Vans is the original skate shoe brand — there since 1966, and still the benchmark for board feel, grip and durability on a skateboard, as well as a snowboard boot range that brings that same skate DNA to the mountain. From the classic waffle-sole Old Skool to MTE weatherised styles and technical snowboard boots, Vans does street and snow. In stock at our Richmond showroom, shipping free on orders over $90.
