Vans Shoes for Women

Vans have been part of the skater scene since the 1970s. For over 40 years, it's been producing high quality, comfortable shoes that are designed for skateboarding, BMX riding, beach, and casual wear. Nowadays the company also produces clothing and accessories like hats and wallets.

Materials

A lot of Vans shoes are made with canvas uppers – cool, breathable, and easy to dry out after an accidental dip in the water. Some suede and leather options are available too, especially in the Pro range.

Unisex design

While Vans are available in men's and women's shoes – allowing for differences in width and arch between men and women – the majority of Vans shoes are basically unisex in design, following the now standard low profile sneaker outline.

Vans for wide feet

If you have wide feet, you might find women's sizing for Vans to be too narrow. If this is the case, try Vans men's shoes instead – shoes designed for men are usually wider than shoes designed for women.

Vans collaborations

Over the years, Vans has collaborated with an impressive array of artists. Some of the most popular – often still available as pre-owned collectibles – are the 2013 Peter Saville florals, Iron Maiden Number of the Beast prints, the Beatles' Yellow Submarine, 2014's Star Wars collection, featuring the franchise's most-loved (and hated) characters, and 2019's Nightmare Before Christmas selection.

What to wear with your Vans

Vans makes a range of other clothing, like tee shirts, shorts, socks, and wallets. These are all designed to cope with the rigours of an active lifestyle, making them a good addition to your wardrobe. If you're looking for something smaller, picking up a few pairs of shoe laces in various colours allows you to change the look of your Vans with a simple re-lacing.
