First of all, I am a huge fan of
Vans. They are not too expensive, and I can get just about every color to match
hats,
hoodies, etc. The
Vans 106 Vulcanized are awesome. They are very similar to the original lace ups/
slip-ons, but are just a little higher on your ankle. Not much, but enough to prevent my
pants from dragging the little that they do with the originals. I picked up the chambray
peacoat/indian teal for myself and have gotten countless compliments on the color. I am a big shoe guy and have only seen this color on Zappos. I went to the
Vans store in them and the associate was flipping over the color cause he had never seen them before. I got my girlfriend the navy color because she said she could wear them with anything. She loved them just as much as I do. At the price, for two pairs of shoes it's a steal. I love Zappos.com and I love
Vans. It's a match made in heaven!
