Vans were a big thing in the 90s in U.K. and mainly for male teens. I was surprised to find that they never went out of style in USA. Who most commonly wear vans these days?
I was a male teen who wore Vans in the 80s. Now 52 and occasionally still do.
the general population lol. i have worked in vans stores for almost 3 years now. all sorts of people come in for vans
Probably skaters.
Literally everyone
Yeah I mean I just yesterday saw my HR manager wearing a pair and he usually wears like loafers and ankle pants.
Do you think it’s increased this year?
Nope. I’m 48 and in California. I’ve been wearing Vans slip-ons from ages 5 - the present. There hasn’t been a time in my life where people here weren’t wearing them. I even wear them at work, and I’m a teacher.
Vans? Like the things that go on roads? On your feet? Weird….
Started wearing them in the early 2000s and have basically never stopped. I have always had 3 or 4 pairs in rotation, to the point I’ll buy “work” vans and ones to pot around the house/get messy.
- Bunions coming in and I’ll still never take these shoes off… I may have to switch to wides… but that’s another 10 years away
Got them on my feet as we speak.
I got my first pair of Vans when I was in 7th grade, so…1981 or 82.
I’ve been wearing them since I was a teenager in the 90s.
Have been wearing the same style (old skool classic) for 20 years. I’m 33.
58 year old man here. Just took this.
I’m a 21 y/o f, but I see more masculine presenting people wearing vans
I’m 40 but when I was growing up all of the bands I listened to rocked em, so did the skater pros at the time (they probably still do?). That was all it took for me in my teens.
I’m a 54 yo high school librarian and wear Vans almost every day. I have a variety of styles and colors to match my outfits. My stepdaughter is getting married and I’m ordering a pair of customs to go with my dress.
33 here, I still buy skate vans.
