❯ The Vans logo is placed in three key places: side, heel and insole. Imitations usually forget to put the heel number or write it incorrectly. ❯ In the Vans logo, the letters are always capitalized. Also, the V looks like a square root sign that covers the rest.

Most Vans do fit true to size, especially the core models like the Old Skools or Authentics. Some of the other models like the Eras or other Vans Vault collaborations, may run a little bigger. Vans are such a simple shoe, especially compared to other sportswear or high fashion sneakers.

If you tend to keep it classic, wear your Vans with a classic collared shirt or buttoned down oxford and skinny jeans. For a more casual approach, layer a crisp white t-shirt over your favourite pair of distressed denim jeans. Whatever your day has in store, you can't go wrong with Vans by your side.
