Men have but a smaller scale of choice in fashion unlike women who has a world of items to choose from bags to hair pins. So when a brand like Vans bring about sleek funky designed shoes, it is blessing for men to have more than a limited list to choose from. Founded by Paul Van Doren in 1966, Vans shoes was just a simple idea to make shoes and sell them directly instead of using a middleman. The first Vans old skool shoes had a diamond pattern in the sole across the entire bottom of the shoe. Vertical lines were then added later to make it stronger. In the year 1976, skateboarders and skaters alike began wearing Vans shoes and requested if more colors could be injected into the designs. It was when Jeff Spicoli a Californian surfer who had worn a pair of Vans checker-board slip ons in a hit movie did the craze began for Vans shoes. Today it boasts about 60 styles consisting of classic deck shoes and slip-ons to high performance skateboard shoes, snowboard boots and sandals.
