I like to buy vegan when possible and these fit the bill. I put some argyle laces in to spice them up a little. They are priced right, ShoeBuy has fast shipping, and some good sales if you get on the email list. Vans are fabulous and as usual, these are too!

I bought this pair of shoes for my teenage daughter. It had become the latest trend at her school. She has only had them for a few weeks, but so far they are holding up nicely, appear to be good quality, and have not had any issues.

My daughter loves these shoes. She just said that one is a tiny bit bigger than the other. Who knows? Maybe her feet? Maybe the shoe?
