The Brand: Vans

If you were to ask me what my favorite shoe brand is, I wouldn't need to think about it. I'd say Vans in a heartbeat. Yes, more than Nike, Adidas, Converse, and any other shoe brand you could throw at me, Vans rules the mold, at least for me.

Why? Well, aside from the 3 reasons below, I really like the silhouette of their core models: not too bulky and not too tight. It flatters the feet and is the perfect shoe to finish off many outfits, be it casual, semi-casual (whatever that means), or, I dare say, even formal. This diversity, coupled with the brand's longevity, make Vans a must have in my closet, maybe even yours.
