arn’t vans girls shoes?
DC’s or air walk are were its at.
Vans are the best. Especially the ones with the Off The Wall diamond tread pattern on the sole. The Off The Wall tread grips pinned pedals like nothing else.
Airwalks suck. I bought one pair of Airwalks for unicycling and they fell apart. The sole came unglued from the upper. Cheap construction.
DC doesn’t have any shoes with a good tread pattern for pinned pedals. They may be good skate shoes, but they are not good for trials or muni where you’re using pinned pedals.
With Vans you just have to be careful about the classic canvas style Vans. The classic Vans have a very flexy sole that is uncomfortable for drops and jumps because the sole is so thin. The classic style can be good for freestyle, but don’t use them for anything that involves jumping. Vans with the diamond tread pattern grip pinned pedals better than the other flavors of Vans.
Vans are the best. Only skater wannabes wear DC shoes.
Vans are definitely not exclusively girls shoes.

Ps. Nice shoes!
I got Globe 05s (i think thats what they are called) and they are really good for the pins on metal pedals.
Yeah vans rock do rowleys have the “off the wall” tread? even if they do not they rock for riding,walking in!

Yup. The Vans Rowley’s have the Off The Wall style diamond waffle tread and they’re good for unicycling.

oops appoligies for the largeness of my pic 
Sorry! I should have put a smiley after that comment.

yeah i got some cool laces but they were to short :-(i used to have yellow laces in my emericas. That looked “off the wall” I have not had vans before but these are nice.I am not trying to no your shoes but i don’t like that style of shoe.I had some reefs kinda like that i did not like them i like to have feeling through my shoes.I did not have that i i felt distant from what i was doing.Anyway i hope they are great and they look wack dude!
Ben
i have pink fluffy laces!!! 
nice shoes laura, you have very good taste. did you ever have any of those checkered vans slip-ons, those are the best shoes. i have 2 pairs of vans old skools, one with flames, and one black with pink naked ladies on them. I also have 3 pairs of converse all stars, and soon to be 4 because im probably getting these camoflauge all-stars. by the way, I also have some vans TNTs which have the awsome unicycling off the wall tread. I also have three vans shirts and one hat and a off the wall sticker on my uni! one of my shirts has the off the wall logo on it. so im probably the biggest vans geek on the planet. do you have dyed hair too? i have green hair. oh and i bet you are a hot topic shopper too arnt you?
yes i do have dyed hair i dyed it red but it wasnt bright enough so back to the shops to find yet another dye but brighter this time.
and as for shopping???!!! yeah man anyday
dude at least you have a good obsession (but not as good as my shoe lace one) and not some little freaky obbsession 
checkered vans slip-ons: dont have them unfortunatley but ther are awsome and deffo want some lol (when i actually have some money!)
laura xxx 
p.s green hair! wow,put up a pic?!
(is it long or short?)
Dude so many unicyclists wear vans that we should have commercials showing unicyclists riding with vans and stuff. Not just skateborders.
I’ve got Saviers. Anybody ever heard of them? They were cheap, like $20, and were advertised as being good for skaters so I bought them. They work pretty good I think.
nope never hear of them, post a pic.
