My Vans are looking a bit tired so I’m after some new ones. All I want is a dark coloured pair but in leather, not suede. I have the ability to wreck suede shoes in days. Finding something suitable is proving to be tricky. The Vans website has Old Skool in purple leather, that’s about it. Help me Singletrack!

If you’ve got small feet* the vans/Finisterre collaboration shoe is good. Much more comfortable, sturdy, grippy and weather proof than a normal pair. And made from recycled gubbins etc
*Because I think they’ve sold out of big uns!

I saw the Vans/Finistre colab and it excited me in many ways, until i saw the price… So i settle on a normal pair from the Vans Ultrarange and so far they are, comfy, cozy and bombproof. And on offer, cant forget that part. I got the MTE edition for extra wear protection and durability

I miss the old style vans from several years ago that were much wider. The new style are far too narrow.

My latest set are part suede slip-ons and so tight have ripped them getting them on.

Can you not spec your own on the shoe builder with Leather?

I checked you can create fully Leather Old Skool’s for about £95
