Help me choose: Vans slip-on

Missey

I love the patterns of these Vans slip-on's but amd having trouble limiting myself to one pair. My favorites are the Van Doren and the Abstract slip on, but the Beatles pattern at the bottom of the page has a place in my nostalgic heart. What do you all think?

I love the Van Doren and the Beatle's ones the best (and get a kick out of the fact that if I wore the Beatles ones to my office the vast majority of my young co-workers would have no idea what the print was)

The Beatle's ones make me wanna start singing "We all live in a Yellow Submarine."

I think that's a personal preference kind of thing, since they are all the same style. Funny to see them again. I had a pair in Jr. high I'd wear for gym. Red and white checks. Right around the time of Fast Times at Ridgemont High coming out. Ah, the days . . .

I like them all, but my favorite is the Abstract. Which would work best with your wardrobe?

Just in terms of design and color, my favorite is the Beatles. I think it depends on what you want to wear with them in terms of color and pattern. The Abstract has the smallest pattern which reads a little like twill to me.

Well, they don't look too expensive, so if your closet and pocketbook can accommodate two pairs, I would get two. I would get the Beatles ones, because it seems like your heart really has a spot for them, and then I would get one of the others you mentioned, whichever would go better with your wardrobe. Personally, when I duplicate, I don't like any more than two of an item, so that's where I'm coming from!

I love both the Beatles pattern and the Van Doren. But really, I don't think you could lose with any of these. They are all quite fab.

My favorite is the Beatles. So iconic, so colorful, and so fun. If I chose only one pair, I would get that pair in an instant.

I'd be inclined to get a less colorful one for a second pair though -- maybe just black, or black and white checked, but that's me.

Of the ones you named, I love the Beatles the most.

For myself, I love, love, love the bronze. I had a pair of pewter boat shoes that I wore the heck out of and these would be a similar workhorse, I think. Also love the black and white checkerboard because that's what we wore back in high school.

I lean toward the Beatles pair, as I mentioned earlier. The Van Doren are a close second. Thanks for all of your input!

MaryK I love the bronze too!

I really only want one pair just for a fun kick around shoe for the spring/summer and it's nice that I can afford this version of the slip on sneaker trend.
