These Rubber Vans Are the Ultimate Summer Adventure Shoe
VansSometimes going barefoot on the beach is not as idyllic as it sounds — rocks and shells can be just as commonplace as nice soft sand. But sandals, which solve the rock and shell problem, can also be a pain — either sliding off your feet or getting dirty beyond repair. Well, with the new Trek Slip-On from Vans, you won’t have to worry about going barefoot or dealing with sandals this summer. The rubber shoe offers great traction, extra support and plenty of drainage holes for breathability and water drainage. In short, the shoe combines the best of a sandal and a shoe in one. Plus, with a single-piece injected construction, the Trek Slip-On is fully collapsable — making it the perfect shoe to throw into your suitcase. Enjoy all of your activities this summer without your shoes (or bare feet) holding you back.
