A unique pair of Vans

A unique pair of Vans

I have issues with my feet so I am generally fairly picky with the shoes I buy and recently I have bought a couple of pairs of vans that work well for me and are pretty comfortable, I was going to buy another pair at the Local vans shop but they didn't have my size so I went onto the Vans website to see if I could order the pair I wanted, while on the site I saw you could custom design some of the models they have.
And that you could even add your own photo into the design and I knew right away which of my recent photos to try.

The Photo I used for this pair of shoes is this one taken while up the Vessel in Hudson Yards.
But let's get back to my new shoes which I have taken for one little walk to break them in a little to the Supermarket and had a couple of people ask me about them, and say they would love a pair like this.
And just this morning on the train to the city a few asked me about the shoes

Would Love your honest thoughts on them?

But I think they are awesome and how cool to have a totally unique pair of shoes

Thanks for the resteem appreciated

I remember that photo and it looks great on the vans. What a brilliant idea. I wonder if they offer that service over here? I'll check it out.

They shipped from China so I imagine they should ship anywhere I would imagine
I got so many compliments on them today and my wife loves them she is trying to talk me into ordering, well coming up with another design and ordering another pair, but I will wait a couple of months till I start wearing down one of my current shoes and get a new pair :)

Haha you sound like me when it comes to shoes.
I've got shoes over 20+ years old!

Now all I have to do is take a photo I'd like to see on my shoes. 😀

Well that is one thing I dont have the oldest pair of shoes I have now are maybe ones I bought 18 Months ago, I would wear them to bits and throw them out, till a few months ago I never had more than 2 pairs of shoes and one being an older pair for wearing if walking the beaches and where it may be muddy, now I have 5 pairs that I rotate through which actually seems to be helping with my feet issue s

Oh wow, you can look down at your shoes and get vertigo! LOL. Excellent shoes!

Lol I never thought of that 👍😎👍

That is very cool!! they look rad!!

Thanks I love them and it is so cool wearing shoes with one own art on them I must say I am sure they feel lighter and more comfortable just for that reason LOL

i like them. they do stand out, but not too much
you should see a couple of orange Nikes i have lol

LOL I used to have a bright orange pair off Nikes that I wore out, so for me these are quite subtle LOL

Has worked very well, really unique and also very comfortable. Thanks for sharing. Such a good idea!

Yes Indeed I am loving this pair, but i will only wear them on nice days this pair I want to keep clean

Super cool! Unique & a lot of fun. My son is bugging me to go shopping for some new shoes. Vans to be exact. I will have to mention that he could chevk out the website. Enjoy your steps in your sweet new shoes @tattoodjay 🌟

It is a bit more expensive to custom design this cost $90 it I think hey are worth it, Generally i only like buying shoes in store so I can check them out but i took the risk with these ones and luckily they fit well

Those are spectacular. I wore Vans all through high school. In fact, I think the original store was in my town, Torrance, CA. The "cool" thing then was to get custom shoes where the colors were flipped between the two shoes (red with blue accents on one and blue with red accents on the other). I actually went to military training with Vans and quickly got shin splints trying to run every morning in them. Great for skateboarding...not so much for running.

I only got into Vans a few months ago, I do imagine there no good for running in but with my fete issues they seem t work well for me so I am very happy ith my new pair and am considering ordering another set but not sure what design to go for this time LOL

This was a really good choice. I'm not surprised that you're getting comments on them. Really cool!

Today it’s a rainy day so back to more conventional shoes 😎

Classy and comfortable, nice combo :-)

Yes indeed I am very happy with them

My granddaughter would think you were 'sic'. According to her, there is nothing more cool than a pair of Vans and the Van's store in Chicago is Paradise. And a pair of custom Vans? Wow!
Your marvelous photo works perfectly and is quite an amazing design for the shoes! You almost make me wish I wore shoes these days! 😃

Lol so Sic is the word these days one of our grandkids is using Lit which means the same I think
I am so happy with these shoes I must say

I heard lit being used a few times around here also. I like that one better than sic! I'll probably just remain old-fashioned and keep saying 'excellent' or some such thing.

Yes excellent works well for me as well but I am sure we had our own slang back in the day

Groovy?

Yes I think that was the one fir our generations

Those are really cool. I buy my girls vans all the time and never went on the website. I am going to try this out. What a great idea. I love the unique idea of being able to use a special photograph. Thanks for sharing.

For me it depends how my feet feel which shoes I wear I have a couple of pairs well three pairs of vans now and two Skechers which all works well for me

OMG! How cool is that! I'm glad you choose that photo as I really like it. I wonder if they reverse the image for left and right shoe if its not symmetric ..?

Well I am biased of course but I think it is super cool I am not sure if they would do the reversing for symetric images that is a good question they do give you the option to check the left and right shoe so I must check that out

Perfect shot for your Vans!!! I love it. I would have never pictured it looking quite that awesome, but, holy moly. That is so fun looking!

Well, you know I would have flowers, but, hey! LOL

You have really given me an idea now! Thank you and thanks for being such a great guide on #SteemUSA!

!tip

Thanks I do love them I didnt wear them today since it was a rainy day I will save these for nice days

One with flowers would be so you, Lulu wants me to do another pair, but I will wait a while for that, but I do have an idea for my next pair already :)
