vans and chucks

i think everyone by now owns at least one pair of either vans or chucks. many people aren't aware that you can customize your own online! they can help you choose the inside color, stiching, and much more on their website. it costs $60 flat and takes a few weeks to ship. you can even add some writing with some initials or words on the chucks. it's nice because most people always have the same color and it's not unique but i think it's kinda neat that you are able to design your own. chucks aren't that comfortable though, i prefer vans for the comfort but i believe chucks have more options to design the shoe. they have patterns also, and shoe laces come in a lot of colors. if you get bored check it out!!

Interesting, a "customise your own shoes" type of store. I can bet that Vans and Chucks will make extra money from doing this, especially as normal retail stores do not offer a variety of different colors and types of shoes. It is often a pain to drive to an outlet just to get that cool looking pair of shoes you have been looking for. though, the question is that how many more obnoxiously colored shoes are we going to see on the streets with this website now functioning?

yea i think they are making extra money but not many people go on the website because everyone thinks that they can just go to the mall or the outlet to get the same ones everyone else has! i hate that normal retailers only carry very few colors and that is why i went to their website to find the ones i specifically wanted and came across their customizing page. to be honest, i havent seen very customized shoes around yet!
