Yes, Converse seem to be the standard favorite of many offbeat grooms (and more than a few brides!), but for those aiming for a “dapper casual” look, Vans are definitely a solid favorite.
I'm including a range of styles from high tops to slip-ons, and a range of colors from basic black and white to checkers and cheetah print… sadly, the flames are only available in kid sizes (perfect for a ring bear, perhaps?).

I realized, why should ladies get all the fun? Grooms need shoes too, and while a black leather shoe is fine ... there are certainly... Read more

Don’t forget that you can customize Vans too! http://shop.vans.com/catalog/Vans/en_US/category/custom-shoes.html#/selectShoe
My man is outfitting the men in custom Vans (he works for them and I’ll post picks after!) but I love the fact that they have so many color and pattern options in their classic styles. My fav style for ladies is the authentic lo-pro.
I LOVE vans. I’ve been wearing them for years. Each pair I own gets worn to death- and then some!
My groom did white vans and all the rest had the gray check….we got special orange shoelaces for all of them to make them “custom” with our color combo. They were a hit!
Hell yeah! I’m getting married in August on a beach in Alaska in grey classic slip-ons. I’ve been an avid Vans fan since high school and I have always loved how they look sans socks so they’re the natural choice to pair with my shortish dress. I’ll change into cute sandals for the reception but I wouldn’t dream of taking this big life step with anything else on my feet. Bonus: FH knows how much I love the look of a man in all-black slip-ons a la David Boreanaz and surprised me by buying a pair, he intends to wear them the whole day *swoon*
Hilarious that this ran today considering my guy just received his custom made Vans in the mail today! They are awesomeballs! If they hadn’t arrived on time, he was going to wear his dressier Vans as a backup, but either way, his feet are supporting Vans!
Vans are so good because they have literally got any color available and they are smart casual. They go with literally anything and the price is very reasonable!
Love this post! We ordered my groom custom Vans and are eagerly awaiting their arrival now!
I love vans.. They are so comfortable, and trendy too.. I think they look slick on us grooms to be!
