^^ should clarify, I love Vans and have a few pairs. I just can't wear them if I'm going to be doing lots of walking.

I call my Vionic shoes "old people Vans" because they have arch support, which I need for any walking that is over 30 mins long.

All have versions similar to Vans but price point much higher.

I’m 49 and have old school checkerboard Vans. But the lack of arch support is tough, so I wear them sparingly.

Allbirds are my daily go-to now. Both the wool and tree runners and slip-on loungers.

Vince sneakers. Definitely the grown up Vans.

Oh, I thought they meant either the slip-ons (which is what my teen wears) or the high-top (which is what I think of as the classic vans kids wore when I was in HS). I wasn't even thinking of the plain ol' Keds style sneakers!

I wish I found Vans more comfortable, as I would just get a fun pair of the slip ons.
