Shoes

Vans was born in the skate scene, so our kids shoes have been tailor-made to take a beating. We use high-quality suede and canvas to build kids trainers that are made to survive the skate park, the playground, and the school run. Our easy on and off shoes can be kicked off in a rush without being destroyed. Plus, our signature rubber waffle outsoles are absurdly grippy, providing traction for all terrains so they can run wild.

Our range prioritises form and function to suit the needs of each age bracket. Our toddler shoes feature classic Vans silhouettes, but with a double hook-and-loop closure for an easy on and off they can handle themselves. They are designed to stay flexible and padded for comfort in those early steps. For older kids aged four and up, we prioritise sturdiness while keeping designs true to the creatives and skaters they were made for. Wondering what size do kids trainers go up to? We cover up to size 13.5, and once they have outgrown kids' sizing, our Authentic shoes range picks up exactly where this leaves off.

Whether you need durable school shoes to survive five days a week or versatile kids running shoes built for weekend chaos, Vans are designed to handle both without falling apart by half term. They are made for always. We also stock laceless kids slip-on shoes, classic black kids trainers, and highly durable kids waterproof shoes for all-weather wear. So whatever the occasion calls for, there is a pair that fits the bill. If you are gearing up for the new term, check out our full back to school collection to get them ready.

It is the same Vans identity adults wear. From classic black-and-white checkerboard to bold prints and colour pops, there is a style for every kid. We encourage going against the grain. Both our girls shoes and boys shoes pull from the same archive of silhouettes Vans has built its name on, so nobody is stuck with leftover designs. We also stock wide fit kids shoes so they never have to sacrifice comfort. Want to build a full fit? Pair their new kicks with our latest kids clothing and finish it off with our kids accessories. Browse the full kids Icons collection to see the silhouettes this range is built on, because a healthy disregard for the rules is good for all of us.
