Default Where to buy Vans?

I'm looking for some Vans shoes. Some of the old classic styles. I found a Vans store in Vegas, but I don't plan on crossing the border for a while.

I'm wondering what stores have the best selections of Vans shoes?

If you're confident in your shoe size with Vans (my size fluctuates a little between certain brands/styles) than I would recommend online. Will probably have the most selection and I know you can then customize the colors (if you are getting a slip-on for example)

Do you have to be such a jerk and post oversized images?

Seriously, be kind and get rid of them.

All the skate shops in town carry them.

There is a shoe store under Group Seven that carries what you're looking for. They specialize in skate shoes, as well as the high end "fashion" shoes them kids wear these days.

http://www.groupseven.ca/store/go/contact-us/

You can also hit Goodfoot on 17th, it's above the Yardhouse.

What size are you... I have over 50 pairs... I could sell you a couple. Some of them I haven't even worn.

If not... Payless sells "Airwalk" a ripoff of Vans. Detox in Chinook has a couple of the basic but if you want to get some more funky ones: Gravity Pope on 17th has the best selection.
Any other questions... send me a PM. Obviously I am a Vans-a-holic.

This site is good but expensive. Vans can be found almost anywhere online.

two sites I have ordered shoes from in the past:

shoemetro.com
zappos.com

I would definitely reccomend looking around US online retailers before you order. The selection will be much much much better. West49 will have Vans, but you will end up wearing the same plain ones that everyone else in the city has.

Vans are vehicles AND shoes. I just learned something today.

I just realized that both my vans are the same colour (shoes and vehicle).

As luck would have it my wife is going to Great Falls soon so she'll try to pick me up a pair at a store that sells Vans, otherwise I'll be waiting until I make it to Calgary and then Edmonton (shudder) later this summer.

... and get rid of that pic!

Zappos is where Kevin Smith buys his shoes.
