People think Vans they think shoes, as they should, but there's a lot more to it…read more
Let's start with the other stuff. As with other Vans stores, this one outfits the cool kids with t-shirts and pocket tees, hoodies, quarter zips, tank tops, beanies, fleece, backpacks, rucksacks, water repellant gear, stretch pants, caps, jockey hats, board shorts, crew socks, sunglasses, wallets, belts, and the rest.
Two important notes when it comes to this store and Van's stores in general:
First, it not just for boys and men ... you'll find plenty of stuff for Women's sizes as well.
Second, Vans isn't just for the skater crowd. It's got a large selection for snowboarder gear (including a killer line of boots) and surfers (although not much now in February at this snowy Utah location.
And, of course, they've got plenty of Vans. When I say that it has more Vans shoes than any store at the Station Park mall, that's not totally a no-brainer: The nearby Zumiez with piles (literally) of Vans and a Famous Footwear with at least 20 Vans options.
It definitely has more of the latest fashions from the Vans braintrust, and have other stores beat on the options of their famed (and original) checkerboard patterns. And their flexibility in sizes will make those bigfeeters (12+) happier than they will coming out of Zumiez or FF.
As for the prices, I'm used to the Vans Outlet and Park City where I walk out with a pair for about $50. Most of those I liked were $65-100.
Then again, this is the freshest gear; the hippest Vans fan will want to make their way to this location. Remember, Vans is "Off the Wall" ... not off the rack.
