In 1966 Paul Van Doren formed the Van Doren Rubber Company in Aneheim, California, and began to sell the original deck shoe.
From those humble beginnings the brand has grown into the worldwide phenomenon that is Vans.
The Vans Classic range celebrates the brands rich heritage, and contains such famous styles as the Era, Authentic, Classic Slip On, Chukka, 106 Vulcanised, Half Cab, Sk8 Hi, Old Skool and Zapato Del Barco.
The Vans California range takes classic Vans silhouettes and gives them a contemporary feel through use of luxury fabrics and high quality trims, as well as creating innovative new styles and shapes. The exclusive Vans California collection is available to buy at Wellgosh and other selected retail outlets.
