Thoughts on these shoes?

[fashiongal304]

As it's started to warm up a little bit I've finally persuaded myself to buy some new trainers for the summer - went with these cute vans in the end (https://www.schuh.co.uk/womens/vans-classic-checkerboard-black-and-cream-trainers/1905137270/?store=&gclid=CjwKCAjwue6hBhBVEiwA9YTx8LC3Cd3kWmy6QpS0QzJ6p4hzQZ9z--LVwRDnEbf26CNPMT2WW7bBTxoCcrMQAvD_BwE) as they seem to go with anything!

My question is do you wear them sockless? I think they look best barefoot so I've been doing that so far but wanted other people's opinions. Thank you everyone :)

Apologies, link doesn't seem to be working but these are the shoes!

I wouldn't buy them because every time one of my boys hits 14 they buy a pair. So they are teenage boy style for me. I don't love the checkers but they aren't horrible.

Sorry, I also think 'teenage boy' when I see those

They're very Sk8er Boi

I wouldn't wear them but if I was forced to then yes, sockless.

I don’t think op wanted opinions on style choice.

Yes op, sockless or those little footsie socks so you are bare ankles but then you don’t have a bare foot getting sweaty in your shoe.

This sort of thing

Anything like this that's a pump type shoe I buy cotton washable insoles and wear without socks. You can take out and wash every couple of wears so it keeps the shoes fresh.

Oh sorry, the thread title made me think you wanted opinions on them!

Yes, go sockless

Yes, no socks, although socks might be what teens would wear them with so you might look a bit more hip in an ironic kind of way.

Although not sure teens are wearing those any more!

These are perfect for that type of shoe, they don't show at all. They have a little rubber bit just inside the back of the heel so they don't slip off. They come in different colours. Can often be bout on 3 for 2 offers. If you live near an M&S out let they often have random colours a bit cheaper and because they don't show at all it doesn't matter they're a random colour!

Sorry I hate them.

But with regards to socks, they'll stink if you wear them barefoot.

Sorry op I put the wrong link on... I get these ones... they're a different fabric to the cotton link I put on before. I find the cotton ones got a bit baggy.

I remember the boys at college all wearing these in early 2000s, been on stranger things too so getting a resurgence.

No show socks 100% (not barefoot)

Teenage boys wear them with socks that come above their ankle so don't do that .

n 1982, the company gained international exposure with Jeff Spicoli (Sean Penn) using the timeless Vans Classic Slip-On checkerboard shoes in the Hollywood blockbuster "Fast Times at Ridgemont High."

My son had those years ago, def not a great look.

I have some. They’re cool. Generally I see them worn with socks now. When I was younger it was barefoot, but I find it much less comfy than with socks.

Please no.

I have three pairs of these and I love them. I suppose it's all down to what you think OP and if you like them.

Can you not read? OP already has the shoes. She’s specifically asked if they should be worn with or without socks.

No, I can't read.

Thanks everyone for your help - I think I'm going to carry on wearing them barefoot unless they get too uncomfortable down the line...

They're cute. Wear them with no show socks.
