Commuter Shoe: Vans Sk8 Hi

asphaltgold

After being a NYC dweller for all of .25 seconds, I feel like I've gained some knowledge on how to run through the streets in the cleanest and comfiest shoes. If you've ever been on the subway during rush hour, you probably have a distinct and hellish visual etched into your memory; the commuter sneaker. Typically, this shoe is a chunky, god forsaken pair of Skechers that begs to be tossed into a ceremonial fire. I knew it was in my best interests to avoid that nightmare in any way I could. But how, Sam? How can I cop fresh sneakers that I can wear to work and on the train? Well, my people, ride with me on the path to success.

I have never purchased nor sported a pair of Vans until this week and I'm not sure how I've been living such a deprived life. Because my internship is extra lit, I can basically wear whatever footwear I see fit so I took the opportunity to borrow my older sister's scotchgard Vans Sk8 Hi's. I slipped them on and was practically skipping on my way to work. Not only are they beautiful, but they are perfect for a girl on the go - like myself. If you commute to work and hate the idea of wearing running sneakers with your jeans half as much as I do, head directly to Urban Outfitters to purchase these immediately. You will not regret it.
