Vans Custom Shoe Giveaway

Last night I played around on the Vans website, www.vans.com designing some custom shoes for my son.  He loves light weight, slip-on shoes and for this hot summer weather, Vans are perfect.  He had just outgrown his last pair and we tried to buy some that were similar from a different store and needless to say… it didn’t work.  I have to admit, he comes by this honestly.  His dad is also a shoe FANATIC.  Although, I do think that Evan, my son, is far more particular about his shoes than Corey.

Well after talking about Evan’s new shoes, Lauren was intrigued and wanted to design her own pair of shoes.  She had such a blast.  I bet you can’t guess her favorite color. :-)

Choice #1

image

She has it narrowed down to three pairs that she likes, but said that she would like some help.  So I asked her if she wanted to help me host a contest and we could let other people pick which pair that they liked.  To this proposition, she started jumping up & down and clapping her hands, screaming, and the wild excitement ended with twirls.  (I think that she likes the idea). 

Choice #2

image

So please take a look at the three pairs of shoes that she created and leave a comment telling us which you like best.

Choice #3

image

But you guessed it, the fun doesn’t end here.  Lauren & I are also hosting a fun contest for a free pair of Vans Custom Shoes.

It only takes seconds to pick your colors and begin designing. 

  1. To enter go to Van’s website, design your own pair take a screenshot, or just tell us which you liked best.
  2. Post your screenshot and blog about the Vans experience
  3. Blog about this giveaway
  4. Twitter about the giveaway
  5. and as always, Follow this blog.

Happy Shopping.

www.vans.com

select Shop

Select custom

and begin…. it really is THAT simple.

This contest will end June 26, 2009 at midnight.

I think Lauren should pick the first pair. Simple and cute, and will go with almost anything!

As for me, see my design on my flickr: flickr

I like Choice #2! So cute, she did a great job choosing the colors.

If I could design a pair, I would choose the Old Skool Womens shoes with a mixture of Black/Red/White. For a concert I'm going to next month, those are the bands colors! ;)

I designed a pair but couldnt do the whole screenshot thing. I would LOVE a pair that has a little pink in it.

I think she should definitely go with #2! They are cutesy enough to be girly, the white sole gives the whole shoe an overall brighter feel, but they are still rugged enough to rock the Vans look! What a novel idea - custom shoes...I love it!

Sarah Jensen said...

I say pair # 2. The reason, I love hearts. They aren't tooo girly. And the white soles will be cooler in the summer heat than the black.
So there you have it.
Good luck!

Sarah Jensen said...

I am now following the blog and you on twitter!

This giveaway is so much fun! I designed a pair of black & white slip-ons (that I'm in love with!) and will be posting info about the giveaway on my site, following your blog & tweeting the giveaway too :) Thanks!

I vote for number 3 - super cute~

Carapace said...

I like choice # 2! But they're all so fun!

Wow, what fun! I know this would never work on my home dial up, but on a fast connection it's great! I love that there are so many colors for women-- I'm so sick of white/black/pink being the only options-- and that every single bit of the shoe is customisable!

Me, I'm boring-- I want green slip-on with a checkerboard vamp. Ska down!:D

annalene said...

I really like pair #1, it will match just about any outfit which is a huge plus whereas the other pairs might not match everything! Really cute! If I designed my own shoes, I too would put something pink on them!

Thank you for the giveaway, I've been wearing Vans ever since I was a little kid & still wear them.

If you could design a pair of Old Skool woman choose shoes with a blend of black / white / red. Because I go to a concert next month, these are bands of color.
