If there’s one sneaker that doesn’t need an introduction, it’s a classic pair of Vans. The brand’s Authentic and Classic styles are currently marked down to as little as $29.97, making this a particularly good opportunity to stock up on an everyday shoe that won’t feel dated next season (or even next year, for that matter). As one reviewer aptly puts it, they’re “Comfortable, timeless, cool.” And even better, shipping is free on orders over $50, so you can grab two pairs for basically $60 or less. That’s a killer deal if we’ve ever seen one — and trust, we’ve seen plenty.
If you’re looking for some styles to grab on sale — a great idea before the holidays, by the way — check out some picks below. Take note that for every pair of sneakers below, you can find them in unisex sizes, fitting women’s sizes 5-14.5 and men’s sizes 6.5-13.

Some fluffy classic slip-ons for added texture and warmth (49% off)
These marshmallowy, fluffy uppers are sure to attract the eye, and with the added high-pile fleece, you’ll also get some added warmth for the cold seasons. It doesn’t get any cozier than this.

If you’re looking for a versatile pair of Vans, this may be the best pick of the bunch. Totally white and as clean as they come, these will pair well with jeans as well as slacks. Grab some for nearly 50% off.
Promising review: “Nice take on the classic. I get many compliments. I bought two—second one by accident, but I kept both.” — cwhig
A bold pair of overpainted suede Vans (67% off)
A subtle upgrade to a timeless sneaker. These Premium Authentics feature an overpainted black suede upper, giving the classic low-top silhouette a bold, worn-in, textured look. They also come with an upgraded cushioned footbed, a glossy sidewall finish and an extra set of laces.
Promising review: “A beautiful well made shoe that is comfortable. When I wear them, random people ask me where I bought them... or tell me I didn’t know VANS came in that design or color.” — Johnny Veins
An edgy but smooth, soft pair of Creeper Vans (49% off)
If you’re looking for a little edge to your Classic sneaker, check out this pair. In bubblegum pink, they have some aggressive outsoles that add a platform. In other words, these Vans are creepers. Their uppers are smooth and shiny, and the outsoles are jagged and bold. A great balance for those who love exaggerated looks.
Promising review: “I’ve been wanting creepers for quite some time, and I had no idea that Vans made them. I was so excited to see these on sale and had to snatch them up. They look super cool, and they seem to be well constructed. They are not the most comfortable or supportive, but that’s par for the course with Vans. I bought these purely for the aesthetic and they are living up to that expectation.” — Allie
An all-over, flowery luxury upgrade to a Vans classic (60% off)
These LX Authentics have an all-over daisy print for a bright, colorful and playful laced sneaker for year-round wear. They’re fairly retro-leaning and come with a cushioned insole for a softer step than traditional Authentics. And in case you’re wondering: The “LX” stands for luxury.
Promising review: “Bought a pair of the premium authentic shoe for my mom, because she’s the greatest woman EVER!!! Her words not mine... “I freaking love how these fit and look” she can stand in these all day at work looking like the coolest 71 year old at the pharmacy she works at. Constantly getting remarks like “I Love your shoes” “those are so cool where did you get them!?!?” etc.... They were a great buy!” — Johnathan
A tweed pair of slip-ons for a snuggly, classy sneaker (45% off)
Tweed slip-ons? Sure, why not. These offer a slightly dressier take on the classic skate shoe, but are packed with plenty of personality. They’re a nice way to add some texture to an otherwise casual outfit without sacrificing comfort or convenience. And hey, they’re slip-ons, so they’re incredibly easy to put on!
Herringbone fabric and suede sneakers for some added visible depth (60% off)
This pair swaps the usual canvas construction for a textured herringbone fabric and suede overlays. The black-and-tan color combination gives these low-profile shoes a little more depth than the traditional two-tone Authentic. Don’t like black-and-tan? You can grab it in brown and black, too.
