What do you get when you combine Geoff Rowley, one of the best skateboarders in the world, and Vans? Some really freaking awesome shoes, that’s what! Add into the mix that Geoff is a vegan and has designed the shoes without leather or any animal products whatsoever, and even non-skaters might want to rush the stores for these bad boys.
Now, by no means am I, personally, a skater. I’ve tried, fallen, been laughed at for flailing around so much – I thought it was pretty comical, too – and am happily content to watch those gifted with coordination and skill from somewhere safe. Preferably sitting down, which is much safer for me.
But I am a huge fan of Vans shoes, and these in particular pretty much rock my socks off. The classics are a personal favorite. Want some for yourself? You can zoom right on over to the Vans website and shop to your heart’s content.
Socks optional.

I went to buy these at a vans store and not all the materials are man made. Careful when buying vegan shoes not always are they really vegan.
Geoff Rowley’s shoe line was all vegan for a long time, for years. Now he’s adding in leather and is no longer vegan. And he likes big game hunting, so… f him. Don’t buy his shoes. Or at least check the materials before you do.
I am so glad you both posted about Vans and Geoff Rowley not being vegan.
I am especially greatful for hearing Chad being pissed that Geoff is a big game hunter… so much lies out there… vans using “vegan” to market nonvegan products… and this Geoff dude getting off killing big game and yet claiming to also be a sweet wonderful animal loving vegan dude. What lies… its good to hear people care and see the bulls*** for what it is. Thanks!!! for caring this much to be pissed and help tell others.

Just checked out Geoff Rowley’s myspace.
He say’s he’s a Vegan. Thats good enough for me.
geoff rowley is NOT vegan, i don’t care what his myspace says. he was just featured in a new video premier canned hunting big game. last time i checked, shooting an animal at point blank wasn’t vegan. i don’t know, maybe i’m missing something, but i think being vegan and shooting and killing animals don’t quite coincide.
