Custom Vans Slip-Ons

I know what you're thinking. Well, yeah, technically, these are kinda hideous. But let's get this straight: college football season begins in three weeks, a girl needs to sport her colors, and just anyone can buy some college-specific Nike IDs (those are for banner ad-susceptible commoners; also, Nike offers a pink version of your college logo for girls which is just insulting and I refuse to support that as well as pink hammers and screwdrivers and toolboxes).  These Vans slip-ons are both old school and completely customizable, thereby allowing you such whimsy as adding a camo heel counter to remind everyone looking at your ass that you're a soldier reporting for duty here and not to be trifled with - unless it's half time and I'm in the beer line, in which case: [bats eyelashes].  Are they made for people born deformed and archless?  Yes.  Will you have to cut a slit in the elastic gore just to get them on?  Yes. Will you get a weird tan line because the vamp comes up high?  Yes, because your team plays in a stadium approximately 300 yards from the sun.  Are these minor obstacles you should ignore in favor of looking like a street-wise sexpot while cheering your boys this fall like a champ?  Absolutely, and you're just 3-5 weeks away.

Where were you when I was tearing the mall apart trying to find wedding shoes?

[Holly]

I like the "old skools" (they spell it like that? really?) better, but the color selection is paltry. (They do have an extremely passable Tennessee Orange, though, so I guess I shouldn't complain.)

[Janie]

Yeah, the color selection's worse because it's suede. Disappointing, and hard for subtropical climates. They'd rock in Knoxville, though.

(also they've been spelling it with a k since before Avril Lavigne was born)

How long did it take them to deliver? I have been thinking that all white with an orange foxing stripe would be the perfect accent to the orange, purple and white liberation jumpsuit I plan to wear to Atlanta on the 30th.
