Say what you will, but these are the best things to happen to Vans since the Authentics. Yes, you look ridiculous when you take your shoes off, and people WILL make fun of you for wearing ballet slippers, but I don't care and neither should you. They are made specifically for the Authentics, and don't fall down on your foot like all the other "hidden" socks. So, go on, say what you will, but my shoes will last longer and they won't smell like dead rats from wearing them in the summer with no socks.

I'm with you, Nick.
Although, you posted the ones that I wear.
What about the fancy, color-splashed ones that YOU wear?
brilliant!
hint:
you can buy women's socks in that exact shape (dont show in Authentics) for way cheaper. They are all white and sell for like 2 bucks a pair(they have them at Walmart).
These are the best things to ever happen to me. Mine smell like dead rats without them even in winter months.
They are my best friends.
I can't believe you posted the white ones, they always quit on me and slide under my heel. The blue are so rad, and the tribal jams! And those don't quit. I think they have different elastic. Vans nerd out.
personally a fan of the black ones....for some reason they seem to hold up longer....but those blue ones sound fantastic....I'm off to snag a pair....however, no matter what color, they are a must have.....
@Mira-
Then I'd be wearing girls socks...hmmmm
In regards to the difference in quality and color, I think the issue is more of timing of purchase and shifty production runs by Vans (you know, not made in US anymore).
I was having a conversation yeterday about comments being the only way for me to gauge a "good" post. Really? Weird Vans socks is better than the other two today? I quit. Although I do love me some weird Vans socks.
oh the nasty dead rat smell. Funny you should post this, I just threw my off white's in the wash to try and kill down that very odor. I will probably have to burn my shoes instead.
you'll know it's a "good post" if i comment on it. haha j/k :)
I've been wearing 'noseeums' for quite sometime but I love the logic and design of these. Thanks for the post.
I went to the Vans outlet store this weekend to pick up some sock.
$6 for one pair! insane. Went to target instead and got womens no-shows.
I'd like to challenge what Mira said above on July 23...you actually can not buy socks in the exact shape at $2 a pop at Walmart....because the Canoodle is actually not the same shape as a typical ped. It is a custom made sock that only Vans sells. And the quality is way better than the Walmart-like cheaper basic peds...so you can wear them and wash them over and over again!!
