2022 Vans Sale and Black Friday

One of the best ways for students to get the biggest discount is when there is a big Vans sale. These sales happen throughout the year but there are certain times that they come up which we will show you below. Interestingly enough we’ve found out that there is a permanent sales page on vans.co.uk which is worth a look at any time of year.

However, the best savings is when there is an official sale. Take a look to see if there is one due and if you can claim your discount at Vans today.

Vans Black Friday and Cyber Monday

There tends to be a huge Vans Black Friday sale. They have reductions of up to 70%. We like looking at Vans.co.uk as it’s easy to search by size which is handy and there were good reductions on dresses, shirts, trousers, shoes and much more. If it’s coming up to that date (last week in November) then it’s worth hanging on to.

Christmas, Boxing Day and Vans January Sales

We’ve all seen the queues at 5 am on Boxing Day morning outside a Vans for their big Christmas sales. There are some amazing reductions and deals to be had but they usually go quick. Online is a great place to go but we recommend snapping it up if you see something you like as they tend to sell out fast.

Mid-season and Easter Sales

Around mid-March Vans have a mid-season sale and also something for Easter too. We’ve found that they have a good 50% sale on selected items, and then add additional discounts of 20% on sale items so you can get up to 70% off. This is one of THE best times for students to bag a bargain.

More About Vans

When you hear the word ‘Vans’, providing you’re not conjuring up mental images of transportation, you probably immediately think of a classic, low rise, old skool skate shoe with a distinctive stripe down the side. It’s these shoes that started the brand off and today can be found on the feet of almost anyone who enjoys a comfy flat trainer.

Vans isn’t the cheapest of brands but doesn’t sit within a premium range either (unless you’re a skateboarding professional looking to invest heavily in the proper equipment), so it’s a nice high street name you can rely on for quality and value. The Vans range now spans shoes of almost all sneaker types, as well as flip flops, sliders and some other sports specialist footwear, clothing and accessories; and tiny shoes for tiny people (or, you know, kids). All of the footwear is pretty easily identifiable as Vans due to the consistent branding throughout their collections, so if you spot a pair you like when out and about, you can be sure to find them through the brand.

Vans sell their ranges through their e-commerce website, bricks-and-mortar high street stores in major cities and shopping malls (currently 20 in the UK and a further 10 Outlet stores), and through a selection of third-party footwear retailers such as Schuh, Sports Direct and JD.

The thing about Vans is, although they’re not a budget brand, their shoes last for ages and the nature of their background as skate shoes means that they’re designed for scuffs, bumps and hard wear right from the off. That makes them firmly Student Discount Squirrel approved. There is a 10% discount as standard on Vans products purchased through their primary website, but we don’t find often that this is the cheapest way to buy – we can do better! Check back here for the latest promo codes, voucher info and flash sale details, as well as the latest scoop on individual retailer’s discounts. Don’t assume shopping direct with Vans will be cheaper; we may be able to bag you a better bargain elsewhere!

History of the Company

Back in 1944, Paul Van Doren dropped out of school and was pressured by his mother to get a job in place of his education. Starting out sweeping floors at Randy’s, a shoe manufacturer, Paul worked his way up through the business in a variety of odd jobs and at age 34, became Vice President of the whole company. He decided not long after that he’d like to own his own shoe brand, and alongside his brother, opened the Van Doren Rubber Company in Anaheim, California, producing rubber-soled shoes.

The shoes grew in popularity and the Vans logo we know and love today was actually initially produced by the son of one of the brothers, aged just 13. A graffiti-spray design that he used to decorate his own skateboard decks, was first used on a custom pair of Vans shoes for him across the heel, and later integrated across the range to brand them. Still in place today, it demonstrates brilliantly a quirky part of the company’s history and its family orientation.

Vans was sold by the brothers in 1988 and has since been acquired by new owners again. Taking corporate know-how and aligning it with skateboard-related events and sports, the brand has grown to sponsor the Vans Warped Tour, the US Open of Surfing and hip-hop collective Odd Future, as well as a variety of skate parks and sport-specific competitions, festivals, and events.
