American brand VANS was established in 1966 and specializes in skateboarding shoes and any related apparel. The sole of the shoes has an iconic look, resembling a waffle sole. In the early years, the brand used to associate every shoe style with a specific number instead of a name. In 1997 the Vans #36 debuted as the Old Skool and is considered the hallmark shoe of the entire brand. The Vans #98, the classic slip-on line became so popular that its silhouette has become the iconic logo for the company. The twilight star Kristen Stewart wore a pair of checkerboard Slip-Ons to cement her footprint on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and so the waffle sole will be there for millions of people to see..
