For short periods of time, wearing Vans shoes without socks is perfectly fine and actually quite comfortable! If you're popping out to quickly run errands or hanging out at home, going socks-free is perfectly fine. But if you're going to be on your feet all day, we suggest wearing socks with your Vans. Not only will this prevent blisters, but it will also keep your shoes feeling secure and cool, preventing your feet from working up a sweat.
