Vans' perfect summer shoe

It's time to put your boots and brogues on ice - for the next six months at least. Spring is in the air and Vans have got the perfect shoe for your summer wardrobe.

The Vans California Era C&P is a luxuriant reworking of the Era CA - the usually subtle canvas making way for a bold pink and burgundy suede.

But it's the instep colour spilt that really gives the C&P a sense of style, the dark Italian checked textile ensuring that the shoes aren't an overload of sickly summer colours.

Available at various sneaker retailers, we recommend your follow up your C&P's with a G&T.
