The Trek Slip-On is like the Canoyonero for the Aus coastline.

You know, that truck from The Simpsons is ready for anything? That’s pretty much what Vans are going for with the Trek Slip-On which is made for climbing over rocks on the way to that secret break, or for that gravelly walk to the beach, or pretty much any time when you need something in between shoes and bare feet. It’s breathable, rinseable and durable.

And who would need a versatile kick more than anyone? Well, Vans surfer Holly Wawn is no stranger to adventuring around the globe looking for that next wave, so we thought she’d be the perfect person to give the Trek Slip-On a test run. Naturally, she was impressed with the kick’s practicality and was really wondering why no one had thought of it yet…
