COVID SAFE PLAN
Hygiene and social distancing measures
To help make our stores safer, we’ve introduced several measures to help us maintain an appropriate distance from each other while in our stores. We will review and adapt these in-store measures as the environment evolves.
Introduce a limit to the number of customers in-store at any given time.
Our stores will have signage displayed with the max capacity allowed in-store at any one time.
If the store has reached capacity, the number of customers will be managed using a one in, one out policy.
Mandatory face masks in-store
Face masks are mandatory when shopping in our stores.
Click & Collect
Region Click & Collect Service Auckland Click & Collect
Greater New Zealand Click & Collect
Maintain 2 metres apart from each other where possibleSocial distancing tape will be placed around our floors and seating areas. These can be found throughout the store as reminders, as well as areas where you may be required to queue.
Use EFTPOS/Paywave/Tap n Go services available
We strongly encourage you to use your card or phone to tap and pay instead of cash, whenever possible.
Use sanitisation station upon entering the store
Hand sanitiser will be available for all customers upon entry.
Regular cleaning routines throughout the entire store
We apply the highest standard of cleanliness and hygiene across our stores. We have increased the routine cleaning of frequently touched hard surfaces.
Remove and put on your own footwear
Our team will still be available to assist you with any sizing questions you may have, however they will maintain 2-metre distance to comply with social distancing! We will also have disposable try-on socks and gloves available.
Training for team members on social distancing and additional hygiene measures
All of our team members will be required to complete a training course.
Thanks for playing your part in helping us practise social distancing. We appreciate your continued support as we work through this together.

Sizing Information

What size Vans should I buy?
Our shoes are sized according to the US standard and all our shoes are unisex, so no one is excluded from wearing our kicks!
When purchasing an item from a unisex range, your invoice will reflect the US Mens (default) size.
For example, you might be a US Womens 7.5 however it will show as US Mens 6 at the checkout and on your order confirmation. In this instance, a US Mens 6 is equivalent to a US Womens 7.5.
Need help figuring out your size? Check out our comprehensive size guide.
Alternatively, measure the length from the back of your heel to the end of your longest toe. Compare this length to the table below to find your perfect fit.

Do you have any Vegan Vans?
Under the Accent Group umbrella, Vans offers Vegan and vegan-friendly styles.
If you want to avoid leather and suede, many of our classic styles are made from canvas, mesh + rubber. However, we can't guarantee these shoes don't contain any animal products as manufacturers tend to use animal-based products in their glue.
