Vans Inc.: The Orange-based footwear maker said Tuesday it is taking several steps toward improving its international sales. With the expansion of its distribution channels in Western Europe, for the first time, Vans shoes will be sold in Norway and Austria.

Also, Vans said it has replaced its distributors in Canada, France, Andorra and Monaco because the company did not feel its sales were strong enough in those markets.
