These shoes look awesome. They feel good and take awhile for them to start looking dirty. I would definitely get another pair in a different color.

Great shoe -
I'll most likely be wearing this shoe for the rest of my life just because it’s a really stylish shoe. Very comfortable - if you are into slim shoes like these, this is the one you'd want to get. Many different color variations and there are even suede versions of this shoe for those skaters who are tired of their Authentic Vans ripping from the textile material used.

The Classics: A Versatile Shoe -
From jeans to khakis to shorts: this shoe is a comfortable fit and complements many an outfit with its simple design. The cushioning is ideal for those that tread lightly, and often--however, a little bit of jumping around in these shoes will smash the cushion relatively flat--this diminishes the comfort that is present initially. Despite this, the shoe is one that I would buy again, and again. Definitely a shoe that can crossover many genres and is functional.

These shoes are great! I bought 2 pairs (size 10.5) and the fit is true to size. Perfect shoes for a skirt or jeans. I can walk in these for hours without problem. These shoes look sexier than the photos convey. Plus, they’re lightweight and comfortable. Best of all, these shoes are made without a cheap, synthetic lining - that means no blisters from sweaty feet. Love 'em!

The shoe looks great, but the arch support is minimal. Also, the white trim gets dirty easily. But they are good shoes overall.

Authentically awesome! These shoes are so great I bought them again in a different color after I blew out my first pair. Comfortable, stylish, and simple, I'll probably continue to buy Authentic Core Classics in the future. Zappos has been great and I'll definitely continue to buy from them in the future!

These shoes are awesome!! I bought a pair of pink ones and am getting ready to order another pair today. Very comfy and look great. At my age I thought I'd look ridiculous in Vans, but that is NOT the case w/ these! Zappos is awesome and I will def order through them again- excellent customer service! I recommend that people buy these shoes in several different colors!

These shoes are great looking and they fit well. As usual, Vans shoes aren't the most comfortable and tend to wear quickly, but hey - they're cheap! I couldn't find these shoes in stock anywhere but Zappos and I was upgraded to overnight shipping for free, so the buying experience was great.

I bought 2 pairs of this shoe. Please note that the white is not a white but a yellow white. You must ask for true white. When I called, the customer service rep explained the problem and a new pair was sent out immediately. My son likes this shoe because he thinks it is cool. But it has no support, wears easily, and is too expensive since the shoe doesn't hold up.

Love these Vans!
My Husband loved these Vans. They are a great style and very comfortable. He had to exchange the 1st pair for a larger size, so they may run a little small. The good news is that Zappos has such a great exchange policy! Thanks!

Core Classics -
This shoe was pretty good. It has amazing grip and good board control. It can be really comfortable, but you have to tie and untie them every time you take them off. They skate good, but they wear out fast. If these were cheaper, they'd be a good buy.

Very comfortable. I feel a little like Mr. Rogers: I come home from work (singing) and take off my dress shoes and put these on.

Most common shoe you will ever see -
These shoes are pretty good looking, but for skating they need to be broken in. And after they get broken in, they get holes in the stitching. So that leaves about a month until full complete blow out. The flick area is so thin that on mine it wore down to the sole and they’re not very comfy either until broken in, but they still look cool, even though they feel weird to skate.
Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Half Cabs cuz they look cool, but are thicker.

Great shoes, great service!
I ordered them on another site; after 3 days I got a notice that they were out of stock and couldn't tell me when they'd get the shoe. I cancelled and placed the order with Zappos. I opted for regular shipping and they upgraded me to the fastest one they have; got the shoes within a couple of days. Awesome, couldn't have been a better experience!

I've worn Vans every day for the past three years. I really like the all black shoe because they can be worn with a suit and it doesn't look like your wearing "tennis" shoes!

Sweet!
The shoes are so sick.
But they gave me a blister on my foot.
But it’s all good they're still hot.
Looks good with pants and long socks.

Good looking, but a bit uncomfortable -
These shoes look great, especially for the summer, but as a warning, they are a bit uncomfortable barefoot (particularly around the heel). After only walking a few blocks without socks, my heels literally started bleeding. Cool shoes, but definitely wear some socks.

Delivery was fast. Cost was reasonable. The shoe fits great and looks great. If you have wide feet, this is the shoe for you. I like my shoes so much I don't want to get them dirty outside. I don't wear them when the weather is rainy.

Wow -
Considering the fact that I have really large feet, I was amazed I was able to find a pair as good as these. Getting used to canvas shoes was interesting as I've never owned a pair, but after the initial adjustment, it was comfy and durable.

Summer Classic -
I bought these shoes as comfy summer sneaks or to wear with jeans going out, and for that they're perfect. They're super comfy, look good with jeans, khakis, and shorts and they feel good with or without socks. I guess I could've ordered a half a size bigger and gotten away with it, but the 11s feel OK until about the 4th or 5th mile for the day. Other than that, the true white sneaks are tough to keep clean. I spent about 4 hours trying to get them back to their original pure white look. I've heard the best is white shoe polish - live and learn. But for the price, once these things get too beat up to be my "clean sneaks" I'll buy another pair and use the old ones for loungin'. And of course, Zappos is the best.

 |  | What a totally pleasant surprise -
It is very common in this internet shopping world to be disappointed with an order, but Zappos has not only delivered what they promised, they "delighted the customer." I placed my order at about 2:30 in the afternoon (11:30 pacific time) with no special shipping requests and they were here at 10:00am the following morning. I did not pay any extra for shipping, actually shipping was free, and the product that arrived was exactly what I ordered. They fit perfectly and Zappos has a customer for life. What a pleasant surprise!! |  | ~ Steve, November 28 2008
