“Oh, these go, too!” is the term my daughter used. They are cute and comfy for her and for me, the price is just RIGHT. Go, too!

Husband is very happy -
My husband thought the shoes were very comfortable; he was looking for a lighter weight shoe with a "solid" bottom and these fit the bill.

A classic -
Just like you wore in the late 70s.
Comfortable and cool. Buy them half a size bigger than you normally buy.

Ladies white Vans Classics -
Had to order twice to get the right size, they run larger than normal. I enjoy the younger look vs. the Keds white sneaker look. However, hard to wear low cut socks because they slip off on the heel, I know the look is sockless, but don't want the sweat to make my feet stink, which I remember so well back in the 80's when we all wore them sockless!

Great Experience...
I bought the shoes for my daughter and she loved them. We ordered late Wednesday evening and she got them on Friday. Super fast shipping. Would do business with Zappos.com again.

Called authentics for a reason -
Forget all you've heard from wimps complaining about Vans hurting. Well what do you expect from awesome board feel. Waffle grip is the best thing that’s ever happened to shoes. Suck up the minimal pain or add an extra sole (just get a bigger size). They also rip from the grip tape since the shoes are made of canvas...so if you get any holes, duct tape is a good idea. In fact duct tape provides a pretty good layer after the original canvas completely rubbed down either way, cheap shoes, you don't hafta skate in em if you don't want to, that'll last a few years.

Sacrifice for simplicity?
I love the simplicity of these shoes, with the solid colors it’s easy to match with clothes. However, they crease quite easily if you're not careful and to be honest the comfort isn't anything special. But don't get me wrong, these shoes are awesome.

I went to 2 different shoe stores in 2 different towns to buy this shoe. It took a total of 5 trips; they had me coming back when they get a new shipment. (Ha!) I took a friends advice ordered from Zappos, got the shoe fast and they wouldn't let me order if not in stock. Thanks!!!

Shoes were great, but it was the shipping that amazed me. I ordered the shoes on a Wednesday night and came home from work on Thursday to find the shoes on my doorstep. Very impressive.

Replacement -
I replaced a 1yr old White pair with the Black/Black style. I'm thinking that the Black/Black will not show dirt like the old pair. For a real off the wall look I wear them with white socks.
I am really pleased with the fit of the new shoes. I did not realize that my old shoes had grown sloppy with age.

Fantastic shoes and ever better service.
I am very delighted to have purchased these shoes from Zappos. The Vans Authentic have always been a great shoe and I decided to get my first pair yesterday. I used to wear Converse All-Star all the time, but I've made the smart switch now. Converse shoes usually only last about a year for me anyways. They fit great, look great, and are well-priced. Although they're not as comfortable as other sneakers, they are a classic. I ordered these at 5 p.m. and had them delivered to my door at 1:30 p.m. the next day. If that's not GREAT service, I don't know what is.

Butter, brah!
Perfect for chillin, looks great, and gives you an old school look. Wouldn’t recommend wearing them as your everyday shoe, but overall, they’re a very comfortable, stylish shoe! Get more then one color!

I purchased these shoes for my daughter and she absolutely loves them. All her friends have asked where they too can get a pair. We have referred then to your online service which too is amazing. As much as my daughter loves your product line I'm sure we will be ordering on line many more times in the future. You guys rock!!

This is a great shoe, with a great "old school" look -
These shoes are true to size, but will stretch a little bit since they are canvas, so just keep that in mind.

I have to say I bought this shoe for my husband.

Delivery time was right on the money. The shoes look great but comparing them to my other Vans, they seem a little larger and wider than those of the same size.

If you are buying these, you most likely know Vans pretty well. These will stretch a bit, being canvas , so take that into account. They fit well and are quite comfortable; a good classic shoe for those of us that need to look a little more adult, but still enjoy the feel and look of this 'skater shoe'.

Van's Authentic Core Classics -
As usual, Zappos pulled through for me. I just love how fast I received these Van's shoes. My brother is very hard to fit. He is a size 14. I can always count on Zappos to have his size in the great quality I have known and trusted for years. Thanks Zappos!

I love these shoes. They are comfortable and stylish. They also keep your foot somewhat cool. Not like some shoes that make your feet sweaty.

 |  | You guys are awesome. I can't remember the last time a company was as customer service oriented as yall are. You never see next day air shipping but yall did it just for my shoes, that’s amazing, thank you. Clarks aren't sold here in Wichita, KS so it’s really nice to know that I can by them from yall and get them the next day. Thanks again. I will be buying from you for years to come. Have a blessed weekend.
