Who can please a Teenager? Zappos can! I have purchased the same style of Vans for my son repeatedly for almost 2 years. No complaints, only comfort. I love that my previous purchases are in my history and I simply have to move a new pair to my shopping cart. Zappos customer service is phenomenal. Their concept of customer care is unparalleled in my experience with internet shopping. My active family of 3 boys can go through shoes like wildfire! Thank you, Zappos, for overnight shipping, easy returns, fantastic selections, and Customer Care agents that I can understand!

The shoes are comfortable, but most importantly Zappos got them to me the next day. This is the best customer service on the net.

This is the second pair of Vans Authentic Core Classics I've bought, and I love them just as much as I love my other pair in red! I have wide feet, and these shoes are perfect because they have a little extra width. I previously tried Converse, but they were just too narrow and uncomfortable. I wear these shoes almost every day, and they are always comfortable. They also hold up fairly well (I've even worn them in the pouring rain; when I did that with my Converse, I ended up with wet feet).

Best pair of shoes period. Fit was perfect. Super comfortable, and go great with jeans. I got the true white ones and plan to order another pair or two. Gotta get a pair. You won't be disappointed. Price is fair, too.

Relative to shoes in fashion, Vans Authentics are an American staple. No sane girl or boy would ever come home without knowing two or three pairs anxiously awaited their return, like loyal pets. Vans made these shoes with love, not engineering. They won\'t magically augment posture, but they might just augment your posterity.

I\'ve bought this shoes 3 times in the past and I love them. They are cheap and they look good with certain clothes. I recommened them if you\'re looking for a light weight, cheap, comfortable shoe.

I absolutely love these shoes. These are my first pair of Vans and I got them in red. I\'ve been loyal to Chucks for years, but I think I have a new love. They are so comfortable and cute. I\'ll definitely be getting more.

These shoes are excellent. For some reason, they had to be a full size smaller than all the other shoes I wear so they would fit. In any case, though, the craftsmanship of the shoe is immediately obvious; I think I could use these for longer than I have been able to use any other pair of shoes so far. Oh, but you do have to break them in some.

Once You Go Vans You Can't Go Back -
I am a huge Jordan fan and I own almost every Jordan shoe made, but to this point I had not tried Vans. I just bought my first pair 3 weeks ago, and at first it took a while to figure out my size. But noe that I have been wearing this pair I love them. I can't stop myslef from wearing them everyday whether they go with the outfit or not. And I rarely ever have that problem because the black vans are able to be worn with any otufit.

Great pair of really comfortable sneakers. Buy from Zappos; you'll save about 50% off what you'd pay in a store if you can even find them. I have about 4 different colors of the Vans off The Wall and love them all.

Not good for skating; they get worn out in a week. I like them to just wear, though. If you want skate shoes, get Vans half cabs.

It's a classic design! I am disappointed in the durability of the shoes. I've owned them for about a year, not too many miles on them and the sole is pulling away.

These shoes look good. They're really cute and go with anything. They aren't very well made, however. One of them especially causes me a lot of pain in my Achilles. I've never had a problem before, but after wearing these, my tendons are sore for some time after. Also, they don't have very good arch support. Disappointing.

Ahhh, Van\'s. I used to wear these all the time in high school. Everyone who was cool or wanted to look cool, had to have a pair of Van\'s. I had solid colors and the two tone, which was very popular in the 80s! I bought a pair of the solid red and blue. I slipped them on and WOW! talk about memories flooding back! If my old Van\'s could have talked...

1/2 size smaller -
Shoes look great! I normally wear a 9, but wear an 8.5 for sports. I ended up returning the 9. If you plan on ordering, I would go a 1/2 size smaller. They are a little stiff at first, but I expect them to be more comfortable as they break in. SHIPPING WAS GREAT!

The Perfect White Tenny!
I was looking for a cute, plain white, round toe tennis shoe to bum around in. It's harder than it sounds! But I went to Zappos, entered my parameters and voila! These cute VANS popped up. They are comfortable, fit true to size and had the clean, retro look I was after. I have a boney instep but these felt fine. I THINK I can wash them in the machine, too. They are a super cute shoe! AAA+++

It is good to be back in Vans again. I always used to wash them first (to slightly shrink them) and it worked the same as always this time too. Before washing it was slightly loose but perfect now.

My NEW favorite shoe(s)-
I purchased these shoes trying to venture out into my style and I instantaneously fell in love with them! Today I spilt bleach on them, sadly, but I love them so much I don't even care going out buying another pair; they are that special to me, and they’re CHEAP!!! In the past I was a Jordan person (and I still am) but with a shoe that cost less than 1/3 of the shoes that I use to purchase I can purchase 2 or 3 at a time and still have money in my pocket. I LOVE 'EM!

Not perfect, but a good option.
It's not the most comfortable or best looking shoe you could find, but as far as something to throw on when you just want to run out to the corner market, it's great. My only recommendation would be to get cushiony insoles if you're planning on standing around in them. The soles are very thin and flat so they don't offer much comfort.

 |  | I am a F.T. bar tender and am on my feet all night standing, walking and sometimes running! I work hard! I have had the same work shoes that I LOVE for about 10 years! I found your site through my daughter and found a pair of what I thought would be good work shoes. I saved my tips and months later made the order. I was ambivalent about spending so much money on SHOES but decided to just do it! They arrived yesterday morning! I wore them last night for the first time forgetting to bring a back up pair in case they hurt (new shoes and all). Well, I'm just sooooo happy to say that I LOVE them! My feet were just fine – ALL NIGHT! They were like wearing slippers w/ arch support. This morning I put my poor old tired out work shoes in the trash with no regrets! Your staff was SO kind and helpful over the phone and the promptness of delivery was amazing! Thank you so much! I'm getting my outfit ready for tonight and look forward to sporting my new Nato shoes! Consequently, I am now an internet shoe shopper! GO ZAPPOS! LOVE-LOVE-LOVE YOU!!!
