Zappos is great! Everything was just as expected. They even sent my shoes overnight for no extra charge!

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.

Reviewer: Paul S from Central California
Overall:5 stars   Comfort:4 stars   Look:5 stars

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.

I love this shoe. It is so cool, it is good looking, feels good and skates well. Not many kids at my school own these but they are cool. You should buy these as well!

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.

Comfortable (though not much arch support-they feel similar to Converse All Stars). They have a nice, simple look-I’ve received a number of compliments on them.

White Vans - I love these shoes, they are ultra comfy and the TRUE WHITE is a staple for the summer. The cost is very reasonable; HOWEVER, it seems that Zappos has a better quality of shoe than Vans.com. I noticed that the Pairs you purchase from Vans.com the sole of those shoes are thinner and they look like variants. Zappos is THE PLACE to purchase alllll your Vans shoes!!!!

Can't beat Vans or Zappos - I knew before I even ordered this shoe that it would be just what I wanted. My son wears Vans and he had been trying to get this black on black classic shoe at a store in our area, but they never had his size. I found them on Zappos, ordered them, and had them the very next day. They fit just like the other Vans Classics he has - true to size and he loves them. I am not sure about the arch support, since he has never mentioned it, but has never complained, so I listed it as moderate.

Thank you, thank you! I'm thinking the Zappos customer service team must be made up of magical wizards, and I am getting spoiled! I called yesterday to exchange sneakers for a larger size, and late last night ordered some girly shoes, and this morning BOTH the sneakers and the shoes were at my door! I am stunned! Today I called a different place to order a specialty item (after checking Zappos site for something similar first, of course) and there is just no comparison whatsoever. Now I must wait at least a week for my order from this other place, and on top of that, pay ten bucks shipping! See, I am spoiled by Zappos spectacular customer service. Thank you so much! Julie M.
