This was a good shoe with a good fit, however it only survived my son\'s skateboarding for about 3 weeks. If you\'re buying it for looks and average wear, it should be fine. Not the best skate shoe.

These shoes are a great skate shoe. I pretty much skate nothing but vans. They are comfortable, thin, and grippy. The only bad thing is that the bottoms wear flat easily. But other than that this is a great shoe

Reviewer: Steven L from Las Vegas
Overall:2 stars   Comfort:1 stars   Look:5 stars

In my honest opinion, these shoes are terrible. First of all, props where props are due, they look great, but there is very little padding so it has very little support and my feet kept sliding around inside them a little, even though they were the right size. The worst thing by far was that when I went out with these shoes, one of the shoes dug a huge blister right in the back of my heel that hurt so much and made every step agonizing. I don't know what I'm going to do about this very painful blister.

Plain and simple. Great shoe absolutely love it. Slightly stain resistant. Very comfortable goes good with anything. My feet feel fine after an eight hour shift so I imagine they give good arch support.

Anew ERA for me - These are a cool shoe. I selected the gray suede shoe which is perfect with jeans. I saw others felt this shoe ran a bit small, so I ordered one half size larger than usual, and they fit perfectly. They look especially fine with black jeans and are really comfortable. I am going to order another pair with the next paycheck. I wear them every day!

Other brands recommended by reviewer: Sperry makes nice sneakers as well.

So far, no holes in the soles! My 11 yr old boy only wears skater shoes, but the last 2 pair of VOX that we bought from wonderful Zappos got holes in the soles within a month of wear. These VANS seem to have a much thicker sole and he loves them. So far, so good!

Great Shoes - Sick shoes. Nice super minimal design. They fit similarly to Vans slip-ons. I usually wear size 13, but these fit as a 12.

Great Fitting - Cool Look!!!! I can't say enough about Vans shoes, having purchased my first pair over 30 years ago. They always look good and wear great!!! I now wear Vans and Sperry's exclusively, depending on my mood or occasion. These shoes look great; they are cut a little lower than the "boarder" shoes, similar to slip-ons. Looking forward to using these this summer on the boat!!!!

Great Shoe - I've never owned a pair of vans before, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but these shoes are great. They're comfy, not clunky at all, and they're really cute! I'm glad I bought them!

Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked
Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked
Shoe Arch: No arch support

I feel like I'm back in junior high! I had forgotten, but Vans have no arch support and fit a tad more snuggly than other shoes. They also are a bit narrow, so someone with a wide foot might have difficulty. I wore them around the house for a day to decide whether to keep them because the right shoe felt almost a little too snug. I ended up keeping them, have worn them several times all day, and they are fine. If I wear too thin socks, the heel band area rubs my Achilles tendon a bit.

Turquoise Blue - I chose this shoe because Vans are classically comfortable and have bright and unique colors. It came with two sets of laces, one turquoise blue to match the base and one white. I find that I can wear it with a lot of different styles and am comfortable on my feet all day.

Van's Era Black and Tan - Black and tan is another cool color for Vans Era. Classic Van's are again the rage. They are super comfortable. I can wear a size or two larger than usual and still feel like they won't slip off. I like canvas retro sneakers for casual wear. They look great with jeans.

The Blue Checkers - These are some good shoes. They're pretty comfortable, as long as you aren't going on a hike; they're great for school though. I got the black ones with the "scuba blue" checkers, and they are a snazzy pair if I do say so myself. I got a lot of compliments on them. And, I have to say, Zappos is great! They send me shoes right away, and never send the wrong size/color!

Sadiyya's Review for Vans Era - The shoes are great! I’m sometimes disappointed that I can’t wear them when I’d like to because of the weather conditions in Chicago. But overall I love this brand and style of shoe. They fit very comfortably and come in many beautiful colors. I plan on buying more in the future on Zappos.com.

These are so comfortable that you won't even believe it. I run between size 9 1/2 and 10, and found a 9 1/2 to be a good fit, so if you are between sizes, I would order a half size down. They are very lightweight and feel great on! I got the black ones and with the contrast white stitching, they are cute and not boring at all.

Cute and Comfortable- these look even cuter on. You can even wear 'em with a skirt because they then come across kind of like an old-fashioned saddle shoe. Great with thin white socks. Of course, they are also a great functional skater shoe.

Leather front is well worth it! In comparison to my first pair of classic Vans, these were much sturdier and more durable. It took a few times wearing them until they were totally comfortable, yet overall well worth "breaking them in." The leather is protective, particularly when riding the VESPA!

I've been doing business with Zappos for several years now and it never ceases to amaze me. I'm in marketing for a bank and I only dream of developing a service culture like yours. If doing a fabulous job makes you happy, you should all be delirious! No one else on-line comes close to you. I'd buy a car from Zappos! Donna K.
