Cute, but too narrow - Very attractive shoe. Disappointed in the width. Returning shoe thanks to Zappos’ great return policy. Love you Zappos.

Comfortable dress summer shoe - These were comfortable on first wearing. The low heel was nice to pair with a more dressy look.

Good shoe - This shoe looks good for work or social occasions. It is a little tight in the toe area.

Too wide - I wear a AA usually, but sometimes wear a AAA. I ordered the Narrow and they fit well around the toes, but were too wide in the heel - way too much strap in the back. I wish Easy Spirit made it in a slim. They seemed more comfortable than most shoes of this type.

Easy Spirit Tamsen - Size 6 WW - I wore this shoe for the first time yesterday (Fri 7/11/08) and I liked it overall. The size was good and the width was good, but the ankle strap on the right shoe is too loose and since there is no adjustment buckle, there is no way to tighten the strap. Not sure if the shoe is defective or just a slight difference in my feet. I may see if the shoe cobbler can fix it. Overall the shoes are comfortable - the loose strap is more of an annoyance.

Didn't work for me. I really liked the look of the shoe. But the heel strap is too big. The toe area fits fine but the strap slips off my heel when I walk. The elastic seems soo rigid, there is no stretch at all and it actually extends out past the end of the shoe. Also the color was supposed to be dark navy and it was closer to medium royal blue. I will be sending them back. Again your service is exceptional and this will not keep me from placing orders in the future.

Finally found the perfect shoes. My foot cast was removed just 2 weeks before my sons wedding and knew I couldn’t wear the high heels I had planned on. These were very comfortable and the pearl finish worked well with my formal dress. I love Zappos ... shipping back and forth was so easy.

E.S Tamsen - This is a very comfortable shoe. The leather is very soft and feels like it will be even softer after a few wearings. I purchased the gold leather. The color is not metallic, but a very neutral beige/gold. Not dressy, not totally casual. A perfect color to blend with any outfit. This one is a hit. I gave four stars b/c it's not the most exciting looking shoe on the market. Comfort overrides style here.

BMX and Trials riding shoe. If u ride bmx or a trials bike, and don't ride clipped-in, then u will love the traction u will get with these shoes. Get some mean caged pedals and put your vans covered foot on em and BOOM ! You will be glued to these. Boom ! Ha ha ha.

Absolutely the coolest old school vans... Always comfy, they get cooler as they age. Before Vans moved to heavy leather based athletic style shoes I would buy a pair of these every other year. Bar none the comfiest shoes for walking, skating, working--much better than Chucks. Maybe not the best support or performance, but soooo versatile.

VANS-best mens' canvas casual shoe I have been wearing these shoes since 1978 when I used to live only one block from the very first Vans retail store in Anaheim, CA. I have owned several styles, and I wish some would come back along with more colors. SUPER SHOES!

Great Shoes. This is the best shoe ever! It has the classic Vans look and the great waffle skate design on the bottom. The best skate shoe I've ever had! The only problem is, because it's canvas, it tears whenever you skate! (You have to bend your foot, so the canvas rubs up agains the griptape.) But if you don't skate, no problem! GET THESE NOW!

"Long time no see old friend" I was a teenager in San Fernando valley California in the 70's. The only shoe that kids wore were Vans. Before school started in the fall kids would have custom Vans made to match their clothes or would buy the latest color out. All types of kids wore Vans, from skete boarders, bike riders, surfers, low riders, valley girls, punk rockers to nerds. I left Caifornia, moved to the midwest and rarely saw Vans again. 25 years later the hottest shoes for my kids to get for school are Vans. I think I'll get the kids some Vans, and I'll get me a pair of Old Skools!

Comfortable customs - I began wearing Vans in the early 80's, I had the red and white "tropical" slip on style and loved them! Now I use the classic style for bowling shoes, custom painted, but, they would be more comfortable if the ankel area was padded like the slip-ons. I love the surface area of the toes, it allows for relly cool designs without much extra stitching to work around. VANS FOREVER!

Attention all bikers - Anyone who rides with platform pedals need look no further that the Authentic Vans shoes. The flat platform of the shoe combined with the sticky rubber that incorporates a unique pattern that is perfect for any platform pedal.
