Perfect for the boy teen and one of the roomier styles of Vans if your kid has a wider foot. Lots of padding on the tongue too -- very comfortable.

Got these to wear around as a non-work shoe. Super comfortable, look great, and don't feel like they're ginormous on my feet.

I have been wearing Vans since I was seven years old. I am a 38 year old man now and have to say these modules are super comfortable and just as functional as ever. The leather tongue adds a nice touch and the laces are a perfect length. Not too long. Tie these kicks to your liking and then slip them on time and time again without having to re-tie.

My son wears these shoes everyday to school rain or shine and loves them. His wide foot makes it hard to find shoes, but these fit perfectly.

I'm a long time Vans fan. I wore them back in the 80's after Fast Times came out, and have had many pairs since. The Chukka Lows are cool addition to the Vans line. I had Chukka Boots back in 1990, and was glad to see the style come back, so when the lows came out too, I jumped at the chance try them out. The shoes are comfortable, and feel like a modern skate shoe without looking so clunky, like DC's of DS's do. It's nicely padded around the angle, but not overly so. The tongue is also padded, but not too much. My only complaint is that the tongue could be a little longer, it barely reaches the top lace. If you like fat skate shoe tongues, these aren't it. Still a good shoe, mine have held up well, I will probably get another pair when they are done. Where van's exceeds is in simple style. Almost every major shoe brand copies Vans' styles, but they don't come close.

Bought these for my college-age son and he loves them. Zappos service was as promised and no hiccups. First class operation!

These shoes are rad, they look sick and they're comfortable as hell. Not that durable for skating if you skate on the daily. I tore a hole in mine in about 2 weeks. Totally gonna get another pair and not skate them.

These shoes are extremely comfortable and fit great. I love the adjustable straps and the super cushy soles. And they go with my whole wardrobe! I\'m a teacher, so I was looking for something that would stand up to a day on my feet and are dressy enough to be professional yet open enough to keep me cool this Summer. I think I\'ve found them.

These shoes are just what the doctor ordered! I put them on the day I got them and have worn them just about every day since. They are comfy and stylish...a perfect combo.

This is a very good looking sandal & fits well, but runs a little large. I do wish the foot bed was all one piece as I feel the seams a little. Does not hurt, but a little distracting.

I have been buying Clarks sandals for over 10 years and love the fit. This year's model has a little less padding in the footbed, but is still very comfortable. The width is adjustable and it looks stylish on.

I am returning this - I ordered a narrow shoe. It is too wide for me, I cannot wear it, and I am returning it. It is attractive, and I had hoped that I could tighten the straps enough to make it practical to keep - but I can't.

Great alternative to sneakers - I bought these sandals so that I would have an alternative to wearing sneakers. I wear my baby when we go shopping, so I need a pair of shoes that allow me to carry the extra weight. The Rena are comfortable all day and very light. Best of all, both straps are adjustable, which comes in very handy if my feet get swollen by the end of the day.

I have been wearing a variety of Clarks sandals for years. These are fabulous !!! My foot is between a narrow and medium. Both straps are adjustable and the back strap has stretch elastic in it. I got the blue nubuck which also has some black. They are as comfortable as my bedroom slippers. Thanks, Zappos, you are the best.

Good shoe for your money - I have been wearing Clark's sandals for approximately three years now. They are a good made sandal with cushion and arch support.

Comfortable shoe! Adjusts easily for a perfect fit, especially if your feet swell throughout the day. For me, in a 6W this is a perfect fit in size, width, adjustment, and style. The footbed is very comfortable and my feet do not tire out by the end of the day. However, I would have preferred the footbed to be all fabric, which cost the shoe a star.
