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.
Brands I'd also recommend: any shoe with this sole works awsome (vans makes a few)

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!
Brands I'd also recommend: Anything by Vans! VANS ROCK!

"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.

These shoes make me feel like a rock star! Pure comfort, great look. I love everything about them. When I see other people wearing them, I give them the nod of approval, acknowledging they are as cool as me. I love my Vans!

Vans still rule! I'm 38 years old and I used to wear Vans throughout junior high and high school. I love the classic simplicity of the style and they are so light I hardly notice I'm wearing them at all. The only complaint I have is that the quality of construction is not up to the same standards as perhaps a decade or two ago. My Vans are starting to peel apart where the white rubber surround meets the canvas, right where my toes flex. I noticed that Vans are made in China now. Other than that the shoes are the same and still worth the money. I highly recommend these shoes.

Comfortable, good looking shoe - A very comfortable shoe that has looked good for decades and still does. One of the classics. I cannot praise this shoe high enough. I give 5 stars on ever aspect except for size. I found this shoe to be at least a full size smaller than other shoes.
Brands I'd also recommend: Most Vans shoes are extremely confortable.

I don't think I'd buy another pair like them again. I was looking for a shoe that was lightweight. The main problem I find with them is they are not as flexible as I'd like.

Why go anywhere else? Zappos was the only place that I could find this shoe in stock! Shipping blew my mind it was so fast! It was so worth buying with Zappos, as I got the most comfortable shoes ever with friendly and lightning fast service! If you are looking to buy shoes from a online retailer, look no further!
