Classic vans - These shoes uphold typical Vans quality, with a unique yet stylish design. They are simple and comfortable. They are made for those who enjoy classic (old school) style with new exterior patterns

Simple skating/sailing classic!!! Totally sweet. I really just bought them because they were special edition ones with the Descendents logo all over them ... but I don't regret it a bit. No arch support, but nothing a little insole can't help. Perfect fit, light but sturdy. Woooooo Vans! Let me also say that the laces are of a notably appropriate length (not too long or too short).
Brands I'd also recommend: vans slip-ons

Just like I remember them. These old school Vans fit great right out of the box. A rugged and durable shoe. They will last you a long time. Be sure and wash them in cold water only, and then let them air dry. Otherwise the canvas material may be discolored by the rubber sole of the shoe. These are really awesome shoes man.
Brands I'd also recommend: Converse - Chuck Taylor - AllStar

These shoes are super comfortable, though the size 6.5 is just a little bit big on my foot. If you run between a 6 and a 6.5 like I do I would opt for the lower if at all possible. I went with the 6.5 because the 6 was out of stock but I don't regret it one bit.

Good Stuff - These shoes are the definition of classic. They are plain but still comfortable. For this price you should buy one of each color. They can be worn anywhere with anything. Simply beautiful.

If you like snug fit - Room for only very lightweight sock. Narrow across toe. Perhaps 1/2 size larger would fit better. Nice looking shoe.

Flakey - The material inside the shoe at the toe started to peel off (came unglued?) on the 2nd day I wore the shoe. I really wish Zappos would give me a new replacement shoe, cuz I KNOW it was just that shoe. I've had Vans all my life and never remember that happening - At least not so quickly.

Casual Comfort and Style - Have been getting a ton of compliments on these shoes. The brown color goes with pretty much everything, from shorts to jeans and khakis. I can even get away with wearing them to work.

Arch support - It may look good and stuff like that, but the support isn't exactly what I was pining for. I was hoping to get shoes that had an arch support, but they didn't. So if you wanna trust a complete stranger and stuff, buy insoles or arch supports with these shoes.
Brands I'd also recommend: a shoe that looks good

Great deal, not so great quality - The shoes are a pretty good deal. Great comfort, easy to rock without socks, but the quality has appeared to decline since the good ol’ days. The rubber on the heel has already begun to disconnect from the shoes. Other than that, no complaints.

Classic, as always - These and Chucks will rock on for another 20 years. These are great shoes, takes a little while to properly break in, but then they're golden.
Brands I'd also recommend: also, the TNTs are a good shoe by vans

Always a good choice - I've worn Authentics at one time or another for the last 15 years or so. They're always comfortable. They don't provide a whole lot of support, and they don't last so very long, but I still love 'em and they're still pretty cheap (they cost like $20 back in the day...)

For adults too - I know the kids where these, but when I wanted a pair "sneakers" I decided to order these in brown (more adult looking?) They were comfortable from the start and they look good with casual slacks.

Well fit, well made, and well designed. The shoe is very good. It fits exactly to my liking and I don't think I’m going to go with any other shoe for a while.
