My daughter loves these shoes. We have been Vans fans for several years. Just remember to order a size down as the Vans run a whole size (sometimes 1.5 times) big.

Loved the shoes, fit was excellent and as advertised. Inside liner did not last long, starting falling apart after a month. Probably not the best shoe for heavy wear.

My daughters love these shoes. They are comfortably cushioned and have enough lace holes to keep them snug as they are wearing them.

My daughter wears these to school every day since they need to wear black/brown shoes as part of the school uniforms. She loves them, says they are very comfortable. This is our second pair; the last ones made it through a whole school year, unlike the Keds that fell apart quickly and have no arch support!
