Great sneakers - my 12 year old loved them - so comfortable. At first they rubbed her on the back of her heel because she didn\'t wear socks but once she did - they were ok. Wears them everyday.

Fast shipping and great service!\r\nI wear a size 7 (womens) but Van\'s considered the size a youth/adult. The size and style I want I couldn\'t find in retail stores so thank you Zappos for having my style and size.

Great shoe - These shoes are a great addition to my son's wardrobe. The color makes them very universal. This is his first pair of Vans, so I am curious to see how they hold up over the summer.

Low-cost, quality option - I bought these shoes in solid black for work. They seem like they will last a while, and I am fine wearing them for hours waiting tables. The only thing I can think of is they might look stained/dirty if I drop something on the shoe due to the canvas material. I like that they're unisex. Might want to get a half size smaller if you are using the women’s size recommendations.

Just what I wanted - I had to order the Youth size to fit a women's 7 1/2 using the conversion chart. The shoes look great and are comfortable, but I probably could have gone 1/2 smaller. Vans are a classic... I will be enjoying these shoes for years to come.

Awesome - These are my first vans authentic core classics and I must say they are awesome. So comfortable and true to size. Good price too! This will not be my last pair. Also, first, I ordered a pair from the actual Vans site and they sent me the wrong ones. (After about a week and a half of waiting for the shipment) so I had to return them. What a process! So this time I made sure to buy these from Zappos. They arrived to my door the very next day and they were the right ones! They fit perfectly and guess what! They were cheaper. Over and over again I have tried to "branch out" and order from other sites online, but I just keep coming back to Zappos. It truly is amazing. I work in the shipping business and even I don’t know how they do it! Keep up the good work Zappos; you have made a loyal customer out of me!

Vans Authentic Core Classics - I love these shoes--my first pair of Vans (after waiting forever) and first order from Zappos (they upgraded the order to overnight delivery for free!). These shoes are pretty comfortable, a lot of arch support-they give you about an inch lift. The look is great for someone that wants a simple shoe to wear with whatever. THANK YOU ZAPPOS

Travis - These shoes are flexible, lightweight, and grippy, (I think they're the grippiest), and they're the original VANS Authentics, the best, I think!!!!! :)

Vans Rock! My first pair of vans I got I was a little worried they wouldn't fit I'm usually around 5, 5.5, or 6, it depends on the shoe. So I went with a 5.5 and they fit perfectly! I'm going to order my second pair soon and I can't wait. Vans are comfortable, easy to slip on, and have a great look! I recommend this to anyone who wants a skater shoe that looks cool and feels great!

Perfect - Everything I had hoped it would be. They don't call it a "Core Classic" for nothing.

Granddaughter loves the shoes!! My granddaughter is 18 years old and has looked everywhere for Van's Core Classic tennis shoes in her size. We checked every shoe store in our area. We even searched online and could not find any in her size - not even from the Van website. Then I remembered that in the past I had ordered shoes from Zappos. I went to your website and sure enough we found exactly what she wanted. She was absolutely thrilled!! I also want to thank you for such immediate deliver - she had wanted the shoes for the weekend and was so happy to receive them the very next day! Thanks again for such a great selection and service!! Sharon Matthews

Super comfy classic summer sneakers - I needed summer sneakers I could wear with shorts and dresses and high-top Converse weren't cutting it. I decided to branch out with Vans, and I'm really happy with my decision. The thick sole means you can walk around for a while without your feet hurting. And, they make your feet look really tiny--always a plus. About the sizing, I would recommend sizing down a full size, as they're meant to be close-fitting shoes. I normally wear a 7 and I bought the kid's 4.5. Also, the only problem you'll have breaking these in is the heel part can get a little painful. All you need to do is wear them with thick-ish socks and you'll be alright.

Retro Revisited - Back in the day when the choice of tenny shoes was, PF Flyers, & Keds, (yes I'm dating myself) a new kid came to town. VANS, all the kids wanted 'em; I got mine by-way of used hand-me-downs. Loved 'em then. Love 'em now! Only this time brand spankin' new.

My First Vans - I finally bought my first pair of Vans and am very pleased with them. I love my Converse low Chuck Taylors, but find them a little on the narrow side. Fortunately, the Vans are a bit wider and more comfortable. Not as cushy as a running shoe, but pretty good for a plain, low-profile shoe. I'd definitely buy another pair!
