    Purchased the black pair, really nice low key shoes with a classic look and feel that you can expect from Vans. I would completely recommend these! Once they're worn in, they feel so good. Thank you Zappos!

    I got these shoes for my nephew for Christmas and he loves them. I've been getting him Vans for a few years and I'm impressed on how well these shoes take a beating. Thanks for great service and prompt delivery. I love Zappos!

    Zappos is cool. I ordered my daughter's shoes on Monday, the shoes showed up on Tuesday and she loved them. I cannot say enough, too bad they do not carry more Etnies.

    These shoes are just what my son wanted. He has large feet and it is hard to find shoes that fit, but these do. They fit just like we were told they would. Thank you!

    This is the 3rd pair I've purchased for my grandson. It's hard to find shoes in size 15 that he'll actually wear! There's not much arch support so I bought inserts which made them more comfy when standing long hours at work.

    These shoes have gotten me quite a few comments and looks from people. They have that classic cool factor, they feel comfortable for the most part, and seemed to have more cushioning than the Converse I tried before.

    These are the perfect shoes. For me, they require no break in time; they have a thick, comfortable sole. I work in a restaurant and I don't slide around in the kitchen - these are pretty sturdy. I think they go with everything. They might run a little big for some because of the unisex size.

    I've been wearing these shoes for performing (professional musician/drummer) for more than 10 years. I buy a couple of pairs every few years and they handle my rigorous playing and touring schedule! I love these shoes. Zappos' service rocks!

    These are great shoes. I love the classic style of these shoes with more cushioning than the original. They do take a little breaking in especially in the heal area. These are highly recommend.

    My son likes this shoe. We would've liked a 12-1/2, initially, but his feet apparently have grown since we bought these a couple months ago (scary!). He likes them very much -- this brand in particular -- because the arch support is minimal. With his flat feet, they're perfect! Thanks!

    I'm really happy with these shoes because they finally are making them in my size, 16. These are just a simple skate style shoe. They took a few days to get used to as they rubbed a raw spot on my ankle. But now I love 'em.

    My son wears a size 15 shoe, so Zappos is the only place he can find shoes. He loves Vans and its great that you have them in the bigger sizes, they always fit and it is easy and convenient to get them with the over night shipping, as I am a VIP customer. Great shoe, fits him well. He can be stylish even tho he needs a bigger size.
