Vans Rata Vulc SKU: #7608741

These are super lightweight and flexible, and feel more like a sandal or a slipper than a sneaker. You barely feel them when they’re on. I wouldn’t recommend them for long walks or skateboarding, but these are probably my favorite pair of Vans that I’ve ever owned! They’re awesome, and look great with jeans. I plan on getting multiple colors.

I recently purchased a pair of Vans Rata Vulc shoes from Zappos for my son. The shoes are always great along with their service and shipping. Zappos is the quickest company on the internet in getting your order out in just one day. Even when I request UPS ground, Zappos somehow manages to get it shipped overnight with no additional cost to me. I am totally impressed with their service.

Great shoes. Got two pairs. Tan and Black. After wearing the shoes for about a week maybe two, the hemp fabric begins to form to your foot. Love em.

Casual khaki-cloth, low-cut shoe. It's very attractive to wear with shorts or swimwear, especially if you're looking to avoid the white sneaker look.

I found these sneakers at Urban Outfitters in black and loved them, so I was happy to find the khaki at Zappos! These are hemp versions of old school Keds. I wear these all summer long!

These shoes are perfect. I was looking for a light comfortable shoe and the Rata did not disappoint. They form to your feet and everything about it feels so much more natural than any other shoe. The perfect relaxed shoe to cruise around in during the summer. I highly suggest this shoe.

I bought these for my son. He picked them out. He loves them, but wishes Vans came in wides. They were narrow to start. He has stretched them out a bit, so they are not uncomfortable. But Vans in wide widths would be great, especially because Vans are the only shoes he'll wear...even in Chicago snowstorms!

Would definitely buy from Zappos again! Love the shoes, fast and free shipping. I couldn't ask for more.

Cool shoe, looks great with jeans or shorts. When they say "beach" I think they mean it. I've been wearing mine every day and not as a beach shoe and they are slowly dying already. It's been about a month. So yeah, buy them, they're cheap, look great but just don't wear them every day.

These shoes are awesome! My boyfriend loves them. They look really good with everything. I wasn't sure what type of shoes to get him, but these were obviously the best ones. They are good for dress up, or dress down.

I bought these for my son, he loves them... California surf look, kind of a cross between a shoe and a slipper.

These shoes are classic, comfortable boat shoes. Nice, easy going, perfect for the short walk to the grocery store on Sunday afternoon, or a low key evening out at a dive bar. Not much to the structure of them (don't expect arch support) but just a nice, simple, straightforward comfortable shoe that breathes well and adds to an easy going style with a little prep thrown in.

This shoe is not comfortable at all. I don't see how come the average is 5 stars.

My daughter has a size 13 medium foot and shoes are so hard for her to find, but she loves these Vans! They are super comfortable and can be worn everyday for school, they seem to go with everything! Also by purchasing the hemp fabric I am going green by using a sustainably forested plant.

Comfortable. Stylish. Quite possibly the greatest shoes in the history of shoes.

These offer nice versatility, got them in khaki. Very lightweight, a tad lower around the ankles than the picture leads on. Soft fabric has it's ups and downs as I like to keep shoes laced and slide my foot in but these require some finger assistance to get them on. The stitching on the front of the shoe sits right in the nook where my big toenail ends and the skin begins which bugs me sometimes and I'd say I have pretty average toes so this may be something to keep in mind if you too have average toes that don't like stitching hanging out in them. All in all they're worth the price.

Solid construction, looks great, very comfortable... until you start walking in it. Often makes my feet hurt walking back and forth to class due to lack of arch support and thinness of the soles. Still glad I have the shoe though!
