Customer Reviews Vans Authentic

Vans's Best - My husband has worn this shoe for over 25 years now. This is his only causal shoe he prefers to wear.

These shoes make me feel like a rock star! Pure comfort, great look. I love everything about them. When I see other people wearing them, I give them the nod of approval, acknowledging they are as cool as me. I love my Vans!

Attention all bikers - Anyone who rides with platform pedals need look no further that the Authentic Vans shoes. The flat platform of the shoe combined with the sticky rubber that incorporates a unique pattern that is perfect for any platform pedal.

Great deck shoes. These are some of the greatest deck shoes I've owned. -Even for wet things... like sailboats!

Good!

First time I purchased shoes from Zappos. I did try on the shoe in a DSW but they did not have them in white so I knew what size to order. Delivery was quick and the process was painless.

I love Vans but being a girl and having big feet I couldn't find my size in stores. It was just impossible but now I wear them all the time and my feet love them.

I love these sneakers. They are such a classic. I can wear them with just about anything. I like the off-white -- not so glaring. But I like them so much, I wouldn't mind having the true white too.

I bought these shoes around two weeks ago and the footpad is already falling apart. Granted I was wearing them barefoot so be warned about that! This may not happen with socks, because there will be less friction pulling at the single layer of fabric between your foot and the sole.

Very basic, cool looking sneaker. My son loves them. Not much support although they are fine (he's really hard on shoes).

I was happy to find these in my size 12W. They are not as supportive as my flat feet with bunions need but I can fit my orthotic insert into it because of the larger size available.

My first pair of Vans and I'm not disappointed! Very comfortable and runs true to size. Very classic look and could wear them all day right out of the box. :)

According to my 17 year old son: They're awesome. Not really any arch support (but he ripped out the non-removable insole and uses Super Feet in them for more support). But he doesn't care because "they're stylin'."

This is a great shoe and I would recommend it for anyone, but after skating in them for not even two hours the side started tearing from kick flips and even plain old ollies. They also don't have any arch support. Overall not the best shoe for skating but they are really grippy on the upside.

I purchased these shoes as my default black sneaker with jeans. I enjoyed them and would definitely recommend them again, if the price is competitive. My only critical point is that the shoes were less durable than I expected. They only lasted me about 11 months with casual wear.

Nowhere near the padding I was used to with my old shoes. It hurt to walk much with them at fist, but it's getting better. I fault myself for not expecting that - the shoes are what they say they are.

Vans always look great - however for a teenage boy, do not expect them to last much beyond 3-4 months.

I had buy these in 15 even though I'm really a 14 triple wide. But they fit. I like that they are the most minimalistic shoe one can buy. In 15 they are, obviously, very long so the dimensions are more exaggerated than the picture. They look much flatter and longer. That's life with big feet, though.

While a bit lighter construction than expected, these shoes feel very good. A long and narrow foot seems hard to fit, but Vans has a last which works very well. I am a happy camper again who no longer has to wear heavy boots.

Core Classics - Delivery time was right on the money. The shoes look great but comparing them to my other Vans, they seem a little larger and wider than those of the same size.

Pretty darn cool - These are nice canvas shoes. I got them from the Vans website (not Zappos) and I like 'em a lot. I got them because they are the closest you can get to owning the shoes The Ramones wore when they first started. Except theirs' were mens Keds (Keds doesn't make them for men anymore). My only problem with 'em is the canvas is off-white, but looks pretty cool the dirtier they get.

Great but came with a smudge......... Overall a great fitting / looking shoe. A classic casual that reminds you of being 13. An unremovable black smudge aside, great shoe...

Very Nice! These shoes are pretty comfortable.I have a pair of Navy Vans slip ons and I alternate them with these. These shoes are so comfy that you dont need to wear socks though they do start to smell a bit in the summers.

Van's are great! My son loves the simplicity of Van's Classic deck shoe. He's been wearing them since he was 6 months old. Although it's a good idea to purchase extra padding for that extra cushiony feel. Also, these Van's come in extra large (hard-to-find sizes).
