Blisters - These are really cute when you put them on. However after an hour of walking in them, I had blisters the size of nickels on the back of each foot and I was wearing socks too. This shoe seriously needs padding at the back. Also a bit on the rubber wore away and I literally only walked an hour.
I'd also recommend:

A classic you can't go wrong with - You can't go wrong with Vans. I wore them when I was a teen and recently decided to go back due to their simplicity. If you're a big guy, the padding is uncomfortable, so I had to buy an extra sole. Otherwise, I like them and am glad I made the purchase.

I haven’t worn these since... Love the look...not much support. They were a little bigger than I expected. Haven’t worn them since I was a kid, so I have to get used to them again.

I have always wanted a pair of these red Vans. I am a little disappointed in the fit. They fit a little tight across the top of my foot. I am hoping they will stretch with time. However, they still look good.

When I bought these, I expected them to have the same type of padded support around the ankle that the Slip-On Classics do. But they don't, and when I first got them, I rubbed a sore on my ankle. However, after breaking them in, they are fine.

Red baby! Ordering my Vans from Zappos could not be simpler... fast shipping and great return policy. The shoes fit great, true to size, not much arch support... it’s taking me a few times to get used to it. Looks awesome.

The color in the picture online looks turquoise, which is what I wanted, but it came in a smokey blue instead.

These shoes were so cute and the perfect aesthetic for my grungy daughter. We were heartbroken we ordered the wrong size and had to send them back because her face lit up when she opened the box. #sweepstakes

If you're coping with any foot issues whatsoever, these are not the sneakers for you. Loved the not chunky look, but no arch support at all. I'll keep looking.

Ordered a pair with 4 lace holes because I like that style better but received 5 lace hole shoes. Not a huge problem but I wouldn't have ordered them if I knew they weren't what I wanted.

The shoes are great. But like atmosphere grey is literally Beige it's not the color grey.

I've had a classic black pair of Vans for years. Love them!! So just ordered 3 more pair. New ones have no padded tongue or padding on collar like my old pair.

Ordered a 5.5. I liked the style, but the sizing was too small for me. I might size up and try again, but we'll see.

The tongue is canvas. The rest is leather. I wish the entire shoe was leather rather than cutting costs just on the tongue.

These are my go to shoes. I've worn them for 20-30 years. But this may be my last pair. The quality and fit are inconsistent at best and its gotten so they've become so uncomfortable and ill fitting that I can't justify buying them again.

Nice shoes but for less than half the price you can buy cheap knock offs with the same quality.

This would have been my second pair of Authentic Shoes. Had my first since 2015, wear them pretty much every day 6 months of the year (in WI) and they've held up great. This last year the insole finally wore out and I decided to replace them. They've changed, man. Thinner canvas, no cushion in the heal, and larger fit overall (I got the same size I had). Returned them.

These are my first pair of Vans and I like the look. My friends love them and always say they are comfortable. However, these pair are not comfortable and cut into the tops of my feet when I walk. Also, remarkably hard to slip on.

Love vans and this is my 4th pair and my first time with this color, but this particular pair has the stitching already coming apart.

I love the colors of this shoe but when I first put them on they make a loud popping noise like there is an air pocket in between the layers of the sole. May return.
