Fit seems okay. Only lasted about 6 months so factor that in. Also, the inside of the shoes started to fall apart very quickly. Within a couple months of wearing them, some sort of adhesive they used on the inside started to fall apart and form little balls that I had to shake out every few hours. Weird and unpleasant. Love the look but doubt I will buy Vans again.

I don’t like how these fit around the heel. No padding at all, and causes no-show socks to constantly slip down your heel.

Unfortunately had to refund because it's not true to size, they run small. Next time I have to choose a size Up from regular show size.

I really liked these shoes. My one issue though was that you can’t wear regular low cut socks without them looking funny and seeing a lot of the sock. I wanted these as an everyday go to shoe so having to wear no show socks or no socks anytime I wore these was a deal for me.

So disappointed. I love the look of the Vans sneakers and I was hoping the medium width would fit, but not so especially if you have bunions!
I wish Vans would make them in wide width they were exactly what I have been looking for. Sadly, I am returning them.

I have been buying Vans Grey Lo Pro for years. Apparently they are discontinued so I bought these instead. They are MUCH heavier, have a wide bottom rubber part and aren't near as great as the Lo Pro. Please bring the Lo Pro back.

Way too big. I normally wear a size 11.5, and with these I probably should have ordered a 10. Tongue is tiny and so low -- lower than any other shoe I've ever worn -- that you can only wear ultra low socks, more like women's flat liners. Comfort-wise the shoe is basic. Compliments for style.

For an inexpensive tennie this is a great pick! True fit and cute style.

I have been ordering 11.5 for years yet my latest shoes ordered are 1/2 size smaller ! They must have changed the mold

Overall, I like the simple, classic look of these shoes. But, they're HEAVY! I mean, clonkers really. And unfortunately, they're not terribly cushioned. I'm often standing around waiting for my kids' games to start and I life to walk around when I have time, but not with these shoes. These are strictly for go there, hang and come back" activities. If I know I'll be walking, I have to wear something more comfortable.

I like them but fit a little big. Needed some tennis shoes to kick around in.

The only issue was 1 shoe had 4 eyelets and the other had 5. The way my daughter does her laces, she needed 5. Her last Vans had 5.

Great shoe - but color & size are off. My son picked these out for school and he wears Vans all the time. He picked Navy, but when they arrived, it was more of a light blue (just a shade darker than a powder blue) and they were a bit tight. He thought maybe I ordered a woman's shoe - but it is labeled unisex.

These shoes
felt very stiff and uncomfortable even when I ordered a size up to ensure they wouldn’t be too tight of a fit.

Cute and almost comfortable - but the seam across the end of the laces (where the tongue starts) dug into the top of my (slightly wide) foot. It's a shame, because the toe box actually is wide enough, the seam just isn't. Returning.

Fit was fine and surprisingly comfortable - what looks to be a flat sneaker has decent cushioning in the footbed.
Weirdly my pair came with one shoe lace. Not sure how to request the second one be sent.

Great style, but really uncomfortable with high arches and wide feet. May have been more comfortable a size up, but the thick soles are already a little blocky and I was afraid they'd look clownish on my feet.
Stylish, but not for me due to the shape and needs of my feet.
