After wearing Era's and Old Schools for 20 years, I got a pair of authentics. They were the only thing in stock in the all black. After wearing the two other shoes and then the authentics, I can say without a doubt they are the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever worn. I made the mistake of getting these before going into a new job. My heels, my back, everything waist down is killing me. I am not an old man, i started wearing vans at 8 years old. I am Vans Family for life, but I will not be buying another pair of these shoes. I just might burn them or put them through a wood chipper out of spite.

The size was ok but the shoes are very uncomfortable. They are stiff and heavy and I cannot walk in them.

I'm sad they stopped making the authentic white low profile shoe. That is what I thought I was buying. Come to find out it's discontinued

Tongue on the right shoe wasn't properly sewn on and is falling off. Unfortunately I live in an area where I just can't go and exchange them.

I was very disappointed with the quality of these last vans I purchased. Two weeks later the soles started to come loose. One shoe was the top side of the soles and the second on the heel end. I couldn't believe it they started coming apart this quick.

All of the Vans shoes that I have purchased were a size 10.5 so I purchased a 10.5 for this shoe. It was very, very big, as if it was tagged incorrectly. Wasted shipping on this item.

The Authentic Lo Pro has been my go to for years. I ordered these thinking they were the same thing, but nope. These are a different model and I found out through a quick google search that Vans discontinued Lo Pro's. These Authentics are clunky and run much bigger. The sole was not glued down properly on the pair I received and both shoes make a horrible squeaking and popping noise with each step. Super disappointing and needless to say these will be returned ASAP.

I've been buying Vans for years and have 2 other pairs of Authentics that fit me well. These white ones (same exact size as my other 2 pairs) were incredibly tight and felt at least a half size too small. I know my feet didn't change lol and I even double checked the shoes to make sure I wasn't sent a smaller size by mistake. Ultimately I had to return them because they were so uncomfortable.

These are very uncomfortable. The seams are unsealed and gave me blisters after wearing for about an hour. The sole is strangely heavy making me feel awkward walking in them. Overall super disappointed with my first Vans purchase and will not be exploring other styles if you can't get a basic sneaker right.

Purchased for my husband. Fit was too narrow, no cushioning at back cut into ankle, too heavy. Would be nice if a wide width was available on your line of sneakers overall.

I bought an AUTHENTIC Vans shoes to my daughter that supposed to have 5 laces holes, but it came with only 4.
Because of that, the show escapes the foot, even if she ties it a lot.
