Customer Reviews Vans Authentic

I usually wear an 8 1/2. I ordered a 9, but it was TOO SMALL.

My son has only had these for two weeks and they already tore when he was tying them.

Pulled laces tight to tie and eyelet tore. Would not recommend!

I did not receive this order.

Spot on the shoe - had to return

It feels really small, i have the same size in a different color and it fits me really well, but this one felt like 1 size smaller

I've been wearing these Vans for 50 years +. All part of my surfing culture since the early 60's...why change now.

had to send them back. have you received them?????

Nothing personal, I guess I'm just not a Vans' customer, reminded me of the inexpensive sneakers they used to sell at the discount stores for $1.99 when I was a kid.

Bring a brand new pair of shoes but I realized what they sent me where use pears and I could tell because it had an LPN label on it

I have worn Authentics for over 25 years, and they hadn’t changed in that time. They’ve always been a simple cotton canvas sneaker with a cotton drill lining. When I opened this pair, I was amazed to find that both the upper and the lining felt like a cheap synthetic material. I contacted Vans customer service and was informed that the upper and lining are now made from “cotton, polyester, or other plastic.” Gross! Plastic shoes smell awful and persist in landfills for hundreds of years. Too bad, these were nice simple cotton shoes, but now they’re cheap plastic fashion wear.

These were the most uncomfortable sneakers I have ever owned. I tried arch supports to see if that would help and it did not.

After 1500 decent reviews I thought I’d take a chance. So very unsupportive and uncomfortable. I don’t know how people wear these.

I have never had shoes fall apart on me so fast before. I usually get a good 2 years out of shoes and the only reason I get rid of them is that the rubber on the bottom is too worn out. These shoes are completely falling apart all over. I love Vans, but these shoes have a been a complete disapointment and waste of money.

I have ordered two of the same shoe and I'm sad to report that BOTH in less than a week are coming apart. The horizontal white band is separating from the sole of the shoe at the heel. Very disappointing as I love the fit and style of the shoe but it's literally coming apart after very limited wear and on TWO different shoes.

These must be knock offs. we ordered these in May, holes opened at the top of the big toe by September, no, not worn every day. After one washing the seams came away from the rubber sides. Really bad quality, how can they possibly be "authentic"? Vans need more quality control over their chinese fabricators.

Very uncomfortable. Cheaply made crap. Not like Vans Atwood. No lining. No padding on tongue or ankle. No cushion. Just canvas. Avoid this model if you value your feet!

I was required to order these shoes for a work event. I did expedited shipping and they arrived on time, the day before I left for my trip. When I first opened the box, I thought the color looked a little weird, but didn't think anything of it since I had ordered online. When I got to my event and saw all of my coworkers shoes (the exact same Vans shoe in the exact same color) I did see that mine were a very different color. My order was correct and they apparently are the same color, but mine look like they were left out in the sun for months. They are faded and the grey almost looks purple/grey. I was the ONLY one with discolored shoes, and since several of my other coworkers also ordered from Zappos, I am very dissatisfied that I would be shipped such a faded, discolored, unacceptable pair of shoes. I am not happy with them and will not purchase from Zappos again, for fear that I will get another leftover, faded pair of shoes.
