I love these shoes as a regular ked does not fit me at this time, they allow me to have a little white shoe at a decent price and they are comfortable.

Love em! I'm not a skateboarder, nor have I ever worn skateboarding shoes, but for some reason I've always been attracted to Vans Authentics. Well I finally got a pair and I must say, they're awesome! Very comfy, the canvas seems rugged, and again I've always loved the look of them. Keep in mind these are sneakers, they are flat and do not have good support. If you need something athletic or if you're going to be on your feet for a whole day then I would suggest you look elsewhere. If you're like me and just want something casual for bumming around in than these are perfect.

Best shoes Ive ever bought. I get compliments all the time about them. Zappos always has the best selection of shoes in my size, which is a hard thing to do. They felt amazing when I first put them on and now that Im breaking them in they feel even better. Kudos to Vans for making awesome shoes and to Zappos for always having the best selection. I dont shop anywhere else!

The red Vans are the best of all Vans. I like to thank vip.zappos for their loyal support on next day air, with my exchange-return of a smaller size. My boyfriend looks fly in them.

Simply put, this is my favorite pair of shoes ever. They are great for skating or wearing out on the town. They are easy to wear with pants or shorts and just as comfortable as they are cheap! Get them or you are bluffing hard.

These are the best shoes I've had in a long time, they look good with the type of clothes and the way I dress, and when I go out I get a lot of compliments about them so I would say if you are thinking about them you can't go wrong with these shoes and they are mega comfortable!

I bought these in navy, though it is not a traditional navy color it is what the picture shows. They are for my husband, who says they are comfortable. I love the traditional style.

I love, love, love Zappos! I always get my items within 48 hours (usually less) and the shipping is free both ways. My Vans were exactly like the ones in the Vans store but I didn't have to leave my house and literally had my shoes within 24 hours. Thank you Zappos!

My son has to wear an all-white sneaker at his private school, so this shoe meets the criteria. As great as the shoe is though, Zappos is the greatest!

Fits true to size, but once broke in, it stretches out a little longer. Recommend getting half size smaller. Looks Great with anything.

I love my red vans! These are cute shoes to wear when just hanging out. I would not work out in them as there is not enough support. These are nostalgic and fun!

Overall the shoe looks great and comfort, but if your looking for a true gray color shoe this is not the one and in some of the lighting the shoe tends to look purple.

These are my fourth pair of Vans. I've only had the slip-on style until now and I have to admit these are my new favorite shoes to wear with anything. They were slightly rough on my upper foot around the top lining at first (the slip-ons are cushioned) but that irritation went away after about a week. The color is true to the online images of the shoes. I definitely plan on picking up another pair once some fresh colors become available. And as always, you can't beat that free Zappos shipping.
