I love my black Vans. I wish I could wear them every day, but they're not nice enough for my office. Nonetheless, they are one of my favorite pairs of shoes.

I ordered these for my neice and she loved them! The color was the exact shade of red she was looking for, and the fit was perfect!

Great shoes! They fit pretty nicely. The arch is pretty flat though. I'd still buy them again. The color selection is great.

This is the third pair of these shoes that I have purchased for my twenty year old son. He still insists on wearing the first pair that we bought three years ago. I would like to burn that pair, but he insists that they are more hip than ever. The new ones do appear to be especially bright red, but I think the old ones may have been that same color at one time!

Fast delivery. The shoes were perfect. The price was the same as the mall and I didn't have to brave the crowds !! Free shipping too.

These are perfect. I size them tight so the break in is a bit painful / stiff, but after they break in they're amazing.

The shoe is very nice, nice style, and very comfortable. I highly recommend this if you're a skater (I am) or if your just looking for a nice stroll around town.

Wonderful, light, stylish shoe. Great price as well. Buy these for my son...it's all he wears in college. Wears them for a year before they need replacing.

Bought these shoes as a Christmas gift for my husband. At first I ordered white then my husband was looking online and said he loved the grey ones. So I smiled and then quickly ran into the bedroom to call Zappos. They exchanged the shoe color for me and I got it the next day. This was my first time shopping at Zappos and I will definitely be back.

If you've been wearing Vans all your life and you order these with the expectation that they will be exactly the same as what you wore in high school, you will not be disappointing! That said, if you've never worn Vans, these are the ones you want for your first pair. Just remember, the same shoe is sold for men and women, just a size and a half smaller for women. As a bonus, ordering them from Zappos makes the purchase worry free. The customer service is unbeatable.

Absolutely love these. I am a woman and wear a woman's 10-10.5 I ordered a men's 8.5 because I like the width of men's shoes. The 8.5 proved to be too big and I exchanged for an 8. They are comfortable and versatile for many different looks. Just make sure you get no-show socks when ordering these Vans. Nike makes great ones.

The Pewter color Authentic Core Classics is another great shoe from Vans. Great price at this cost. They were a little stiff at first, but upon breaking them in, they are a great pair of shoes just like all my other Core Classics.

Best looking shoe with jeans, ever. My chucks never lasted as long as my Vans did. I go two years no problem, just wipe em down once a week. I went with navy because too many are rockin' the red ones right now. Plus Navy look killer with brown leather boot laces. Just put some cushion inserts if you plan on walking in these for more than a couple hours.

I'm very happy with this purchase. I needed 5 pairs of these for a wedding and they arrived quickly and with free shipping! They were in perfect condition, each one in it's own separate box, and they look great. Thank you!

Great stylish shoes. Both men and women wear them and they both look great in them. Great for everyday shoes or skate shoes.

These are great casual everyday shoes. Can be worn with jeans, shorts, skirts+tights, i.e. everything. I worried they'd be clunky, but the clean lines and simplistic design keep the look trim. The canvas in the toe is stiff when first worn, which made me think I might need a smaller size. Now they're broken in and true to size. Generally comfortable, but insoles might come in handy if you plan on wearing these on a long, full day or weekend.

I wear classic sneakers on weekends, holidays and vacations. I like having all the core classic colors for those days. The shoes feel just like they did when I first started wearing them in 1968.

These shoes are really nice. They are a little warm thanks to the canvas. Wouldn't recommend wearing them without socks. Your feet will definitely sweat a little. Fairly comfortable. Have been wearing them for a couple days now and really enjoy them. Great shoe for the price!

Really comfy casual shoes. Fine to beat up, skate around in or dress up with. Awesome style and really great price but with all Vans, not much support. Makes for great shoes without socks though.

I can't tell you how much I love these shoes. Not only are they stylish, they are comfortable too! With Vans and Converse, it is easy to look like a clown if they are even a little big. My suggestion is to go smaller. I wear 7.5 in womens, and I actually ended up buying a 6.5.

After going through several different shoes, and Zappos have a wonderful return policy, I finally settled on the Vans Authentics and couldn't be happier! I bought 2 pair several months ago and both are holding up strong! I will definitely be getting another pair when these finally wear out! Amazing!
