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!

These shoes are awesome! They look great with anything. They are comfortable, pretty cheap, are tough. I have 4 pairs and I love them! If you're iffy, buy them! You can't go wrong, especially with Zappos' free return shipping!

Ordered wrong size called customer service, they help to exchange for correct size. Zappos customer service is by far the best I have dealt with. Complete satisfaction. I am still telling friends what a great experience with Zappos.

Bought these Vans for my brother's birthday who lives in a different state. Since I had them mailed directly to their home, I haven't personally seen the shoes. But, on a recent call, I found out he was thrilled with the shoes and how they looked and felt when wearing them!

I have a size size 15 foot and relatively narrow feet so I got a size smaller at a Vans outlet and they fit and feel perfect from the size 15s I got last time, I also got a pair of size 14 core classics but they started hurting my feet after a while, so it depends on the type shoe and size for me but I love the look of these shoes a lot so I can order these from Zappos without worry.

These shoes are so great! I bought the red and the black and wear them almost every day I'm going to uni. Only thing, my foot starts to feel "flat" after a while of walking but its not unbearable. Zappos' service was excellent as always...

Pretty much just what I expected and just what I was looking for. I wanted a basic sneaker with minimal styling but I've got big feet and the regular Vans Authentic don't come in my size and I'm not a huge fan of Converse. Got them in gray and white and wore them most of the summer with anything casual. They're pretty comfortable with or without socks and go with almost anything. All around a very good shoe, and especially at this price.

These shoes are awesome! This is my first pair of Vans, and I will definitely be buying more. I was hesitant to buy them at first because I have gigantic feet (Size 14 wide) and was afraid they would look really awkward on my feet like Converse do. But I ended up getting them, obviously, and I love them. The black on black look is very slick. I highly recommend these shoes. They're cheap, and super comfortable. You won't regret it.

I love these shoes. They are super comfortable straight out of the box, and they mold to the shape of your feet more and more everyday. This is my third pair of the same style. They are classic black on black low top sneakers.
