Bought these for my brother, but I own about 6 pairs of these myself. The ultimate plimsoll, edgy skater feel plus casual cool and you can't get find a better shoe under 50 bucks (if you want to get away from that Converse Chuck Taylor look). Comfy soles, easy to slip, great colors/styles to choose from. A must buy!

Just received the blue ones in the mail. I absolutely love Vans. They are so comfortable. Zappos is the best site. I order them Sunday and received them today. Which is Tuesday. Thank you Zappos.

This is the 3rd time my son got these shoes, he likes to have several colors. He says they are comfortable and he skateboards better in them.

Though the Vans Authentics are certainly worthy of the praises given in many of these reviews, I'm surprised to find that the only person who bothered mentioning this model's attributes as a skate shoe was a mother of three. I guess people in California make a living out of looking like they might, at any moment, elect to shred the gnar while looking superbly hip. These shoes, having no padding to speak of, usually feel about a half size larger. While the ollie pad is prone to utter destruction, a little duct tape from the inside out and the nigh-indestructible vulcanized soles make this more than manageable. Take care of these puppies properly and you can skate these longer than almost any modern skate shoe.

Check out Frye. They make a mean cavalry boot.

These shoes are fresh, fashionable, and they give you a very good noticeable look! You want to make sure that you pick the right size just because they do not stretch. Overall they grow to be very comfortable after you've worn a couple times. Best of all they are very easy to clean by hand or using a washer. Make sure not to dry them; that may turn white part yellow.

Took a few days to break into, but now they are extremely comfortable. A great shoe for the hot Atlanta days.

I purchased this shoe for my daughter in exchange for an earlier purchase. She didn't like the color of my original choice so we exchanged it for this one. The process of exchange was very simple and easy. Just like they said it would be.

Cool shoes. I have worn this style and the similar slip on Vans since the early 1980's! They are really comfortable, and look great with jeans or shorts. They are quite durable, and the price cannot be beat, especially with Zappos amazing service!

Awesome shoes! The color creased/is a little lighter after about 15-20 miles of walking where my big toe bends.

I love my Vans! Very true to size and comfortable. These shoes are listed as Navy, which is what I was looking for, but they are actually a medium blue and not navy as described. I still kept them and love them, though!

Fantastic, durable, comfortable, and the best value going! Can't beat the quality. I have 3 active teens who skateboard and they all wear these daily. I used to drive an hour away to buy at the Van's store, but Zappos beats their price and has free shipping.

The Vans Authentic are a very old shoe, wore in even the 70's. But they are still quite stylish and comfortable. You can not go wrong here.

I bought these for my girlfriend. She really likes them. She says they are comfortable and match pretty much anything. They look best with shorts, but also go well with skinny jeans. Quality seems good even though she hasn't had them for too long.

As always, Zappos is amazing. Next day really means next day and thank goodness because these were for a birthday present. You can't go wrong with Vans and these are classic!
