Customer Reviews Vans Authentic

A true classic with a small caveat with the sizing. I wear a size 12 in Sperry and Seavees. These were a little large when worn with thin no-show socks and had to be exchanged.

Love these shoes! Such a staple. I haven't purchased vans in some time and decided to give them a go again. Size is perfect, I am a 8.5, and the 8.5 was perfect. I did order these in white (with intention of them not being white for very long). Haven't washed them yet, but will give that a try.

The shoes are great but I felt them too small on my size .

Great sneaker. The Pro version is worth the extra few bucks for the replaceable foot-bed if you need more arch support, but these are just as comfortable otherwise. These run a wee bit short, but have a wide roomy toe box, so you can go true size for no socks/thin socks or one half size up for thick cushiony socks if you plan to sk8.

Vans sizing is bizarre. All my shoes are Men's 8/Women's 9. To get the same size with the Vans, I had to get Men's 7/Women's 8.5. But Zappos customer service was on point! They sent out the a new set and it was at my door in less than 3 days. The shoes are comfortable once you find the one that fits.

It's a classic. You know what you're getting.

Classic style. Love the black with rubber and gold eyelets.

Felt half a size too large, but otherwise love them

I have had a pair for 2 years. Time to get a new pair. The other ones were ok but not fresh. This time they ran a little large so got half size smaller and was fine. Love them and wear them all the time.

I bought these to wear on motorcycle trips on warmer days. I normally wear a women’s size 11, and these fit good length wise ( a little extra length beyond the big toe ). Width wise I feel for a woman’s foot they run slightly wide, my feet are slightly wide and these fit in width with a little extra room. I haven’t worn them yet, so I can’t speak much to comfort or durability. I also purchased Vans no show socks to wear with these and they are great, nice and thick and don’t show!

They were too big for me and I ordered an 11

Classics. Size was correct, and they are comfortable.

Too cute

My 19 y.o. daughter has been wearing these for years. When the white starts to look old and dirty, she gets a new pair. They still seem well made, stylish and comfortable.

I usually buy the eras but wanted to try out the authentication. They definitely fit a little bit larger so if you can go down a half a size I would. Sadly for me I wear a 14 so they don’t make half sizes that big. They are alright if I lace them tighter and after they break in and become more flexible they should be fine. Next time I purchase I do think I will go with the eras again unless something changes after these break in.

Nice classic pair of Vans. Easy to wear. Nice style. Made in the Domican Republic.

Great! Fits well

They looks great , but the price is to expensive for every day shoes

They feel a little too small and make my heels blister. Should have gone up a half size.

there's a reason VANS are classics! great style, wear well. great for women for whom Keds are too narrow.

Ended up returning my original order for a full size smaller than I usually wear. Other than that no issues and and happy with the shoes.

Vans are NOT walking shoes - I got some blisters from walking around all day in them. This wasn't a surprise to me, though, because their main draw is the style, and they are very stylish; they'll go well with any pair of pants or shorts.

nice shoe goes well with everything. just buy a half size smaller, it has a similer fit to converse just more wider.

Stylish shoes, good for casual wear at work or play (Depending on where you work of course). I own multiple pairs of Vans and have always praised their comfort, but this particular pair may need some breaking in...Something in or around the top shoelace hole thus far, is digging into my foot as I walk. It's not a constant, consistent kind of thing, but it's not a passing irritation either?

The shoe is just what I need—and expected. My foot is hard to fit, and this time around I also had to accommodate ankle and foot braces. Though the shoe is great, the customer service was outstanding. This is the third pair I ordered. The first did not fit length or width. The support person worked with me to find another candidate. Unfortunately, it was too short—and didn’t come bigger. So another support person worked with me and we found these Vans. Each return was free, and the replacements were sent expedited delivery. 5 stars for customer service! My first Zappo’s experience, but not my last.
