Customer Reviews Vans Authentic

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.

Stylish shoe. A bit narrow for people with wider feet, like me, but it was still wearable (but maybe not for all day though).

Vans are never meant to have arch support but even though they were a little big (as to be expected with unisex) the feel great and look great

They look great. The shoes do feel a little bigger than my feet. I slid my feet into the shoes, but there’s still a little room on the back of heels. The shoes will feel loose even though they’re tight enough, I think it’s great though so I can just slip these on if I don’t feel like tying my shoes. Overall, great look red color is in season.

I love Vans!!

Stylish. My favorite kind of shoe!

It’s my staple shoe. I always keep a pair or two in my closet at all times, classic and timeless.

Love the style which is why I got 'em. I've been wanting all black with gum soles for a while. They're not the most comfortable but I guess I kind of expected that to an extent. First 9 or 10 times wearing them, they were pretty rough on my feet, particularly my pinky toe. But now that they're nicely broken in, I don't feel the same pain/discomfort. Now the main thing I notice is that they squeak quite a bit when I walk. Overall though, I'm happy with them. Cheers!

Yes. Just like the name and just like what everybody else that purchased these Vans say....these shoes are Classic. They are simple shoes. Not super flashy what so ever. But you know what they say.....sometimes the simple things in life are the best things in life.The only issue that I have with these shoes are that it seems that over the last couple of years they have not used enough or the propper adhesive where the rubber and canvas meet. Still though, that reason is not enough for me to not sport these legendary everyday shoes.

Just a good, everyday-shoe. I wouldn't recommend them if you are walking around for a while, such as visiting a theme park or at work, because there is virtually no cushion. They are very comfortable for casual where.

Having bought the Authentic Core Classics before I was disappointed to see that the collars were not padded like the last pair I had. Still a good shoe, but the extra support and comfort of the padded collars is something I will miss and will make me look for something different the next time I need shoes.

They're great shoes but not for the city or walking long distances.

Good quality shoe and a true to the Vans style. Be aware that these shoes are REALLY red - not a bad thing, but if you've got your monitor's brightness down you're in for a surprise when they arrive. Slightly narrow for the wider foot and not much arch support but they're lightweight and comfortable for normal wear and tear. Overall, a solid shoe.
