Customer Reviews Vans Authentic

These shoes are simple, versatile, and affordable. Nothing extraordinary as far as comfort goes, but they're not uncomfortable by any means. They're certainly not the most durable shoes in the world, though. Mine lasted me about a year before they started falling apart.

Use these at work every day, I work in the restaurant industry and they serve their purpose I go through a pair about once every 3 months or so because they tend to start falling apart so the build quality isn't top notch but for the price i'd say there great. They are not nonslips but do have decent grip and comfortable to wear for hours at a time.

I love the look of this shoe. I could not get the size zeroed in. I have a 12W foot. I couldnt get my foot in the 13M. Zappos lived up to their claim of no hassle free returns.

We love the look of these but they tend to me really heavy so my daughter tends to wear them only on days when she is not running around too much and does not like them for gym class.

This shoe looks as pictured. Don't think anyone mentioned how heavy this shoe was.

The only issue with this shoe is that it squeaks on some surfaces. Comfort of these types of shoes always seem to be less than a running shoe...but not too bad.

This is a stylish and classic shoe for men and women. As other reviews have stated, these shoes have no arch support, but if you're not going to be doing a lot of standing or walking and just want a stylish shoe, these are great. I had to go up a half size to get the right fit, and had to re-lace them because they were too tight over my high arches. Overall I'm happy with these shoes.

I love these shoes, I needed to retire my Converse so I wanted to give these a try. I am a true size 8. But was warned when you buying these to size down because they do run big and they do stretch out. Other than that they are great.

Great shoes! Exactly what I was looking for. Quick delivery and great prices.

Good shoe, but I thought that the it would be a darker blue.

These are good looking shoes that fit great and are comfortable. My only gripe is that the heel of the shoes feels like it is about to slip off, but it never does.

Love Vans, an old favorite, but I wish they would put memory foam in their shoes. Very durable but not the most comfortable. Zappos is the best! Always delivered quick and well packaged...thank you Zappos!

These shoes are the perfect summer complements for your feet. Great to wear sockless. However, be careful not to get these wet in the rain or anything because if they get soaked, they dry with brown spots around every seam that are very hard to get out. Great shoe otherwise.

Nice looking true-fitting shoes for casual wear. Impossible to keep white areas clean, but that is typical of the style. Glad I bought them.

I honestly love Vans because they are really stylish and almost everyone wears them. The only thing I don't like about them is they aren't that comfortable. If you don't wear the right socks, you'll get blisters on the back of your ankle. Another thing is they break really easily, I had a pair of the thin ones and they broke a lot sooner than expected. I had holes in both shoes. I would suggest getting the thick soles so they don't break as easy and they look good too.

Shoes look great and they fit nicely. Only issue I have is that they appear to show signs of wear after about two-three months of continued use. Though this should probably be expected. I would recommend these shoes considering the price.

Rad, man. The new pair is the same as they've always been. Classic. My only issue is that the fabric of the footbed tends to fold back / scrunch up around the toes. But maybe I should just wear socks sometimes.

Let me just say that these shoes are amazing!! So comfortable! Very stylish and go with anything. I think Vans are amazing, but these shoes came with a downside that upset me. One of the eyelets tore on the first day. I would completely recommend these, but they might rip.

These shoes look great but I just don't understand how so many people tolerate the complete lack of arch support with these and other stylish sneakers like Chuck Taylors (which are even more uncomfortable than these in my experience). These are perfect for summer BBQ gatherings, going to the beach, and hanging out but if our plans involve walking more than 0.5 mile on concrete then I have to switch to New Balances. Again, these are very stylish and I love wearing them for that purpose, I just wish they were a bit more comfortable for long walks.

My first day wearing these sneakers, I got blisters and my feet hurt. But after I broke them in, I haven't had any trouble. The canvas might be stiff at first, hence the need to break them in. I like the thick sole and can walk around in them all day. Fits snug but still true to size, so don't order down.

Everything is great about these shoes. Just wanted to let everyone know that the "white" is more of an off-white. Or manila.

These are my standard shoes. I wear them almost every day and re-buy them every 4-6 months. They are pretty comfy (although they always hurt for the first week until you break them in). The quality is variable, I have has a few pairs where the fabric inside the heel ripped right away, but my current pair is lasting great. That said - they are my favorites and I will continue to buy them!

I'll never buy a pair of Chuck Taylor's again. These are much better looking and are more comfortable by a factor of 10. Plus with the addition of the brown outdoor or even leather laces they can be dressed way up and made a legit substitute for boat shoes! The only reason I didn't give them 5 star is because the white sole seems to be easily scuffed but that is is easily corrected with a gum eraser. Overall a solid purchase.

They're like the old classic Vans you wore in grade school. Don't expect to be walking miles in these and not have your feet hurt. There's not much to them. I ended up putting in some Spenco inserts in them to make them a little more comfy. I usually just wear them to work; I m a desk jockey, so being on my feet while wearing these isn't an issue. Mainly bought them for the style.

Standard Vans shoe. Looks stylish and is comfortable. My only problem with these Vans is that they start wearing fairly quickly. Holes start to form on the edge of the shoes. Probably not the best shoe to walk in.
