I love my Vans. Super cute and comfortable - greatest combo ever. I ordered mine a half size smaller than I usually wear and they fit perfectly. I buy all of my shoes from Zappos because you can't put a price on the highest quality customer service and convenience. Okay, maybe that's the greatest combo ever.

12 year old nephew who likes the "skater" look really likes these. He swapped out the white laces for bright blue ones to take the look a bit further and thinks they're pretty cool.

Shoes are comfortable. My sons have worn Vans to school for several years. One problem is the the lining of the shoes comes out, sometimes we have to glue it in. We have had about 8 pairs.

These shoes surprisingly lasted a long time. I've owned the Pro Classics Skateboard version too and these are comparable. The only problem was that I have flat feet and needed to put an insert into these to make them comfy and better for my feet. Other than that, no problemo!

These are nice comfortable shoes that can be dressed up or dressed down. I wear mine almost everyday. I had a slight problem with the first pair that I ordered, but I had no hassle returning it. I was also able to slip in my own inserts, so that added to the comfort for me.

So I don't love these sneakers. Period. However that hasn't stopped me from wearing them. I own several pairs of Vans and these are, for lack of a better term, too "low cut". Does that make any sense? You definitely can't wear these with skinny jeans in the fall/winter with your socks on without everyone seeing them. Nope, summertime only. Oh well, I'll tuck them away until next summer.

Comfy skate shoe, simple yet adequately stylish in the right manner.

The Vans Authentic Core Classics have good style and are super simple. Wear them to work, on the weekends, pushing the long board or whatever you have in mind. I wear them around without socks at times as well and my feet do not get hot and sweaty. As far as I'm concerned, you can't go wrong with these...they're a classic.

Awesome casual shoes when you just want to get up and go. Fits true to size. Switch out the laces to get an alternate look if you feel.

I bought this pair of Vans for my boyfriend and he loved them. There were half a size larger than marked but my boyfriend was so happy with how they looked that he did not want to return them. I would definitely recommend this pair to anyone.

Nice clean, crisp look. Not very comfortable though -- no support and no padding -- just canvas.

Overall, these were great, however, the heel area was too wide and the sneakers slipped with ever step.

I got these because I was looking for some casual shoes in a neutral color and I have had good luck with Vans before. They fit true to size, but they did not have the arch support that I was looking for and they are kind of heavy for simple tennis shoes. But the clincher for me was that they looked a little bit like grandma shoes when I put them on, which was totally unexpected! I will probably exchange them for the Ugg Evera canvas sneakers.

Nice looking. Ran wide. Runs big. Fits more like man's shoe than women's in terms of size and width. Not for long walks. Cute.

The all black ones get dirty really quickly. Also they hurt like a mother fucker the first time you wear them without socks. I wanted to wear them with socks but they don't make the special no show socks for these shoes in size 15.

These shoes are really stylish but they wear out easily if you use them for skateboarding. Also I wouldn't recommend going on long walks with these shoes. I might get another pair to replace my worn out ones.

Nice, clean pair of canvas sneakers that go very well with my indigo jeans. My main gripe with the shoe is the red "Vans Off The Wall" sticker at the rear heel of the shoe. If that were removed or black/white in color, this would be the perfect pair of black sneakers.

Comfortable. True to size. Narrow to med width. Easy ordering, tracking, shipping, etc. Great value for hard-to-find size. Looks nice and proportionate for a large size (no clown-feet look). Good for everyday wear. Good for narrow fit. Nice flexible sole. Van's always reliable!

Great shoe. I love Vans. I've been wearing Vans for 15 years and I don't think I've ever had a pair I didn't like. This is my first pair of Authentic's and they're great.

Very good quality, but they get dirty way too easy. I have one stain that won't come out! I've washed the shoes and scrubbed them a couple of times now. But overall, good shoes. Wish the price came down a little bit, but with quality comes a price.

Navy color goes with most outfits. Versatile. Sole is beginning to show wear after a month of use. Comfortable shoe. Good price.
