Awesome shoes. It's been a while since I've had a pair of Vans but they still rock. I did switch the insoles however as I am getting older and my feet always hurt. The original insoles were OK, but I got some slightly more cushion for my heels and love these shoes.

These are great shoes for long boarding, which I noticed on a day I left them behind and tried to use my regular shoes. They provide a great board feel without becoming socks with soles. Due to comments, I ordered a half-size larger than normal, which works fine... but it seemed that these are actually true to size (they objectively seem a bit long but feel just right on my feet).

These are really cool, fun shoes. At first I wasn't sure about the fit, but after wearing them a bit they felt perfect. They are actually a great walking shoe - I walked all around city streets the first week I had them and they were really comfortable. These are great looking retro sneakers at a good price. I have only had them for about a month so cannot comment on how they hold up, but they look to be very well made...stitching, etc. looks good.

This has been a great shoe. My son 's a skater & love's the styling with the old school appeal. Will definitely buy another pair when these wear out.

My teenage son keeps this in his rotation. They are definitely handsome; however, they will not stand up to your average skateboarding tween or teen. See you again in 3-6 months.

I work out and go to the gym on a daily basis. I have a variety of sport shoes and specialty shoes for my workout but I was looking for a casual shoe to wear out to a restaurant or casual venue. Good shoe for the purpose. Easy, comfortable, and current. I am not a young kid so this was a big step for me but I like these shoes.

Excellent casual low-cut sneaker. Ordered these for an everyday-of-summer pair of kicks and I am perfectly happy with the purchase, got exactly what I wanted. Durable construction, true fit, minimal break-in time needed (and I have very wide feet) and look sharp with shorts or pants. Highly recommended. Perhaps not the best choice to walk around in for 16 hours at a major amusement park, but hanging out at home or an afternoon at the local pizza shop or running errands around town is fine.

Awesome shoe. Like the style and great for just running around in. Also skate and of course, it grips perfectly. These shoes look cool with shorts or jeans. Would definitely buy another pair.

Just as they have been for most, if not all, of my life, these Vans are perfect. Delivered super quickly, fit great, look cool, and stick to my bike pedals like glue.

I've sworn by these Old Skool lo-tops for close to 20 years now, and for the last 15, I've been comfortably wearing size 9.5. Until this pair, that is. These ones fit small (more narrow than short). Because I was so familiar with how they "should" fit, I called customer support, thinking maybe I got a bum pair. They sent me another pair, but they still had the same fit issue. Not sure if this is a permanent change in fit, or a temporary oddity. Still love my Old Skools.

I'm a big fan of Vans; I own five pair. You can't go wrong with this classic casual look. Zappos is a great website they always deliver my orders very quickly and go above and beyond for customer satisfaction. If you're a fan of Chuck Taylor's and Vans, I would definitely recommend these shoes and I can't say enough great things about Zappos!

I love these shoes. Vans are the only shoe that have stayed the same in quality and comfort that don't break the bank.

Comfortable shoes, though not a ton of support. I think they look pretty cool. The sole is as thick as it looks in the pictures given. They seem well made, too.

Just received these yesterday for a simple skate shoe. I wear a size 12 in Adidas and so that's what I ordered for these and they fit great. If you're looking for a simple shoe to slip on and off, or skate with, then these are a perfect fit. Otherwise if you're standing on your feet all day, I would not recommend this particular style.

I haven't had a pair of Vans since high school and these were a great purchase. They are comfortable and stylish and I've gotten lots of compliments on them. They are fine to walk in and they grip bike pedals really well. The size was just right although I like to put some Dr Scholls in my shoes to fill them out a little more. Did that with these and they fit great.

Very good quality product, very good quality service from Zappos. Overall, the shoes were very nice. Clean and sturdy. At first, the back of the shoes caused irritation on my heel but after breaking them in, they feel very comfortable. Not much in terms of arch support, but at least they're not completely flat. I've owned a pair of the checkered slip-ons and I just loved the experience. I decided to try another style of shoe by Vans and yet again I'm very happy with the purchase. Fits true to size and width.

These are my all-time favorite shoes. My last pair still look pretty good after at least four years of heavy wear, unlike the Authentic Core Classics, which wear down very quickly.

I've been buying these shoes off and on for about 20 years. Still love them and always will! They run about a half size to big though.

Great shoes, great price, fast shipping. I bought these shoes for skateboarding and they work well on the board or casual wear. I have size 14 shoes so there is nowhere to buy shoes in stores but Zappos has them in my size.

These shoes are perfect but only after having to return two pairs because my son kept changing his mind. The Zappos team was so helpful and made everything so easy and pleasant. I absolutely think they have the best customer service crew. I would definitely use and recommend Zappos to anyone.

Great shoes, exactly as pictured. Shipping was Zappos prompt as usual. Vans are a great vintage style sneaker that look cool and feel heavy and remind me of my old Puma days. Bought these for my niece. The fit was a little snug so she returned them and went a size up. Other than that and no issues. A great shoe.

I just bought these for my husband for Xmas and he loves them. They are a great casual shoe to wear with jeans or he can wear them with his scrubs to work, too. They are very comfortable and great quality. We haven't worn Vans since high school, but I kinda want to order myself a pair as well. :)

My husband has worn Vans for years, and since there are no Vans stores in our area, I decided to try ordering online. The Vans website was not working so I was thrilled when I was able to breeze through the ordering process on Zappos. I love your awesome service, great prices, and fast delivery, not to mention your incredible return policy.

This is the second year in a row my nephew has requested shoes from Zappos and I cannot be more satisfied with the quality and service. My nephew always waits until the last minute to let me know what he wants but Zappos is always there to take care of his Christmas. Thank you for your quality products and superb service!
