Customer Reviews Vans Era

I really like these. Since they're Vans, they're comfortable of course, but they're stylish enough to wear at the office if you switch out the laces to black or grey.

I'm a female high school teacher (51) and I have gotten more compliments from students on these shoes than any other I have ever worn! The kids think they are cool. They are pretty comfortable. I do wish they had a bit more arch support, as I need to add an insole so I can wear them all day. I normally wear a women's size 11 and ordered a men's 9 1/2 and they fit great. Actually make my feet look a little smaller than some shoes.

Love the quality of these shoes but they seem to run a bit small. I'm a women's 7.5. I think I'd get an 8 for the next round.

My high school daughter has had these shoes for almost a year, and wears them with everything, and almost daily! They are holding up very well and look fantastic after all that time on her feet. It's safe to say we will be buying another pair when she outgrows or destroys this pair!

I love these shoes! I was looking for a casual shoe that I could wear when I want sneakers but not full on running shoe athletic sneakers. I wanted something stylish that I could wear without socks too. These are perfect! They are not too bulky but aren't too tiny and restricting either. And I was amazed that there was no breaking in period. I wore them without socks the first time and they were incredible, no blisters or any discomfort. Highly recommend these. Plus they look really cute. For reference, I wear a size 7 in most shoes (flats and heels, boots, etc) but I bought size 6.5 knowing I was not going to wear them with socks. They fit perfectly.

Super comfortable, even without socks. The footbed is very comfortable too. I own a pair of Supergas and these are way more comfortable and cheaper. Probably my new favorite sneaker. That said, I cannot yet comment on quality. They may only last one season.

Just got a pair of these in Navy color. I wear these exclusively without socks and couldn't be happier with the fit and comfort. The shipping was fast as well. May have to order another pair as warmer weather is on the way!

I purchased these for my young adult son. He wears them daily and says they are extremely comfortable.

It's a very cool product, I'm satisfied.

The girls sizes they list are totally accurate. If you wear a 7.5 order what they say is girls 7.5 I've worn there a few weeks now and they broke in really quick. Cute shoes... for a boy or girl. A thick sock helps these shoes on the comfort level.

We bought these for my daughter's school uniform. They are cute and sporty with her pleated plaid skirts. And they are comfortable and seem to be holding up well. Recommend!

My sons love the black and gray color combo! When they're new they look dressy enough to where to church or a nice restaurant without having to pull out their dress shoes. They're true to size, wear well, and don't look dirty and grubby right away like some of the lighter colors.

Vans styling is always an attention getter. These are shoes for casual wear so don't expect a high degree of comfort or sport functionality. They wear well and they fit as described. Zappos' delivery time can't be beat.

These are really great sneakers, perfect as a simple, classic shoe for summer. One of the only pairs of shoes that I've owned that looks better with wear.

I bought these for my daughter and she LOVES them! I love the gray and black color combo. Vans never disappoint. :)

I own more Vans than I would care to count! These are a classic style designed for all ages and both men and women. I find them to be very comfortable and take a decent amount of abuse before it is time to retire them and pick out a new pair (aka replace the color you wore out since you should own them all). The only negative I can say about them is that they have very limited support. I find them to be a more day to day shoe...even though I use them for everything short of working out!

My experience with Zappos.com was very very good. I would highly recommend them. I ordered a pair of vans sneakers and they arrived on the day promised (which was very fast for free shipping) I have no complaints and will be looking to Zappos.com in the future when I need shoes.

I actually own a lot of different pairs of Vans, but these are def my favorite because they're simply classic and go with pretty much anything. I've heard and read about some saying that the padding around the collar of the shoe dig into the ankles, but I've never had that problem personally and if you're worried you can go for the Authentics instead though I actually feel like the padding makes the shoe more comfortable and durable. These shoes have a flat foot-bed like all Vans typically do, but a little more cushion than Converse if you're looking for more squish. Hope this review helps!

Cool shoe! Bought these for my 8th grader and they fit well and fit the desired look he goes for. True to size.

I love these Vans so much! Perfect fit and so comfortable. True to size too. And as always, Zappos is by far the best online store to order from! Love my Vans and love Zappos!

Very comfortable, great fit, nothing fancy. I wore these as a skateboarder in the '70s and haven't been without a pair since. Just a classic that will likely never go away.

I am very pleased with this product. It is a very comfortable shoe, that is easy to walk in all day. A very popular shoe, and very "in- style" everyone is wearing Vans!

I recently received my first pair of Vans Eras (mine are navy), and I've already determined that these are basically the perfect shoes for me. They're my second pair of Vans (other pair are black slip-ons). I came to Vans after wearing Converse for almost ten years (all Chuck Taylors except for one pair of Jack Purcells). In my opinion, Vans are clearly superior in terms of appearance, comfort, fit, finish, and durability. Also, Zappos really is as great as everyone says on here. I initially ordered a second pair of slip-ons, but the sizing didn't work; the pair I already have is a half-size small to make them snug enough, but they're really too small so I ordered my true size. But those were too loose, so I returned those to get Eras (with laces for better control over tightness) instead. Return shipping was easy and free, the credit to my account was done quickly, and the Eras arrived even more quickly than the original order had.

I have always worn vans and this is one of my go-to pairs. I like to alternate between the slip-ons and these. This pair is especially great as there is some extra padding around the heal that makes them quite comfortable.
