Customer Reviews Vans Era

The Vans Era Core Classics are much better than the Vans Authentic Core Classics. It has a bit more padding all around, so it makes for a much sturdier shoe. Anyways these shoes look great, feel great, match everything, and the price isn't too bad either. Recommended!

I used this product 3 times for work and my feet are killing me. Previously I was buying the Era ComfyCush and those shoes were really comfortable. I must have bought over 10 pair and loved them. The skate Era has less support without a doubt.

Left shoe is semi-comfortable. Back of right shoe keeps poking my feet, making it very uncomfortable to wear for a long time.

Got a pair of Eras during the most recent $20 off each shoe sale. They came in the mail today and the first time I tried the left one on, the tongue ripped immediately. They fit perfect, I wasn't pulling or struggling to get them on, just immediately ripped. I also got a pair of Authentics and they didn't rip, although I did notice all four pairs have frayed unfinished edges on both sides of each tongue. Like the bottom sides of each tongue are not attached to the inside of the shoe, just a small part of the bottom.

Luckily this pair was good fit and didn't have to return like some past orders. Unfortunately I am stuck with 2 other pairs of Vans that went past the 60 day return policy that are defective and still like new but no way to return them?

My kids need all-black flat shoes for their private school, and Vans have the look / are recommended. The kids do complain some about the fit though, specifically: - Narrow at the front end of the foot. We went up 1/2 size for my daughter to try and address this, and there is plenty of room at the toe, but she says the sides of her foot still feel "squeezed" - Heel is stiff and narrow. Both kids came home from the first day of wearing, with skin chafed off from their heel / lower part of the Achilles. These should both get better with breaking in and wear, but it would be great if they were somehow designed to be bit more comfortable out of the box. For the value and look, I would definitely recommend to a friend or other parents. However the kids whining about the fit and comfort out of the box is a bit difficult to deal with; I would be hesitant to recommend and then have other kids complain to their parents that I referred them to something uncomfortable they don't like.
