Customer Reviews Vans Era

Comfort lacking - If you are looking for a shoe without any support, this is the shoe for you. Also, the top edge of the heel digs into my heel more than any other pair of Vans that I have worn.

Unfortunately these are very uncomfortable to the point where they’re painful to wear. They dig into my heels and the large stitches in the back cut into my skin.

The shoes fit perfect, and extra comfortable, I was disappointed to find out, the tongue strap that used to be there, has now been removed.

I wear a 10. I ordered a 10 and it was too small in every dimension, more like an 8 1/2. So I ordered a 10 1/2 which is not my size. The replacement was long enough but painfully narrow. None of my other Vans have ever had these fitting problems. It's as if these are Chinese lookalikes using Chinese sizing standards and just labeled to say Vans. They are not American sizes. They look great but don't fit like Vans and they don't fit me.

I love the look and feel of the shoe. The fit was more narrow than most men size 9.5.

The sizing on these classic Vans has gotten progressively worse. They run laughably small now. Order 2 sizes up if you want these to fit.

I've always worn Vans, these definitely feel smaller than normal, i've worn them twice and would like to return them if possible? I would need a size 11 at least. I also called your customer service line a week prior to shipment to confirm delivery date as I was going on travel, they showed up 3 days late and I was unable to travel with them, pretty bummed all around on the experience.

Shoes were completely uncomfortable.

These shoes squeak. It is noticeable when walking in a relatively quiet place. Maybe its my socks but this is the only shoe I own that squeaks. I had a pair of vans slip ons and they didn’t squeak. I’ll probably donate them if Zappos won’t help me out. Their customer service is always good so I may give them a call first. Fit it a full size small compared to American made boots. I’m a 10.5 in redwing and 11.5 in vans.

Too small. All my vans fit all the same size but these were way too small. Maybe just a defect pair. But they were super cute and easy return..

For some unknown reason the size was much much too small I could not use the shoes. The last size was perfect This was completely off

fit snug.

Super uncomfortable. Rides the upper back of my heel and makes you feel every step.

I forgot that it's impossible to remove the insoles from Vans and that no amount of sizing up will comfortably accommodate an insole for arch support. Of course they look cool, but that means nothing if they're too painful to wear. Bummed.

These are not the same as the Eras that I previously had. Before this shoe had very good quality. The shoe that I received was a half size larger, the tongue was not padded and was very narrow. It was more like the Authentic than the Era. Very disappointed.

I selected these thinking they had more comfort padding and support than the classic Van's. Within the first 1/4 mile of walking in them, my heels were rubbed raw by the material used around the top of the foot entry. It looks and feels like vinyl and is somewhat "sticky" so it creates a lot of friction when walking. (yes i wear them with socks). The box got thrown out so I have to keep them. I'm using Moleskin when I wear them to protect my feet and hopefully they will wear in and be as comfortable as my old classics. I've seen other reviews about blisters at first then they are fine. Looking forward to that day!

This is not the shoe I ordered. The picture shown on the website was a four eyelet shoe. I received a pair with five eyelet. I know it may be no big deal to some, but I looked all over for this particular style and when I found it on Zappos I was elated. Sadly, I am returning them.

We love vans for their quality. But unfortunately after wearing these everyday to school my son's shoes are already falling apart. The front of the rim is detaching from the fabric over his toes. They didn't even last one school quarter.

These shoes were my first Van's purchase. I've worn a size 11 for decades in all types of shoe styles and boots. These felt very small so I returned them and ordered an 11.5 (thank you Zappos for free returns!). Box was marked 11.5 but the shoes inside were 10.5. Sent them back and made another attempt at 11.5. Actually received the correct size but they're still at least half a size too small so I'll be returning them. I give up. I'm going to try a different style / brand.

The shoes look great, but I will send them back and try to find a wider pair, these are way too narrow.

good looking shoe

nice shoe but the size 12 was too tight (short and narrow). I've never had trouble with other size 12 shoes.
