Customer Reviews Vans Era™

Classy comfort - Vans is really in tune with the new offerings for 2007. The Era style provides a nice fit and sporty looks. The Era styles hold their shape up longer than all the canvas sneakers of this style.

These shoes are awesome. They are comfortable to wear around school and any other place you have to go.

Childhood Memories - These shoes feel just like when I was a little boy. Just like butter!! Love them.

Great feeling and looking shoe! The shoe is awesome. I highly recommend it for someone looking for a shoe that brings great style and feel.

These babies are BOMB - These shoes are the coolest thing around. Bob Dylan wore these, same with Tony Hawk. So you should get these too.

I find that Vans are generally a tad bigger - in length and width but, in a good way. They fit great and become more comfortable with every wear!

Vans Era Classics - Awesome! Perfect sneaker, a classic. I was concerned about the laces being too long, a problem I've had with Vans in the past, but the laces are the perfect length. Zappos is great, when the price dropped on these a few days after I ordered mine, I called the customer service number and they refunded me the difference. Zappos is the best, and they have the best selection.

Bomb Threat shoes - I bought my first pair back in 8th grade before Vans craze first took place. Great shoes for almost any occasion. I'm even considering buying a new pair for prom. I'm now a senior in high school and I own approximately 8 pairs of Vans. Six of them being Vans Classic. GREAT SHOE!!!!!!

Excellent shoe and service - I ordered off of Zappos because the local Vans store didn’t have these in my size. I ordered the espresso color and I’ve already gotten compliments when wearing them. There was a problem with UPS delivering the first pair, but when I informed Zappos of the problem they overnighted another pair free of charge! Very nice.

Great, but watch pricing! Love the Vans Eras, and they're great for comfort and awesome looks! But, watch the pricing- some of the suede Eras are 39.95 and some 49.95, and the pricing scheme doesn't seem to make sense. Leather vs. Canvas? Some suedes are priced differently (maybe color?). No, Canvas vs. "expensive canvas"? Maybe... I know that some of the newest Vans are made with super-premium materials. Nonetheless, service is top notch and deliveries very, very swift!

White is the color of openness. My girlfriend says I look like a sailor, but these shoes are great (particularly with beat up jeans and a suit jacket). Highly recommended.

Fits great, the material needed a bit of breaking in as when I took a step the material bunched up on my big toe bone and caused moderate pain when walking. They are broken in now and very comfortable. Highly recommend, just be wary about breaking them in.

It fit great and it looks great I liked the colors that it came in. the arch support is non existent but it gets the job done

Awesome leather shoes. Just like any Vans they take some time to break in before they're truly comfy. They're holding up great and I love 'em.

I like the shoes a lot. My only con is that the material looks a little purplish rather than just gray. It's very slight, though. They seem comfortable enough to me.

After about two weeks of torture, the shoes finally fit. At this point, I am happy with the shoe, but for two weeks, the back was digging into both of my feet requiring me to wear bandages right above the heel. I've had this same problem with several other Vans pairs. Once they break in though, they are wonderful shoes; they look nice, usually last me about a year (I walk a lot), and have great ventilation. The sole is white, so it will get dirty, but the top stays nice. Also, the black top will rub off on the laces a little bit. Overall: happy.

My son loves his Vans and so does his friends. However, they are just for style and not for Gym.

The shoe in general is great, the only problem I had with it was the heel part of the hole where you put your foot was a little tight. It gave me a blister the first couple of weeks. Once the shoe gets broken in it feels fine.

I bought these for my 10 year old daughter and she absolutely loves them! They are quite heavy and not suitable for sports...more of a stylish sneaker. She likes these much better than Converse.

My son is returning these shoes and trying another pair. The eyelets are weirdly spaced from one shoe to the other.

A little rough on the break in but very nice shoes, look sharp and durable. Suede is tough to keep clean.

I am really enjoying these shoes. Fit is great, they look snazzy, and feel sturdier than their canvas brothers. My only critique that I can find is that the suede on the back of the heels, got pretty dirty pretty quickly. Other than that, they look and feel great.

These are lightweight and cool looking but offer no support.

I really like Zappos and the free shipping. This is a good comfy shoe. It felt pretty tight on my foot at first and I thought I would have to return them but I wore them a couple times and they fit better now.

Shoes came in on time. Zappos offers great variety not available in local stores. Free shipping both ways makes it easier to shop for shoes online.
