Customer Reviews Vans Era™

I like the style of the shoes, although not the most comfortable, they don't bend very well in the toe box area. If however I was looking for comfort I would have went with trainers. I know as they wear, they will get a bit more comfortable, since I have had Vans before. Overall a nice shoe that looks good with shorts or jeans and really as Fernando said "It is better to look good than feel good."

Black Era - For right now, I have to wear band aids on my heel because the new shoes were giving me blisters, but hopefully that will not continue for much longer. The shoe looks cool and is comfortable aside from the heel, which may just be due to my feet.

Don't shop anywhere else. My son wanted the black/pewter Vans shoe so bad. We looked and looked in so many stores in San Diego. No one had his size. So I suggested we look on Zappos.com to find the shoe. Unfortunately you were so sold out. What's great is that we requested a certain size and left our email address so that we would be notified when you got the shoe in. Low and behold we got the email notice a few days later. I quickly ordered the shoe. No shipping fees, I love it. The shoe came in a couple days. What great service. I love your company.

I purchased a pair of these for my son and daughter in black/tebetan red and plaid respectively. The kids like them as well as my mother who also wears them. The uppers are soft. The sole is stiff. I would not recommend running in them, but they are great for casual wear. They have that laid back yet pulled together look. The sizing is consistent. Zappos is truly the FINEST shoe store in the world!! Easy returns, easy purchasing, comfortable viewing from my computer. LOVE YA!!

Van Era’s - Love the look and feel of this shoe. Great for trips to the store. Look neater than running shoes. Have no idea if it would accommodate orthotics but, I would be inclined to say yes.

Shoe's Great! I don't know what else to tell you guys, but these shoes are amazing. Great color, firm heel, durable tongue, it's just everything I could hope for! Thanks Zappos.com!

Outstandy buy and service - This was my first purchase from Zappos, but after this experience it will not be my last. Was amazed at the speedy service. I had ordered them that evening and had them the next day. My son loved them and the fit was perfect, I loved the price.

Vans Era - Still great after all these years. Ive been wearing Vans shoes for 27 years now and nothing has changed. Very durable, old school style and true to size.

Sweet shoe. Classic look. All around sweet.

Love'em - I got these Vans for my 22-year-old son, who usually has worn the heavily padded skateboarders' Vans. He says these are a little stiff out of the box but quickly became comfortable after a couple of days. They seemed true to size and width.

Vans Era - I've worn Vans Era since before they were called "Era." Back when one could visit their local Vans store and open a catalogue and pick different colored fabric for the toe, middle portion and heel of the shoes. Thank God that Vans is making more color-ways of their classic shoes. During the past 25 years, I've owned more pairs of Vans than I can accurately recall. Great shoes!

Great shoe - A nice casual sneaker that fits well. I have a narrow foot so the sneaker didn't need to stretch in order for it to feel comfortable on my feet.

Outstanding era - Great shoes, comfortable, fit was perfect and well, they just look good, first day I wore them to work everyone wanted to know where I got them, shipping was superb as well. I will be ordering more shoes from Zappos. Couldn’t find these in any stores around my area.

Good Shoe - These shoes are great all around. The waffle grip is great for skating around and never slips bombing hills, which is necessary. They also look super fly, and feel great too.

Beacherman - The Vans shoes came in a day early and were the correct order but the fit was narrow. I only buy Vans and have been for 20 years. I have never had a narrow fit on one before. It squeezed my toes together. I wear a size 11.5. I thought about returning it but hoped it would stretch out a little.

I'm in love with this shoe! I purchased this shoe recently for a weekend trip. I was a little skeptical since this is my first pair of Vans and I didn't know how they would fit or how comfortable they would be. Zappos delivered them quickly and let me say I haven't been able to take them off since I got them! I get compliments everywhere I go. I plan to purchase more in different colors.

Vans Rock! I am in love with my new Vans. I've been wearing them since the 80's when they were cool and they still are. I love the pattern and they go with so much of my wardrobe. They do take a little bit to break in but after a week they are perfect.

Good old Vans. The best affordable style on Earth.

Vans Era - I love Vans and I especially love these shoes. This is my second pair and I wear them a lot. I usually don’t wear socks but either way they're great. I wear them at the hospital while I work and when I go out. Also, great in the summer time. I have a size 13 foot and its hard to find shoes that look good on my feet with my skinny figure but these are awesome. You won’t be disappointed for the price.

Vans fans - Bought these for my husband for his 40th birthday. He’s been wearing Vans since he was a kid and still loves them today. Your store has a huge selection; the only downside is that some of the styles that we like the most are not available in his size.

Great comfort - The only negative thing I have to say is the low arch support - no biggie because I have orthotic inserts. I wore these for the first time and WITHOUT socks and they didn't seem to have a breaking-in period the way some shoes do. I will definitely buy more!

Happenin' These shoes are pretty sick to say the least. I wear them all the time because the quality is superb, comfort is satisfying, and as for the look, well, let's just say I am very happy with it. Very. These sneakers are definitely in their own league as far as athletic footwear goes.

Van-tastic! I am a 46-year old woman who is still trying to stay in the game, stylewise. There was a time in my youth when I might find these supremely comfortable shoes ugly, and even dorky. But, thanks to the skate generation, I can be oh so cushy AND stylish at the same time. After I showed up in these, my boyfriend's 76-year old mother bought a pair, too. Now, that's scary, on so many levels.

Love it - The ideal shoe. Casual and cool.
