Customer Reviews Vans Era™

Surprisingly comfortable and good arch support for a flat, canvas shoe...but I had to return them because they're too narrow across the instep. In fact, my instep is so high that there weren't enough laces left to tie them. Not flattering.

The bad: These feel stiff and constricting on either side of the tongue. The top edge at the back of the shoe is very rigid and cuts into the foot just above the heel. The good: They look great.

This is the second pair of the Eras that I have owned. I loved my old pair. I wore them to work. I decided to replace them with the same shoe after I wore a hole through the bottom and side. The ones that I just bought though seem like they are narrower. Which is weird. They are the same size.

I thought these were really nice looking sneakers so I bought myself a pair. Although I wasn't so pleased when the shoes started to fall apart. I have many pairs of Vans and these where one of the only ones that fell apart. If I were you (a future customer), I suggest going for a different type of Van fabric.

It is my first pair of Vans' shoes. The shoes look really good. And the price is pretty good. However, it is really not comfortable. Maybe my feet are to wide for this kind of shoes. I usually wear Nike or other brands' sneakers. When I first wear these shoes on the street, I felt like I was wearing nothing. Also, wear socks when you wear the shoe, unless your tendons have cocoon.

I love the design of these shoes. I took out the laces and use them as casual shoes around the office. Unfortunately the lining came unglued after just a few weeks of wear. The side stipe is starting to come off the shoe where my foot pivots when walking.

When I first started wearing this shoe, it was fairly comfortable... maybe a bit flat. Over time, however, the heel wears very quickly. You will only get about 2 months out of this shoe. I wear them M-F to work (desk job) so that's 2 months of every day wear. At that point, the cloth in the back started wearing out behind which is just a piece of plastic. I'm going to try some heel liners, but overall, very disappointed.

Cute sneakers, fast service, unfortunately they hurt the back of my ankle. It looks like they're cushioned but they still dig in. I will be returning them. :(

Was looking for a shoe that had the Van's style and fit, yet a solid black color so I could wear them for work. They look great and I have had no complaints from my boss. Only downside is they do seem to be a bit slippery compare to actual work shoes. Overall though, they were a great purchase.

These shoes are incredibly uncomfortable. I wore them once and my feet were SO sore afterwards!

Very stylish and very uncomfortable.

seemed to be 1/2 size too small. Tight in the toe box.

Very uncomfortable, too narrow, and no arch support. Design to feminine for a man's shoe.

I love the color and design on these shoes, I really wish I didn’t have to return them. Unfortunately the inside of shoe has leather lining around the edge which gave me horrible blisters. I will be returning these.

The back part that wraps around your Achilles is pretty stiff and not padded at all. Kind of hurts after walking around for a day running errands.
