As always, Vans are stylish and I love the design. However, they are horribly uncomfortable! I don't know if they've always been this way or if I didn't mind when I used to wear them... Maybe I was young and stupid? I have to return them. I wore them around the house for an hour and my feet, legs, and ankles were very unhappy. I could also tell I would eventually wind up with blisters on my heels. Disappointed for sure

I wore these shoes for a full day at work, and I had to take them off on the drive home because they were so uncomfortable. I got blisters on both heels (yes, I was wearing socks). They are heavier than the Authentic Vans I have been wearing. They squash my toes and have no cushioning or support. I do not recommend them. I am a woman, so maybe they are more comfortable for men?

This show seems very well made and I love the color and style. However, I ordered my size (in other Vans styles) and this style is runs really small and very narrow. I am a women with average medium width feet. I tried the next two larger sizes and the shoe still fit very narrow so I unfortunately returned them all.

I bought these for my bartending gig as I needed black comfortable shoes. These ran a bit small, were not comfortable and did not hold up too well. They had a tear in the canvas within a week.

The shoes look good but they are terrible in the inside. They are so uncomfortable to walk with. Every time I took a step the back of my heel was in pain. Just terrible.

Great look and seem to be correct size. But buyer beware, the back heel of this shoe digs into your heel. Had blisters on back of heel after less than an hour of wear. Unfortunately, wore outside so can't return them. Would have otherwise.

It was not canvas as stated. It was wider and longer. More like a mans shoe.

I'm very dissapointed. I ordered these as a Christmas gift & they're not like the pictures. Instead of three different colors, they're only two different colors.

They don't use the same insoles as classic Era. Very upsetting and ridiculous. Shame on you Vans, for calling this "Era"...

I love Vans but these particular ones are not for people with wide feet. Tried to order a size up to try to make it work but I had to return these and look elsewhere. These were just too narrow and just not comfortable for my wider foot.

BRAND NEW SHOES RUINED I bought a pair of suede shoes for myself. Less than a week later we bought the cleaner as there were a few scuffs. The cleaner completely Ruined and discolored my shoes. It basically ate away the color. They were pink but now there is white/black marks. My family loves vans but we will not be using the cleaner again. My shoes look awful am so upset.. I don't even think I will buy vans again

I used to buy these all of the time every year, for YEARS. But last year 2021 I discovered the 7.5 was suddenly too big, my foot slipped out. I tried the 7, too small as expected. I waited a few months, tried 7.5 again, too big. I even called and spoke with the representative to see if there had been a size change but they did not know. Just tried to order these again (2022), still too big - what happened??? I have these in white and black from 2019 and they fit perfect. Please go back to the original fit!!!

There is a filter on the photo. The shoes are dull and a different color.

These shoes were way too narrow! I ordered my usual 6 1/2 M but there was no way I could wear them. Also, the back part was really shallow and looked kind of weird.
