Great Shoes! My brother likes the loop and hook style shoes. The gray two-tone color is hard to find. The shoes are light weight, comfortable, and easy to get on and off. My brother is hard to please, but he had no complaints about these shoes.

These shoes are great!! They fit perfect and are also really comfortable. I also was upgraded to overnight shipping for FREE! Who doesn’t love that? I would absolutely recommend these shoes and Zappos.com as well! =)

Score! These Vans are a hit! Super cool camo-skulls rock! I was worried they'd be too narrow for my wide foot, but they were actually perfect. I was also nervous that I would look like Ronald McDonald in my woman's 9.5 if I wore them with shorts or a skirt - no problem there either. The only negative thing I could say is that they probably aren't the best for lots of walking - at least until you've broken them in.

Awesome shoes plus Zappos rocks - These sneaks are really cool. I got the camo skull print and I think I will buy the plaid ones as well. They are comfy and good looking. I ordered these shoes on a Tuesday afternoon and received them Wednesday before lunch! I LOVE ordering from Zappos!!

I just received my Vans. I don't normally wear this type of sneaker; I find them too flat and on the narrow side. These fit great and are surprisingly comfortable. I ordered them in the Black/White. The only issue I have with them is that the metal eyelet for the first strap rubs the knuckle on my big toe. Other than that they're great. I wear a size 11 in most shoes and ordered them in that size. Great fit. Free shipping, great too. Shipping upgraded to 1 day at no extra cost? FANTASTIC! I LOVE ZAPPOS!

Great pair of shoes - You can wear these shoes anywhere and with anything. Very comfortable, especially when you buy the right size. I have wide feet, and these accommodate them perfectly. If you don't have a pair of Vans, or Chucks and are stuck between the two - definitely go for these.

Another great Vans shoe, no need for shoelaces. The same old familiar Vans sole with a great idea - velcro for grown-ups. I love it. Nothing to get tangled in my bike gears, nothing to confuse my sleepy brain when I'm getting dressed in the morning, and nothing to worry about when it comes to matching the wardrobe. They fit as snugly as you want them to, more like Old Skools than like the slip-ons… with start-up time somewhere in between.

Wow - I read the reviews for this and was looking for the black. A few said they were a half size larger, so I went with them and got a half size smaller. Turns out they were right. They feel really snug and for people that might have a high arch, they are velcro so you do have some room for play. I was afraid they’d be too narrow like Converse which was my dilemma in picking my size or a half size down, but everyone was right. Good job people.

LOVE these shoes. I usually put insoles in my shoes, but with my high arches there wasn't room in these. Didn’t matter though, they are super comfortable. I have a wide foot and it didn't matter. My boyfriend has these too; we both purchased the smallest of the sizes we usually fit.

Great shoes - I bought these for my husband in the checker print to match the pair we had bought our 17-month-old son. They look super cute and they both receive compliments everywhere we go. Also, my husband says they are very comfortable.

Love these shoes!!!! Theses shoes are comfortable and stylish. I'm the type of guy that likes shoes that don't require laces and the fact that their velcro makes them cool.

Love these shoes!! I love Vans! I have had many pairs of various Vans styles over the years and have now returned to Prison Issue for the third time. I think the shoes look and feel great. When I first received them they were a little bit stiff and needed to be broken in, but once I wore them for a days they were great. I would definitely recommend these shoes.

I LOVE THESE SHOES - These are amazing shoes! I already have two pairs, one checkerboard that says vans, and another one - persimmon (idk how to spell that!) I get compliments literally every day when i wear the second pair! they're so cute and comfy, and they last SUPER long. I've had my first pair for almost a year now, and even though they look a bit dingy, they have the same great feel! i would recommend these shoes to anyone! <3

Awesome shoe for guys on the go! This shoe is perfect for my 8 year-old son who is always on the go! This may be his 7th pair of black prison issues since he discovered them when they first came out. My 12 year-old also wears them. The hook-and-loop closure allows for easy and quick wearability and he can customize the fit easier than laces. Totally awesome shoe!

Funky retro shoes - I am outside the usual age group for these shoes. However, I love the retro design with peace signs and colorful patterns as I remember from the original 70s movement. I've received many comments and inquiries about these fun shoes and they’re comfortable, too. These shoes work for my narrow foot due to the adjustable straps. Just a great shoe.

Vans Prison Issue #23 Black/White - Unbelievable service from Zappos. I am very, very impressed. Received shoes in less than 24 hours delivered at my doorstep. Shoes were very nice, well made, and attractive. I will most likely need to return them only because my foot is a bit too wide to be comfortable in these medium width shoes--which is a shame because I really do like them. Sizing does appear to be true.

AWESOME - I’ve shopped at Zappos before and the shoes have been wonderful, and this time was no different! They fit my feet exactly, and they are really cute! And this price was the cheapest around. Yay for Zappos.

2nd Pair! I highly recommend these shoes - they are very stylish and very comfortable and I love them. I wore them so much that I wore them out and needed to get a second pair.

Super fly! Love these. Saw them on a trip to NYC but they didn't have my size, so I tried Zappos and BOOM there they were. Love love love em. Comfy, and look great with boot cut jeans!

Cute, comfortable shoe - These shoes are great! I want more colours. They were comfortable from the very beginning for me. They're cute with everything, and though I've seen some reviews stating that they make your feet look big(ger), I haven't noticed that at all - my Vans slip ons do, but not these. They do run a bit larger, or the size chart is off because it lists my size (8 women's) as equivalent to men's 6.5. I've always worn a 6 men's in Van's, so I ordered that, and it fit perfectly as always. Had I followed the chart I would've ended up with a shoe that was too big. Overall they're wonderful. Perfect summer shoe.

On Time Delivery - You guys are not joking when you say next day delivery. The shoes arrived the next day, right on time for me to wear with my outfit.

Pretty spectacular - I bought these shoes over a year ago and I have worn them just about everyday. Although, they start to show signs of tearing and wearing only after a few months, they haven't fallen apart yet. And they are still comfortable... which is good because they stopped producing these shoes in my color.

Finally, not just sneakers! I love these shoes. Finally something more for the summer. I'm too lazy to tie shoes and have a big foot. I love these as they are perfect for me. Not too heavy and a bit lower to the ground than my sneakers. Thanks Zappos!

I really like this tennis shoe. It had more support than I had expected. Best Vans fit ever. Better than other Vans that feel flat. I plan to purchase more different colors.
