Customer Reviews Vans Authentic™

I got these for my son and he loves them. They fit true to size and the color is great. Will buy again.

Cute, but slightly painful - The left shoe rubs on the bone by my little toe, so I haven't been able to wear them very much.

Vans Rock - These Vans are terrific! I remember wearing these back in the day. I'm glad to see nothing has changed. I've ordered 3 pairs this month (the espresso for me, 2 in red, one pair for me, the other for my 16 year old son). My son also wants the all black. I'll most likely get the true white. Zappos, you're the best. Your super FAST shipping and your return policy cannot be beat. THANKS!!!!

Vans authentic - I got the gray and black checkered kind and they are awesome. They don't have padding on the back unlike the other Vans that look similar and I think these are more comfortable. Also the front part (between the laces and the toe) is a lot smaller than on other Vans so this shoe doesn't make your foot look like a boat. Even on a larger foot it is a really cute looking shoe.

A great shoe - I was skeptical of purchasing shoes online, but with the free overnight shipping both ways, I decided to give it a shot! I ordered the shoes around 4pm and they arrived at my door the very next morning! Zappos is the best. I ordered a size 9. My other shoes were mostly size 9 with a few 8s. The shoe fit like a glove and I didn't have to trade in sizes. Great shoes.

These shoes are amazing! I love them and I love Zappos too :).

Cool then...Cool now. I loved these shoes back in the 80's, and just got my first pair since then. I can’t believe I ever wore anything else! They're comfortable, look good, and cost less than half of what most sneakers cost these days! Depending on the shoes (and socks) I usually wear 10-10.5 (although I do have a couple pair of 9.5's I can wear comfortably)...and I got these in a 10.5, and another pair that were 10's. The 10's felt small, and much narrower than the 10.5's, so I think they get progressively narrower as they get smaller. I would go with a half-size bigger than usual if your foot is on the average-to-wide side. Zappos return policy is excellent and easy though!

Authentic Vans - Vans fit well and are very comfortable.

Always a good choice - I've worn Authentics at one time or another for the last 15 years or so. They're always comfortable. They don't provide a whole lot of support, and they don't last so very long, but I still love 'em and they're still pretty cheap (they cost like $20 back in the day...)

Classic, as always - These and Chucks will rock on for another 20 years. These are great shoes, takes a little while to properly break in, but then they're golden.

Love this pair of shoes! This is a very comfortable shoe. It is, in my opinion, true to size and width.

Casual Comfort and Style - Have been getting a ton of compliments on these shoes. The brown color goes with pretty much everything, from shorts to jeans and khakis. I can even get away with wearing them to work.

Flakey - The material inside the shoe at the toe started to peel off (came unglued?) on the 2nd day I wore the shoe. I really wish Zappos would give me a new replacement shoe, cuz I KNOW it was just that shoe. I've had Vans all my life and never remember that happening - At least not so quickly.

Simple says a lot - Very comfortable shoe; goes with most casual wardrobe styles, almost more comfortable than the slip ons!!

Good Stuff - These shoes are the definition of classic. They are plain but still comfortable. For this price you should buy one of each color. They can be worn anywhere with anything. Simply beautiful.

I LOVE 'EM! These shoes are so comfortable! I bought the blue and white descendents. I get so many compliments on them. Very stylish!

Excellent - Great casual shoes. Comfortable and stylish!

Cool design - These shoes fit great and look even better!

Classic vans - These shoes uphold typical Vans quality, with a unique yet stylish design. They are simple and comfortable. They are made for those who enjoy classic (old school) style with new exterior patterns

If you’re looking for a casual sneaker, this is a great one! There isn’t a ton of support, so I threw a 3/4 Superfeet insole into mine. The rainbow jersey color is so cute! I wanted a fun, casual shoe that wasn’t a plain, bright white, so these fit the bill. I wear a 7.5-8, sometimes bumping up to a wide width for comfort in the toe area. I tried both the 7.5 and 8 in this style and kept the 7.5. For additional reference, I wear an 8 in the Vans Old Skool and a 7 in Chuck Taylors.

I wear Vans all the time but for some reason these run a half size larger than normal. Otherwise great- intense fun color!

If you like snug fit - Room for only very lightweight sock. Narrow across toe. Perhaps 1/2 size larger would fit better. Nice looking shoe.

They were a Christmas gift for my son, and the shoes are already coming apart at the seams. Literally. I have to contact Zappos to return them. My understanding is that returning them is simple. I am hoping the next pair are built to last.

I love the fit. I had foot surgery a short time ago. I was looking for a shoe that would be comfortable, and I found these vans. Yeah!
