I love these shoes. The glitter is bright, colorful, and stays on the shoe very well. The only issue I had is that the glitter made the shoe fabric a bit more stiff than other vans and caused blisters while breaking them in.

Another favorite but you can never go wrong with Vans. The color is more of a reddish burnt orange and works great to make an outfit pop. The combo of a gummy bottom makes it all the better and I'll probably buy another pair

When I first saw these shoes, I didn't like the white laces or eyelets. After I tried them on I fell in love. These are very comfortable and stylish. I ordered in the color (Gumsole) Rosin/Light Gum.
I'd also recommend:
Converse, Keds, Toms

Super comfortable even though there isn't really much support. Width is normal to wide. From my experience, Vans canvas shoes wear out within a year, so I'm curious to see how long this particular style will last.

Stylish, beautiful and an all around hit. Casual without dressing too down. If you want fun and cute/cool this is the shoe for you.

This is the first time I've ever bought Vans, and I love them. I got the charcoal grey, and I think they are a cute, neutral everyday kind of shoe!

Love these shoes! I have been wanting a pair of glitter vans and finally pulled the trigger. The fit is great and they look adorable! My only complaint is that they take a bit of breaking in and my heels had blisters on them after a day of wear.

As a diehard supporter of Vans I love this spring pair with the swan print, perfect for casual afternoons goes great with basic wardrobe staples and a statement necklace.'

These are overall exactly what you'd expect form tradition Vans with one great twist, they have metal tipped laces! I always end up messing up my laces and these will total prevent that. It is such a little detail but just so peftect!

This is a great shoe. However, the size ran large for my foot. I've learned that Vans sizes run differently for some of their shoes of the same size.

Nice shoe. However, difficult to fit as these seem to be men's sizes and too roomy for a non wide foot. Too bad-love the stripes.

I'm female and wanted to match a pair of Vans I have that enable me to wear short (below the ankle) socks without looking dorky. I have to wear orthotic inserts which require socks. So after Zappos so kindly sent me a pair of Vans "Authentic" and a pair of Vans "Era," I realize that on both models, the laces are much lower on the top of the foot, and the sides are much lower, meaning my white shorty socks are pretty high up and- yep- it looks really dorky. So to get a pair of Vans that look okay with shorty socks, stick to an Atwood style of Vans. Also, the toe box is significantly lower on the Authentics than on the Atwood, with less room above the toe.

These are my happy shoes! Adorable print, typical Vans, true-to-size fit. No, no arch support (why only 4 stars for comfort), but they're not meant for walking. Fast shipping from Zappos, as always.

I bought these for my granddaughter's 14th birthday. I understand she has worn them everyday since getting them. Now that's a 5 Star rating!

Bought these for my 10-year old granddaughter after the slip-on style proved much too narrow. By the time I re-ordered the tie style (a day later) she had changed her mind about wanting the "doughnut shoes" and wanted these instead (because they are pink, her favorite color). These shoes are a hit, they fit perfect on her slightly wide foot. She wears a big kids size 4 but I ordered an adult size 5 for this style and they fit fine. She says she plans to wear them every day until school is out.
