Customer Reviews Vans Authentic™

These cannot be beat! Authentics are the way to go, for Vans! I wanted the floral print, but they did not have my size 10... I had never tried the Authentics before, so I went with a 9.5, just hoping they would fit because I HAD TO HAVE THE FLORAL PRINT! They fit me PERFECT! I wear 10's in other Vans styles, so I would say these run a 1/2 size bigger because they fit like 10's. I feel like these run a BIT wider, perhaps? I struggle with width... but these fit perfectly, and they did not feel like I would need to 'break them in' like the other styles I have worn. 10/10! I love these shoes!

VERY glittery!! I bought these thinking they would have a slight shimmer and they were straight glitter. Pretty shoe, but not for a 30-something year old like me.

I love these shoes. Very comfortable. I need wide shoes for comfort and since these are unisex, they seem roomier. I love zappos. No regrets.

Not for wide feet. After a month-long attempt with one size because I love the look so much, I tried a hail-mary going up a 1/2 size to no avail. Feels okay for an hour or two, maybe even a day at the office. But walk the dog or do something that requires 20-30 minutes of walking and you'll quickly understand why this shoe is not going to work anatomically. Still rating high because it looks and feels great, at least at the beginning. Can't blame the shoes for my wide feet.

I loved getting these shoes from Zappos. The customer service was amazing and even got a hand written thank you card for my purchase for my sons 1st birthday donut themed party. These shoes were perfect and loved by all. Comfortable and such a cute design with the donuts.

My 13 year old son wears these daily - has them in lots of colors. They fit true to size. While Vans are not known to have a lot of arch support, it is a non-issue. Worn all day, every day and no complaints. They are stylish, washable and durable. The color is a nice alternative to black or grey - a good neutral.

My husband likes these so much, he ordered another pair - a blue slip-on. He wears these every chance he gets!

The shoes feel pretty good and they look great. It's a very rich black and the gold makes it really stand out even if it's over all very simple design.

Love Vans shoes, especially the ones that have an extra little something that gives them character. I usually wear an 8 or 8.5, with Vans I go up to the 8.5. Little to no arch support, but I have high arches and that doesn't pose a problem for me with these shoes.

After purchasing the Vans slip-on shoes from Zappos and loving them, I decided to try the Vans Authentic. I like the shoes, so much that I do not wear them that often. They are definitely attractive and comfortable. The shoes can be dressed up or down and provide the comfort I need. This shoe is so popular, everyone who owns a pair or two cannot be wrong. Try them!

Zappos is awesome to work with. The shoes were exactly as stated, arrived on time, discovered they were the wrong size, they make returning a breeze.

I love these shoes! I just ordered my second pair since the Digi Floral was getting a bit out of season. I usually hate wearing shoes without socks, but these seemed to work out just fine. I have lived in them during this transitional season since they look so great with crop/ankle jeans. Just received my Guate Stripe pair - absolutely adorable. But be warned if you are obsessive about patterns lining up. the front of the two shoes will not be the same. At first I was not sure that I would be OK with that - but seriously when do you ever stand with your feet together?!?!?

I've been a Vans fan for a while, and bought these to replace an older, worn-out pair of slip ons. I ordered my normal size and they fit perfectly. Style-wise, they're great - classic and cute but not overly trendy. I bought the grey wool/flannel which is great for fall. Exactly what I wanted and as I expected they'd be. Fast shipping from Zappos as always.

These are an extremely nice pair of shoes. I wore them once to work and got a few compliments on how nice of a pair of shoes they are. The laces are like rope laces instead of the standard laces you would get with most skate type shoes. Gives the shoe a much more elegant type of feel, almost like a fancy-occasion-type of shoe. The shoe isn't as grey as the picture makes it out to be, they have a slight green tint to them. Very very slight tint. The leather trim is also a nice added feature and makes the shoe more comfortable. Definitely recommend these shoes.

I really love these! The blue is like old denim, classic stars, the thinner laces... I love everything about these shoes!

My daughter loves her cork Vans. We are glad that the image is in the material unlike other brands.

Awesome customer service. I could not ask for better. My teen grand daughter loved the shoes and so did her high school buddies. I I love the service of getting my packages so quickly. Love you Zappos!

Only the most awesome shoes ever! So versatile and I get tons of compliments. Also, I'm 32 so they are not just for kids.

I've owned five pairs of Vans. I buy them for the looks and comfort, not for the "support" of an athletic shoe. These are used strictly for daily use/walking. These pair is really cool because everyone thinks they are real cork (they aren't, just printed on canvas)! They 100% run a 1/2 size large. I wear a 12 in every other shoe but I wear a 11.5 with Vans. These are a fun daily shoe but don't have the support of a running shoe or other, more supportive skate shoe (Emerica and Etnies). Great shoe all around. Stylin' for sure!

I bought these for my teenager to take to sleep away camp. She loves them as they are cute and comfy! They do run a bit large so we purchased 1/2 size down.

These shoes fit great, I've had they for about a year now, so obviously there's visible wear. But it makes the shoes look cooler. these are much more comfortable to wear without socks than the Vans Old Skool which I would also recommend.

Great graphic design. This is a staple of my style. Love so much I bought a backup pair for when I wear these out.

I love these shoes. They look good, feel comfortable and I have received compliments when I first wore them. Good value and happy with my choice to buy these. They did arrive with the laces done wrong and when I re-did the shoelaces they were very comfy.
