Very nice look and feel, except like leather/pleather there's a breaking in period, but after that they're true to fit.

Awesome pair of classic Vans. The colors really pop. I bought them as a gift for my sister. I would advise going half a size down.

EXCELLENT. First time ordering with Zappos, and definitely won't be the last! Was surprised that I received them less than 2 days after ordering, and the shipping was free!

Only found this unique style on Zappos and not even in our local Vans store. My daughter has been asked by many people where she got them and I'm sorry to report that she deflects the question with "not sure...my dad got them for me". Doesn't want everyone getting in on her find! Excellent ease finding what she wanted, sizes, color, and best for me was the PRICE, SERVICE, and SPEEDY DELIVERY! Always awesome. As for the shoes and they're original Vans. Simple style, not a lot of arch support, great durability and they usually are a little wider than other shoes (just a bit).

These are nice looking shoes that provide all day comfort even with thin socks. I am on my feet all day and am very pleased with the support these shoes offer.

It's a Vans Authentic. Some canvas shaped like a shoe that'll last a year, maybe. That said, I haven't worn anything else since I can remember nor have I shopped inside an actual shoe store in equally as long. Why bother when you got Zappos? Ultimate selection, free shipping - can't beat it.

Great for casual/vacation wear. Fit was good with limited support, but that is not a surprise. They stayed clearer and the fabric appears more durable than expected. I am very happy with them.

As usual a good shoe. Just a cool twist to a classic. Gold eyelets are an awesome accent along with the gum sole. Great for casual wear or slightly dressed up!

I bought these for my 15 year old son. He liked the colors. Was surprised to see the bright pink sole but got over that quickly. Nice pair of shoes. They look great with skinny jeans.

I love these shoes! I used to wear these as a kid, and they haven't changed much in 30 years. Still no nonsense and comfortable. And they look great with or without socks, with jeans or shorts. They run a little big though. I had to order a half size smaller than I wear in Nikes and most dress shoes.

I love these shoes! They were true to size and were comfortable the minute I put them on! I am on my feet all day and they are awesome! Zappos has the best customer service too! I order all of my son's shoes from Zappos, and I love that I get them the very next day with free returns if they don't work out. I am a very happy customer!

I bought these shoes for my grand-daughter. Since we live in different states we texted back a forth a zillion times trying to pick the right shoe in the right color. After she decided on the pair shown, it was then up to me to find the shoes at the best price and right size. I remembered buy from your site before so I gave it a try. Yes, there they were right size, right price, and right free shipping. She loves them and they are perfect. I was afraid they would be too narrow for her because she has a wide foot but they fit great. Love your online site. Thanks!

I bought these shoes for my girlfriends birthday. They came on time (as always) and
Perfect in the box. The color is exactly what it looks like in the picture. It's everything you want from Vans.

Love these shoes! They are a little stiff, but fit TTS and look great. I ordered and received them in less than 24 hours! Perfect!

I love these shoes! They're pretty comfy, though the seam between the laces and the front toe area does rub on the top of my foot and irritates it a bit when I wear them without socks. Nothing to prevent me from wearing them, though! The shape is great, very versatile. I also love the tiger print - gets me compliments all the time.

I ordered these for my teenage kid, loves them! And the basic shipping is incredibly fast! I would say they run about a half of size too big but other than that, perfect.

This is my first pair of Vans and they are so comfortable. What have I been missing all these years? I was afraid they wouldn't fit because of the mens/womens sizing but I followed the chart and they were perfect. I can't wait to buy some more!

Had to return for a smaller size. Theses Vans ran big. As usual, Zappos is quick and easy for returns and exchanges.

I absolutely adore these and the color, the style, the fit, everything! I'm a mom and I need to run around after my kids, but I want to be stylish while doing and these shoes definitely give me that. I receive many compliments on the purple color, which is my favorite and true to the image on the website. I love these.

This is a great 'run around' shoe. It does not accommodate my orthotic though. If you don't have foot problems, this is a wonderful shoe.

My second pair of Van's in a year. The first pair in pewter really got beat up with a lot of stains. I wore them every place (I live in Fl.) because they're so comfortable. I like that they have a very flat sole. This time I got Waxed Black which should be almost stain free. The laces on them also are a lot better.

My 11 year old daughter loves these shoes. She goes to a private school, so I switched out the laces and wolah!!
the only negative, and I'm not sure if it's the shoe or just her foot, but they do rub right in the back on top.
