Vans off the wall are great. I have received many compliments on my yellow Vans. Awesome customer service, super fast shipping. I will order from Zappos again and again...Zappos, you rock. Many thanks.

I absolutely love these shoes, but just a heads up, they're a bit pink. They aren't the most comfortable shoes, but having owned several pairs before that was to be expected.

This is a great shoe! Even though the insole is not removable, it still works with orthotics. I had to order a half size bigger to accommodate my orthotics. This shoe also runs a little small so I ordered a total of one size larger.

These are in a wonderful, fun, summer color. They are very comfortable for walking all over town and enjoying the season! They run true to size.

These shoes are very comofortable. They are lite, bouncy and fun!Perfect summer shoe. The sizing runs a bit small, I had to return the first pair and go up a half size. Also, I found the shoe strings to be a bit too long but other than that I love them. will definitely buy again, whenever the green is back in stock.

Love these sneakers. They are what I wear most days in spring, summer, and fall. I have another pair and had to wash them once. They still look good.

Been wearing vans authentic for years, they're super comfortable and a great value. This color way with the laces was a new one for me, the blue really pops.

I love these! They are the Vans I used to wear as a kid, but yellow! The color is bright and makes me smile every time I look at my feet. They are cute with jeans, shorts, capris, maybe even skirts/dresses but I haven't tried that yet.

Love my retro vans. The color is a beautiful salmon. I did change the shoe laces to white. The leather seamed a little bulky. They came with brown cloth laces also. I just prefer the white. I ended up sizing up a half size. I wasn't sure because of the rounded toe but it worked out better for me. As always GREAT service from Zappos!

This is my millionth pair of Authentic Vans. These are taking a while to break in and I keep getting blisters - ouch. But I am getting a lot of compliments on the sweet design/pattern. Will continue to buy Vans from Zappos!

I'm definitely a "VanBoy" for Vans shoes, this pair was my 16 pair. Festival season is getting ready to kick off for me and these remind me of all the hippie backpacks and hoodies I see there. The material is thicker than the normal canvas material that Vans come in. This was great for me because the upper is usually the first thing to go for me. Overall this is a great shoe no matter what color they are, but I have gotten a lot of compliments on them.

Great shoes. They are just as awsome as all my other pairs of vans era. Two bits of warning though. They are a little bit more pink and purple than they look in the picture and they match nothing. I would suggest jeans or cargo shorts with a solid colored top. Although they are hard to match with, I get a lot of compliments on them.

These shoes look good, but don't try to skate in them. Wasn't looking for a skate shoe out of these, but tried it the other day for the cruise into work and they weigh about 10 lbs a piece. Other than that, they're great all around shoes. Color is rad.

Vans is for sure my favorite brand of shoes. Ever. I've had various styles throughout the years, more recently owning a couple pairs of Authentic, a pair of the canvas slip ons, and a pair of TNT by Tony Trujillo. It's a brand I keep going back to because I've never had a problem with the quality, and though they aren't built like, say, a running shoe I still feel they're very comfortable and have decent support for the average foot. Especially after a few wears. I wear a women's size 10.5 in all Vans, and feel they're true to size as I also wear 10.5 in other brands of sneakers, such as PF Flyers (my favorite brand for high tops). As for the width, I feel they're also true. Years ago I tried on a pair of Keds because they were on sale but felt they run quite narrow. The Keds would have fit fine in a wide width, but they don't make size 10.5 and the 11 was too big. I've had no issues like that with Vans. So unless you're a hardcore skater (when I skated I preferred styles made with suede/leather for more stability and durability,) a pair of Authentics or their other canvas styles are great for everyday wear. I think they're a better canvas shoe than Keds because they're far more substantial feeling and have better traction. And as if the comfort wasn't good enough, Vans always has an amazing selection of colors and prints!

These are so cute. I get tons of compliments on them every time I wear them. They have a lot of colors and go with everything. I normally wear size 9 or 9.5 and got these in size 8, but probably could have worn size 7.5. They are big but I like them comfy so kept them. Very cute and you can just toss them in the washer as needed.

Nice alternative to the more "standard" greenish-blue color. For some reason these fit a little bit more snugly than my other 10 1/2 Vans but maybe it's all in my head. Great shoe, great color.

Classic kicks from a classic SoCal brand. Great shoes to mob about in. Dress them up or down. Can't go wrong with them for the summer time.

I love these shoes so much. My 4th pair of Vans I've bought this year and last year. I accidentally got a size too big though. But they still look great and are super comfy. I'm sure if I actually got the right size and didn't zone out on that part, they would be 100% perfect to me. But if you're going to buy these, I would get a product to water proof them, or a shoe cleaner for them. They get dirty really easy. Other than that, I love the color. I changed my shoe laces from white to Hot pink Vans laces, once I got tired of the white. Love 'em. They're my favorite Vans so far.

I love Van's because there is a wide range of colors and the shoe is comfortable with plenty of support while still being fun. So far I have purple and this blue but I'll be adding more!

Zappos never disappoints. I am a huge fan of the classic Vans, great shoes for a great price. I got what I needed in just 2 days and I am very satisfied. I will definitely continue to make purchases to Zappos. Best service on the net, hands down. Thank you for another great addition to my Vans collection!
