Customer Reviews Vans Authentic™

I love Vans. The grey Vans was an addition to the collection of my colorful collection of shoes. They were comfy and the right fit.

These shoes are great and super cute. I got so many comments on them. the only bad thing is the laces are kind of cheap but that's about it. totally worth the money :)

Very, very, very happy with my purchase. I had only gotten the 4-5 day shipping but Zappos upgraded me to the air saver shipping so the shoes came to me in about 2 days! The shoes are very comfy. I looked everywhere for this shoe and they either had no sizes or stopped carrying the shoe. I’m a size 6.5 in womens and I got a 5 in mens. Sizing can be a bit funny so maybe try in stores if you have time.

These shoes are absolutely my favorite! I wanted some colorful sneakers to replace my old converse and these were the perfect choice. The colors are adorable and they look even cuter when I have them on!

Great fit and good looks! I got the Navy color pair (dress blues, true white) and wear them exclusively without socks. For guys, this is the only way to go. They look great with shorts and short sleeve shirts.

Vans shoes have never let me down. These are perfect for everything you do. Light weight, good fit, and the canvas breathes. Vans Classics and Old Skools are still my favorites because they aren't thick shoes that feel like you are wearing weights on your feet. Zappos shipping was extremely fast, and the free shipping rocked!

I already had a pair of Vans and they were black. These are just like any other Vans, they are good for any weather, and I think they are pretty true to size. The only thing is that they look darker in the picture than they really are.

Just like any other Vans you've ever own. Similar built, style, comfort, and feel. Awesome colorway, love the angled stripe lining--not available in most stores. Only negative issue would be with the color. It tends to fade during daily wear.

A perfect casual shoe. I find that I wear my Vans for almost everything. I love the wide range of colors.

I love this shoe! If you are a tennis shoe girl like me, you will find it goes with everything. It makes for a cute, smart look while being comfortable at the same time.

These shoes are excellent! I've owned many pairs of Vans and their simplicity and comfort keep me coming back for more. They break in pretty quick and are super stylish too.

I love these shoes, first time I wore them they were a little tight on the left side of my left foot, but I have big feet. They fit perfectly true to size. Doesn’t hurt when I wear them now. I always get compliments. If you’re thinking about buying them, do it. They are relatively cheap and worth the money.

Very clean, very nice. Not too bad to clean even though the tops are fabric. I am thinking of buying another pair just to keep for special occasions.

These Van's came exactly as promised, very high quality, size was perfect. I ordered them as a gift and my son was very surprised at how well he actually liked a brown color. He had no less than 5 friends within 2 days ask where he got them and they wanted a pair EXACTLY like his! Thanks

I LOVE these shoes! This was my first pair of Vans and they won’t be my last! They are very true to size, maybe just a teensy bit bigger than size, but not by much. The color is awesome! I have gotten sooooo many compliments on the vivid blue and I just love them!

How do we love you, let us count the ways... we love VANS to the height and depth their rubber soles may reach!!! (except for the separation issue - VANS people, you gotta work on that) - for their fit, finesse and fashion-forward attitude! We love them for the many cool colors, too! We love them because they fit our kids’ diverse personalities, yet they can be counted on to offer both our daughter and son a great looking casual - every day school shoe! Our 13 yr old daughter digs this purple VANS AUTHENTIC shoe as it has got ample toe-room for wearing real socks (as opposed to thin shoe-liner type foot wear), and gives her wide foot plenty of comfort during the day. Her 13 yr old brother (twins) wears this same shoe in a different color combo because it is comfortable, too, even though he has a narrow foot - the laces make it adjustable enough for him. These are neat looking, not sloppy oversized Franken-boot looking things, and yet they’re hip enough for both kids to wear them to school, to dances, and yes, even to dinner with us old fogey parents! My kids don’t do skateboarding as we live in CT and there aren’t many flat-level surfaces except at schools/parking lots to do that. Some skateboard parks, but not around us. KUDOS to VANS for keeping the kids happy. NOW ONE THING - PLEASE NOTE - THE OUTER RIM OF THE SOUL DOES WEAR FASTER THAN MOST SNEAKERS AND TENNIS SHOES. We have had to super-glue this on, many times, with the multitude of VANS that we buy. So, we wish the sole would last longer than the canvas body - but other than that, we love the shoe. Good price, too. NOT A GYM shoe and not good for hiking, but SUPERB for everyday ordinary school.

Looked all over for these "purple Vans". This was an item my granddaughter really wanted for Christmas. A friend had told me about Zappos many months ago. Once I went on Zappos and found these I was so excited. They came so quickly, with free shipping, too! I am a more than satisfied customer. Have recently ordered the "Skecher Shape Ups" for me. I love the fact that I can make my purchases online instead of searching all over the mall for shoes. Thanks Zappos, you have saved me many miles of driving and not to mention all the time I have saved!

These were a Christmas gift for my little brother. Not only did he love them, but he got many compliments on them the first time he ever wore them out. They fit him great as well, true to size.

The shoes were a Christmas gift for my daughter and it was nice to tell her if they didn't fit or she didn't like the color she could return, or exchange for no charge.

This is an amazing shoe! It goes with anything and everything. It is wide and comfortable. I recommend getting a half size bigger than normal.

I purchased these shoes to give as part of a Christmas gift. My grandkids love these shoes and they have had many pairs. Thank you to Zappos for notifying me when they came back in stock!

The shoes came in the right size and color, but they have a stain on them. The shoe itself is perfect (I haven't worn the stained ones but I own others), but I need to return it because of the stain.

Vans rock! Vans Authentic shoe holds a perfect balance of comfort and classic style. They feel true to size, lightweight and fairly durable. I own a couple of pairs that I have been wearing frequently for years and they are still going strong and looking good. I recently purchased a pair in a specialty fabric to coordinate with my casual work attire and when worn to the office, they become the day's conversation piece. They are so prone to so many stares and compliments that it is difficult going through a day unnoticed.
