Customer Reviews Vans Authentic™

These shoes are amazing! I have several pairs and I love them. Some reviewers are saying the shoes are uncomfortable, but you just have to break them in. I hated mine at first, but a full day of walking around the mall in them did the trick. I finally bought a new pair because I wore my previous pair until they were nothing! They're comfortable and guys look hot in them. So please, buy these shoes!

Great classic with a punch - These are the Vans of my childhood...the classic never go out of style Vans...only in bright sunshine yellow. They are canvas and rubber and have little to no arch support, but they are cool and great with jeans and shorts and skirts, and they come in so many amazing colors and patterns...Try them, they will become a staple in your shoe wardrobe.

Zappos is rad! These Vans are great; they are true to size, comfortable and stylish. Zappos also made purchasing these shoes simple, and they arrived super fast.

Cute and comfortable - Very comfy, very cute. The classic Vans always fit well, especially good if your feet are a little wide. I got the color shamrock and it is a very nice bluish green, very springy!

Great Shoe - My daughter was very happy with her new green Van's. The arch support very comfortable.

LOVE THESE SNEAKS! I'm a little pudgy with small feet, and these sneakers make me look a little more even. I think they're really cute anyway, and they're quite comfortable. You can dress them down with jeans or jazz them up with a snappy summer outfit.

Vans Watermelon Print - I don't buy anything with the hopes of drawing attention to myself. Everything that I buy I do so because I like it. With that being said, know that if you cop these, you will definitely be the victim of people staring at you no matter where you are. LOL. I absolutely love these sneakers. They are comfortable which is most important. No matter where I went...train, bus, into a store, walking down the street, to my godmother’s house...people were staring, pointing, and whispering. I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing, but I know I love my watermelon print vans :)

These shoes are great, but don't try to water proof them because the sole will turn yellow.

The best "basic" Everyone needs a basic shoe and this is one of the best. Good looking, well made, and goes with everything. It works for guys and gals and they are coming out with more colors all the time. My family has been wearing these for years.

Classic Classics! I am so happy Vans is one shoe company that sticks with the styles that made it famous. When the Authentics arrive on my porch I take a short trip back to the 60's. Thank U!

No regrets at all for my 1st Vans - I see these shoes around campus all the time on girls and guys. These shoes seem to have gained much popularity over the years and I thought it was finally time for me to get some new shoes. I haven't gotten a new pair of shoes since January of 2007! When I found that Zappos had such a variety of colors I was pleased to find that the Suede Wood Thrush color suited me the best. They were also a color that I didn't see people wear. This was my first time ordering from Zappos and I'm glad I ordered from here. They had a wide selection of sizes and colors and also had the lowest price of any online vendor. I think it's great how Zappos gives you free shipping both ways just in case the shoes don't fit or something. My shoes took a little over 5 days to arrive but it was still a speedy delivery. When I tried my Vans on for the first time I noticed that they were a tad bigger than I thought. That didn't matter though because it was still a very comfortable feeling on my feet. These shoes go great with anything that I wear and I've gotten a lot of positive comments about them. I'll definitely be picking up more pairs of Vans Authentics from Zappos in the future!

Love Zappos! I have ordered quite a few pairs of shoes from Zappos. I can always find the style I want, and of course, they don't always work, but the free shipping and great service allows me to make returns and still love Zappos. I have ordered 3 pair of Vans for me and I will order more for my children. This is a great casual, hip shoe. I'm so glad it made a comeback from the 80's! Your service is top of the live Zappos! Thank you!

Skateboarder shoe - I ordered these shoes for my son, a skateboarder who goes through a lot of shoes very quickly. We got them the very next day in the mail and it was on a holiday too! I love Zappos service - each time I've ordered, it gets even faster!

Awesome - I just got my shoes about 2 weeks ago and I've been wearing them ever since! They are so comfy, as Vans always are! The look, color and style are exactly what I was looking for! The only problem with the shoes is that the color bleeds onto your socks, even when it's not raining!

I purchased these shoes for my daughter who has an extremely large foot for a young female. They were very comfortable for her and there was no "breaking in" period. She is also flat footed and has a hard time finding shoes that work for her. I am very pleased with the service I continue to receive from Vans. Thank you

Suede Van Shoe - The color is more like a burgundy then a chocolate. We new this prior to buying the shoe from seeing it in the store not having our sz. Hope this helps for those not having that opportunity. Great shoe, style comfort and aver all look. We are great fans of the vans.

Fabulous shoe! It's got a great stable base/heel and rubber soles to keep me from wiping out on the polished floors at work! I was looking for a patent black pointy-toe pump with an element of interest and this shoe certainly fits the bill with the cut-out near the heel! Very sexy shoe... but still work appropriate.

I love Vans. They have the best colors and styles. I got the orange ones. I can wear either a size 7 or 7.5 so I tried a 7. I got blisters the first day, but now that the shoes have loosened up, they fit great. I bought another color in the 7.5 and they fit perfectly without any blisters. In my opinion these shoes are true to fit. If you're in between half-sizes, I would recommend choosing the bigger size.

Shoe is good so far. And the main criteria for a shoe was met, comfort. The slip-on I had before scrunched up my toes and was somewhat annoying, but this one offers plenty of room up front.
