My 7 year old dark purple Vans needed to be replaced- salt water, bbq sauce and grass stains had taken their toll! Easily ordered on-line, quick delivery with easy tracking- only to be disappointed with the color. Not "dark purple". The Authentics I received were more raspberry colored! Took into my local Vans and the friendly staff easily exchanged for another pair in a different color. Hopefully black will hide future bbq sauce stains!

I like sneakers with dresses, shorts, and jeans. I love white sneakers, but I have kids... This French Oak color is such a perfect neutral and looks good with everything from distressed jeans to mini and maxi dresses. Comfort-wise, they fit true to size for Vans and have the same solid, flat insole. I still can't figure out with all the insole technology and the type of insoles the kids shoes have, why I must suffer in discomfort or buy insoles to make Vans work. Love the style, but point off for the lack of comfort.

It's ridiculous Vans doesn't make their classic early 80s navy and red off the wall design a staple again. C'mon do it

I’d say based on other shoes I wear these run a bit large.

I am going to wear these on the daily! Well, put them in the regular Vans rotation! Not only are they super cute but too comfy! All Vans are. True to size, great support and AMAZEBALLZ designs!

My wife and I always buy matching Vans. We love them! Currently we have 6 matching pairs. Our next purchase will be the Pewter! It's a great product and we love how they feel on our feet! So light and stylish. We always get comments when we wear our Vans!

Vans need to have this color as a standard. I love this green. I only wear vans authentics. They're comfortable and compliment anything I wear

These run big! I normally wear a size 7 in Vans and I ended up having to exchange them for a 6. Also, there is a super prominent seam on the inside of the shoe where the back of the heel rests. Hurts a lot to walk in them but hopefully once I break them in they won't be so bad. They are extremely cute though and I get compliments every time I wear them!

Nicely made, my only complaint is the upper heal edge in back curves in instead of more up and down straight and is very uncomfortable.

These were very cute in person but a lot roomier than most Vans I own. I need to wear thick socks. The bulky sole also makes them a bit harder to walk in. Next time I'll half size down on this style!

i really like the design of these shoes, but you do have to wear no show socks and my feet slip around in these wearing my normal shoe size. would probably size down a half of a size.

I can't tell if the Jolly Roger's are good quality yet, it's either similar to the mall kiosks or it's great we'll see if they start falling off.

I've been buying Vans slip-ons, size 8.5, for decades now, and these are definitely a little roomy/loose fitting compared to other models. The length is fine, but my heels lift out of the shoes when walking. So I put a thin cushion insert in them, and now everything's fine. Plus, the insert makes them more comfortable, so I'm happy.

One of the few shoes that fit my unusual sized foot. I've gone from a 5 or 5 1/2 wide to a 6 as I've gotten older, and thank goodness because 5 wides are hard to come by. These size 6 mediums fit me well as long as I wear thin no-show socks. I've also tried the Vans classic slip-on, but the fit is not the same as the lace-up, and I cannot wear them.
I'd also recommend:
Naot wide

Comfortable, easy to break in, lower maintenance than a pure white shoe—I like the casual feel. If you’re looking for a whiter, more structured/rigid Authentic, try the comfycush Authentic.

I'm a collector. I bought the stranger things shoes and was very disappointed because the box was cut when I received them.
