Reviewed at Vans US
Great quality & super comfy & cute. Extra cushion. Leather outside & thick rubber soles. Great packaging.I love every pair of vans I've ever had. I highly recommend these!! Especially if you are on your feet a lot. I normally don't pay this much for shoes but I am glad I did. They will last me a long time.

I love this style of shoe and have another pair in a different color. I just didn’t like the pink lemonade color. That is the only reason I am returning them.

The shoes fit perfectly with plenty of room for my toes. They go great with jeans. Look very nice.

Too big had to return. Kind of clunky. I usually wear between 9-10 I ordered 9.5 and they were huge.

These shoes look great, feel comfortable and fit well. I think my only complaint is I'm so used to very lightweight gym shoes and these feel a little heavy. I think personally for me I wish they were a bit lighter. However, they are comfortable and I enjoy wearing them.

Cool Blue Coral color and classic Vans design but didn’t quite fit my narrow feet and provide the support needed. Will probably try a high top style to see if the fit is better.

I originally did not like these shoes because they were very uncomfortable. However, I kept wearing them to see if comfort would improve as you continue to wear them. I would say I like them much more after a few months of wearing them every couple of days.

they look cute online, but they kind of weird on my feet; i cannot even really explain it; they just look odd - maybe because i wear a 12 in women's & my feet are just too big to look cute in these shoes

I feel so awesome wearing these shoes! I got a pair of cute pink check and wear them with my blue with white polk-a-dot pants. I love looking down at my pink checks against my blue with white polk-a-dot pants. These shoes are not the most comfortable but I put insoles in them and I can go the whole day just fine. The material is a canvas type material that is easy to wipe clean. Love these shoes! :)

These are cute! I like the gummy bottom and the off white color. Can dress them up or down. I feel they would be a 1/2 size too large if I stuck with my normal size. I ordered a women's 9.5 but normally wear a 10 and they fit just right.

I bought theses for my son and was kinda disappointed he had to settle for theses when he really wanted other vans but for almost 2 months his size was always out of stock and I was never notified when more came in to purchase in his size. There should be the same quantity of shoes in each size and if out of stock then people hired to work for Zappos should keep a eye on what to get in stock quicker than 2,3 or 4 months later. I only hope bc my son chose theses shoes here he's happy with them bc theses prices aren't just prices you throw money out on for this or that shoe money isn't made on trees. Thank you. Hope more out of stock shoes become available after this review.

These shoes are absolutely stunning. However, I had to return them. They do not fit my chubby feet. The top was so tight it hurt! Keep in my mind my feet are not that chubby just a bit more than most. The shoes were so stiff over all.

The color is more true to the name than the picture. Green, but a blue-gray-green. I think these are all really men’s shoes, so they just feel a little off for me. I’m a 9, so I got the 7.5 but they’re a tiny bit big (will try 7s) and clunky. Wish they were made specifically for women.

This earn major stars in style points. The authentics are so much better than the department store cookie cutter Vans. They are lighter and less cumbersome. As a female, I would say these run a half size large, but are quite narrow, so the fit can be tricky. I stuck with my usual size 9's.

Fit was good but the canvas uppers offer very little support. That's because they're canvas. Unrealistic expectation on my part. Shoe is good.

Love the colors of the "Dark Aura"! I am a true 7.5M, but in Vans, I am a 7. Don't know why? I purchased the 7.5M and need to wear a thick insert (with an arch support). You may consider sizing down half a size :)

Vans are of the few who keep true to size, according to Brannick device. Globe and Etnies require a full size up. If you are a 10 1/2 get a 10&1/2 or 11. I am a 10.5 and bought 11.5 thinking they were sized like normal athletic shoes. They are big but still comfortable and not sloppy. So the perfect size can be flexible,
