Customer Reviews Vans Authentic™

Looks weird because the bottoms and the laces are true white but the checkers are an off-white

I ordered a half size larger than normal, thinking I'd wear these with a padded insole for comfort. They were too tight across the top of my foot even without an extra insole.

I have had several pairs of Vans Authentic and find them to be a decent walking shoe with more support than Keds. The color of this particular pair (Drizzle/True White) wasn't what I expected based on the photos. I thought they would be more grayish beige similar to a pair I ordered from Zappos last year, but they are a straight gray with no warm tones.

I got these in the bird embroidery. They are super cute and fun! Fit true to size. I am a women's 10 usually and that's what I ordered.

I love these shoes! I'm an 8 1/2 which is what I ordered and they fit perfectly. The design is bright and fun. It has lots of colors so I can wear them with a wide variety of clothes. I'm a very satisfied customer!

It's a bit overpriced but it's simple and stylish. Can't go wrong going out with a pair of vans.

Fun embroidered bird pattern! Colorful & eye catching!! Typical fit for Vans of this style. Would recommend if you want some casual but a little flashy Vans for everyday wear.

The shoes run true to size and come a plethora of colors! They are also pretty durable and easy to clean.

Very cute in the Cuban floral, but makes my feet look HUGE! Back they go.

Hadn't tried on or wore Vans before, and I really liked the lavender color choice. So I ordered my usual size 9 and unfortunately it didn't fit correctly. It wasn't the size or width, it was how the shoe is made. The toe box part of the shoe was a little narrower than a regular tennis shoe. If I tried on a wider width, it would have fallen off my foot. Back it goes.

Great color for summer! Very comfortable and roomy for wide feet.

True to size, I like the different color vs the normal white bottom vans. There is not much to say besides if you had a pair of vans in the past its the same thing just different colors. Would buy again.

Bought these for my college-age son. He says they're very comfortable and he hasn't worn anything since else since they arrived. Because of that, I wonder how long they'll hold up -- they have a gum sole and canvas upper that seem better suited to more occasional wear. That may be the mother in me talking -- my son said he has a new favorite pair of shoes, and for the price, we're both happy.

Cute, fun shoes--I only wear occasionally as a novelty. There isn't any arch support so I'm not comfortable wearing them all day when I'm on my feet at work. A bit pricey considering the number of times I've worn them.

Love these vans! Very comfortable and look great paired with jeans. The color seems to be adaptable - sometimes they seem a lot more blue than grey, depending on the color of pants you were.

I love the look of these as I was looking for something really fun, but casual to wear. They are a little bit stiff, but hoping they loosen up with more wear.

These shoes are really stylish and pretty comfortable. They are a bit heavier than most shoes I own and for the small sizes at least, seem to run rather large. 1/2 to potentially full size larger if you get the women's 5. However, that's the smallest size, and I didn't return them since I like them and most brands don't make shoes that fit me :) I like that they are very easy to tighten and tie. I have only had them a few weeks so can't speak to how long they last, but I haven't ruined them yet, so that's a good sign.

Love the color of the Salmon pink ones! Very stylish.

These are very cute shoes, but oddly sized. I normally wear an 8½M, but with this shoe my heel slipped right out when I walked. I got the size 8M but they are a little snug. I am still not sure if I will keep these. I like them to fit right out of the box.

Excellent match for my Mr. Roger's costume. They claim they are Medium width, but I wear a 14 wide and the pair of size 14 I got from here were a comfortable fit; I didn't need to go up a size like I sometimes do with other brands. They are designed for lounging around or skate boarding, but I ran a 5 mile street race in them; they held up for the run, but they are definitely not a long term, intense running or walking shoe.

These are very cute with many outfits. There is not much support at all, but my inserts/orthotics fit in there just fine and that makes all the difference.

I ordered the espresso in a size 9 which is my comfortable size. However, I noticed as soon as I put them on that they felt like they didn't give my toes enough room on top, not in the the front -- they were long enough but not tall enough in the front. After keeping them on my feet for 1/2 an hour I could feel my toes going numb. Another reason I'm returning is that they don't give me the cushioning I need for the balls of my feet. Sorry to have to return them because they are very nice looking and the espresso is an especially lovely shade.

I thought that these shoes felt heavier than a pair of Vans I'd buy in stores. I can only wear socks that cover my ankles or else the back of them hurt and sometimes blister. However, the colors are stunning. I don't see anyone else that owns these.

These shoes run small. 7.5 usually slips off my feet - not these. Cute, but I don't have time before my trip to try another size.
