Customer Reviews Vans Authentic™

We bought these shoes for my daughter. She wanted some vans because they are trendy. I ended up inheriting them as she grew out of them quickly and i have to say they hurt on the top of my foot because the seam is really rough. I have to wear higher socks which doesn't look good with the style of the shoe. Not happy.

These hurt my feet. I stopped wearing them

Wrong shoe came 3 times in a row....instead of pink and purple, it came as yellow and purple... all three times! There must be some sore of inventory mess up. Customer support very nice though.

These were the style I wanted. I REALLY wanted to keep them, but-for me- they were a strange fit. I am a pretty standard 8 1/2 M and these were the right length but the toe box was really floppy. I could have lived with that if the trim around the laces didn't cut into the stop of my instep. . . no matter how loose I laced them. Very sad to have to look for another pair to take their place.

Pinched the top of my foot

The size was right on, the width was narrow. Back in the day I would go with Vans because of the nice roomy feel. You know for skating, now they are just narrow and uncomfortable. At least they were on sale.

They feel very uncomfortable to be honest and they run small so make sure you go up a size when ordering.

These are just OK. They are WAY more green than the picture makes them look. Comfort is so so, the style overall I like

I loved the way these looked! But they hurt the back of my ankle when I walked.. I ended up giving them to my boyfriend's daughter and ordering the Old Skool version of these.

Shoe bed and sole felt stiff and not much cushion inside. Really cute shoe. I am a woman looking for a multi-colored active wear shoe, size 11 or 12 medium. Ordered this shoe in a men's 10 medium. It fit but just didn't feel comfortable.

Shoe feels a bit bulky. maybe thats the authentic feel but makes the shoe bogg down and is very stiff. However, I do love the look. Just wish the material was softer.

Cute but wide in the heel and no support at all. Thank you for your great return policy!

I got the yellow suede finish. The suede gets dirty super easily, even after protecting it with suede protector. Love the bold color but the suede is not meant to be on sneakers.

These didn't work out for me and I so wished they did. I bought a men's 10/women's 11.5 and they just fit. I needed to size up. The size up isn't available and since Van's no longer makes this shoe in the gingham, I will likely not get it. :( I was even willing to suffer through the lack of arch support, because they are a seriously cute shoe. Here's to hoping that someone returns a 10.5 and I can pick it up.

Son likes the camo print

Nice looking shoes with good materials. However, the fit is tighter than expected. My daughter is wearing Vans bootie in size 9, so I ordered same size 9 for her for this style but they are tight on her feet both with width and length, especially with its length. Plus, when she loosened up the lace to fit her feet in, the lace becomes short and there is just enough to tie a small bow with very little lace ends left. I’ve returned them and my daughter chooses Converse intead.

My daughter who has wide feet goes with size 9 for a different pair of Vans but size 9 for this style feels a little tight on her feet so it would be more comfortable if she picks 9.5. The canvas is thick and sturdy. The level of comfort is good. One of the shoes has a hole along the edge because the binding is not fully stitched to the fabric edge. I want to exchange them for a half size bigger but the size she wants does not have the color she loves. I have to return these and look at a different style.

Had to send it back. Was too manly looking for this woman and uncomfortable to boot. Good news is Zappos made the return super easy!

Love the look of the sneaker. Size down 1/2size. There is minimal cushion and support so I wouldn’t wear if walking a lot. I had to return for size and they are on back order. Ordered from another site.

Badly made one shoes was taller than the other

My heels slipped and they had no arch . Loved the design and fabric so I am sad they didn’t fit.

I love these shoes! They are a little big and I will probably order another pair 1/2 size smaller. These will be fine when I wear thick socks. Oh, I did the "drop test" and one did land on its side... just sayin'

Stylish but not comfortable for walking for more than an hour. Flat shoes all in all so zero arch support. Won't purchase again personally.

The shows are very cute but very uncomfortable if you have any foot issues. I have plantar fasciitis and these shoes really made it worse. I would totally not recommend these if you are planning to walk long distance in these shoes. Your feet will ache and make it very hard to walk.

These shoes are a gift for my daughter so I do not know yet about the size and comfort, but I can tell you there is nothing "blue" about these Goblin Blue Vans. They are more a grey-green. Since she wanted blue ones, I'm not sure if we are returning them or not.
