I absolutely love these shoes! These are my favorite style of shoes that Vans makes! I get compliments on them all the time even though they are such simple shoes. They can be worn with just about anything, especially the pewter color!

I love these shoes. Apparently I love them too much, because I've worn a hole in the side after only having owned them for three months or so. My feet are wide and apparently can't be contained by canvas. Curiously, I also have the regular "Authentic" style in the same size, which seem to be a little more generous in the sides, so we'll see if those develop holes too. Regardless, they are super cute and comfortable right out of the box. I like both these and the taller sole on the Authentic style; I still can't decide which I like best. The only thing I would do differently is to have got the Vans socks to go with them right away because I like the no-sock look and they got pretty filthy before too long of not wearing any. They did okay in the washer, but they'll never be as pretty as they were. Guess I'll just have to get another pair...or three.

I LOVE Vans and I LOVE Zappos. I'm on my second pair of vans right now and honestly I wish I could have them in every color because they go with everything! My only complaint with these shoes is... #1 they aren't super comfortable for a long period of time due to the lack of arch support. #2 Maybe it was because I wore them everyday but they wear out somewhat fast. #3 If you don't wear these shoes with socks they can become like a homemade stink-bomb. Other than that I recommend these shoes to anyone and everyone! And every future pair of shoes I buy will definitely come from Zappos.

Very tight and stiff fabric, not comfortable.

These are exactly what I wanted. Simple black shoe to wear with low or no socks. Required no breaking in. They are comfortable despite being a touch narrow for my wide(r) feet. They will give a bit as time goes on. Keds are back in style but I couldn't bear to go back to them after wearing them in 1988/1989! Vans are way more cool says this 40 year old non-skater woman!

These sneakers are the perfect casual walking shoes. I can see myself wearing them with jeans, shorts and dresses. They fit comfortably even though my feet are a bit on the wider side.

This is very comfortable and the color is nice. Perfect fit and true to size. I can wear this all day. Very feminine and perfect for most outfits whether it'd jeans, skirts, shorts and even dresses.

These shoes are exactly what I was looking for. I already owned a pair in grey but they were getting a little worn out after several years of wear. These arrived as expected and they do seem slightly larger than the previous pair that I purchased in the same size but they still fit. I LOVE the color! It's exactly as I was expecting.

I love this shoe! I just bought my second pair in about 6 months. Although I do wear them a couple times a week, I don't know that I should have had to replace them this soon. The 1st pair started to fray at the stitching.

I was really sad to have to send these back. They look awesome, as Vans usually do. And they were mostly comfortable. However, they seemed a little snug. I've been the same shoe size my whole adult life, and these are not my first pair of Vans, but I had to return them and try a half-size up, which worked fine for me.

This my first pair of vans and I love them. I have been a Toms girl ( over 20 pair) but they wear out so quickly . I saw the vans and thought I would give them a try. Love the style, color selection and the look. Just as comfortable as my Toms, but much more durable.

Bought these for my 14 year old skate boarder. He said that in the beginning the back was like cardboard but broke in quickly. The flat sole and zero support are uncomfortable to walk and run in but he says they are perfect for boarding. I've noticed that hes already worn a hole wear he drags his toe in three days of use. Next time probably find a Van product that may have a little thicker material in those spots where a skater will wear through first. He said he'd get another pair for skateboarding tho.

Nice looking shoe, good fit, back has no padding, so might not be comfortable for long distance walking with no socks (as I typically wear it).

Love this style. Exactly what I wanted. This style does have poor arch support though.

It took awhile for me to break these in. I have a smallish bunion on my left foot and find it to bother it only if I'm standing for long periods of time. The best way to stretch them out was wearing 2 pairs of socks and not tying the laces too tight. It's been several months now and I still like them.

Vans always rub the back of my heel with the first wear or so, but this is not a new issue. Once I have gotten over that, they are fine. I had a pair of Van Doren Authentics that I loved, and decided to go with these Lo Pro Authentics. While I like the shoes, and love the color, there is a big difference with the comfort and thickness of the soles as compared to the others I had. I did not realize when I bought the Lo Pros, but the amount of support that you get is significantly altered. It is not a bad thing, but just be prepared for a marked difference should you go to the Lo Pro. Overall, it seems like a good shoe with adequate support, but next time, I will go back to the regular Authentics.

I have been a Vans fan for quite a while, but recently the shoes seem to run a bit small! I have always purchased size 8, and they are tight to fit at first but when you break them in they are so comfortable! I purchased two pairs of the low profiles at the beginning of the summer and found them to be a bit small. Though that was odd, even after I broke them in they were still to small. So I ended up giving them away and just purchased these a half size larger and the fit is perfect! Don't know what's going on at Van's, but I now need a half size larger shoe in a style I have worn for years!

Converse are usually my go to shoes for everyday use. I decided to get these Lo Pros due to the Cosmic Galaxy design! While these are super cute and pretty wearable straight out of the box, these Vans are definitely not for long walks or to run around in (I play frisbee after work). These shoes look great and I've already gotten compliments on 'em. Lo Pros are perfect for walking short distances.

I found this to be a bit narrow, so had to return the original order and get a half size larger. Zappos Customer Service made this easy. For the shoe itself, very cool looking, though if I designed it, the rubber would be black to better complement the cosmos theme.
