Customer Reviews Vans Authentic™ Lo Pro

These are classic shoes. I've had 2 or 3 pairs now. They're comfortable and really go with anything, from jeans to a dress. (Then again wearing sneakers with everything is "my thing".) That said, these shoes are not durable, I'm lucky if they last a year. They easily develop holes and the sole becomes unglued. For that reason I don't think I'm going to buy them again for a while.

Cute style, great color (tawny port), and ridiculously long laces. I do like these shoes quite a bit, but they hit me wrong on my Achilles and rub if I wear them sockless, and I have to chose the absolute right style of sock, otherwise they are too snug. Only thin trouser style socks work, that come up to at least my ankle bone. Liner socks that work for me in other shoes get sucked down into the heel with these shoes, and if I try to get away with a hastily grabbed pair of black athletic socks and boot cut pants my poor little toes get pinched. These shoes also have absolutely ZERO arch support or cushioning of any kind. They remind me a lot of the cheap Payless shoes my mom bought me in the 80s, except these are a much more fun color.

These shoes are horribly uncomfortable. I kept thinking I'd wear them in, but there are hard bits that press into the top of my foot.

This is my 3rd pair of these shoes. Very comfortable, but this particular pair feels narrow. My big toenail always ends up rubbing a hole into the top of the shoe, but not before I get a lot of wear out of them

These Vans are perfect for those times I don't want to put on my bulky running shoes. However, after washing them once they felt a little tight (but only when I wear thick socks). The rubber seams on the sides did come apart from the side of the shoes after normal wear and tear - normal for Vans after wearing them almost every chance I got! Overall, these shoes are great for slipping (or tying) your feet into after a long day. :)

a little more narrow than your typical vans.

Comfy but not that stylish. After 1 month of use it changed it shape and became ugly

The color is great, very versatile but I did not like the look profile style. They look too much like the keds I wore as a kid and not Vans. THESE also were not very comfortable, they flexed wrong on my foot as I walked, thought that would become a problem if worn too long.

These shoes are comfy and cute. The material is pretty thin and so is the sole. That doesn't bother me a ton, but they didn't become my everyday sneakers like I thought they would. Ultimately I'd say they're good, but not great.

This "unisex" shoe is very nice looking overall, but looks strictly like a woman's shoe. It also runs very small. I ordered it for myself (a fellow), and felt that they looked too feminine, at least to me.

I've had these sneakers for about a year now. They fit me really well--I seem to have a narrow heel and wide toes, and it's hard to find a shoe that fits around my heel without squashing my toes. They're also very comfortable and good for walking around all day. I think this is that rare sneaker that fits in with skirts and dresses. Quality is just okay. By this point, there's a large rip in the side of the shoe where the canvas meets the rubber. I'd think about buying these again, but might try some different brands to see if I can find something more durable.

I had purchased the original van authentic in black and thought I would try the Lo Pro (which was more womanly). It fit great, very comfortable, but the toe box must be different enough as they wore sores on the top of my second toe when I wore them without socks. Perhaps they will be fine in fall & winter when I want to wear socks, but right now -- they will wait for fall. Sorry, but thanks.

Love the design of all the floral Vans Lo Pro. Not a fan if the fabric. Made slightly cheap for the price. They gape on the outsides outside of my feet. May not happen with the next purchaser considering my feet are very flat and ankle is sits awkward. Therefore I am returning. The Lo Pro has less coverage fabric around top of shoe.

I love the look of these Vans. However, the fit is not comfortable. No arch support. My heels were aching like I had been walking on concrete all day. They run really narrow too. So...if you don't need arch support, have narrow feet and don't mind hard hitting heels, then get these cute shoes. But cute is really all they are. I wore them out and about a few times thinking I could wear them in, so I could not return them.

Zappos is a great company to buy from. Got the product when it was promised, very professional staff to work with. Thanks to Zappos! The shoe on the other hand did not hold up as well as expected. Got a hole in the toe in no time at all. Not the best quality shoe.

I normally wear a 9.5M. I had to get this in a 10.5M to fit. Runs a full size small. And if you have slightly chubby toes or toes that are a bit raised, forget it. There is NO toe room. My toes scraped the inside top of the toe box & would have eventually turned red & blistered as usual. I know these are "Lo", but I didn't think they'd be that low. Back they go.

These shoes look really cool, but do not seem to hold up to standards I am used to from the Vans brand. The sole essentially has no arch. There is no padding on the inside of the shoe where the achillies tendon rubs, above the heal area, like other Vans have. They also seem narrow.

I ordered these in the black and grey leopard print and they are just the cutest! Not comfy, though. They had no arch support and were quite narrow. I tried to put insoles in but that made them even more uncomfortable. Sending them back, but they might work for someone with a narrower foot. :(

I have big feet. 10.5 womens. I bought the men's 9 and my toe was all the way to the end. Returned for the 9.5 mens and the toe box felt like it was pushing down on my toenails. There wasn't enough wiggle room for my toes. Loved the styling and color, but returned for a pair of Ugg's in the same color. They haven't come yet, but I am hoping the toe box is roomier!

These are very cute shoes but they are very small and extremely tight! I am so disappointed. I have the identical shoes in black and have worn them regularly for a year and they fit fine. I can barely get the red ones on. What happened? I am returning these.

I've had my vans for about a month and after daily use some of the canvas inside the shoe has started dangling off. It's at the toe and it sort of just started peeling off.

NOT for wide feet. These are VERY narrow for a unisex sneaker. The "item information" should mention that the Vans Authentic™ Lo Pro are a half-inch narrower than Vans Authentic™. I ordered an 8.5 Men's/10 Women's. The shoe is only 3.5" wide at the widest part. My feet are 4" wide, so they're going back.

I didn't even try these on. They were a nice soft coral color in the picture, but they are very bright and neon colored. Too bright, sent them back.

Too box too shallow.

These shoes were almost trash after wearing for 3.5 months every other day. Sole pulled away from canvas. Shoe starts to look and feel slouchy.
