Customer Reviews Vans Authentic™ Lo Pro

Disappointed. My child wore these sparingly and less then 3 weeks into wearing them a tear started forming near the side. Called Zappos and I couldn't believe the customer service. They allowed me to return them and we went with a better quality Adidas sneaker.

I bought these to replace a previous pair with the same name but different SKU (#7417515) which I LOVED and wore until they fell apart. Perfect for walking around the city, super comfortable and very cute. Always received compliments and my feet were happy. But...these are different shoes. I'm not sure what happened, if they changed the last or if this is a unisex version, but the first pair I received were very large and the sole and trim were much chunkier, making the shoe much stiffer. I ordered a size down, which fit, but was not as cute as the previous version but it worked. I wore them around on vacation to SF, and they absolutely shredded my feet. The soles have no flex, and the upper is also stiff. I bled through these at the toe crease whenever I wore them. Yes, I wore these to the point of bloodshed multiple times. I wanted them to work but they never broke in so lesson learned. (Zappos has great customer service, but I think bloodstains are beyond the scope of their return policy) So, if you're looking for the cute low profile, super comfy Lo Pro Chambrays from a couple of seasons ago, these are not them. These are probably a men's shoe, and if you try to compensate for the width by going below your size you will pay...in blood. They're also lighter in color.

These shoes were like straight jackets for my feet. They were super stiff and tight, even though the fit was right in the length. I'm sending them back before they cover my feet in blisters! A shame, since they look great.

We have ordered this brand and style, for a female, with slight variance several times and have found it a very difficult fit. In this case, the opening is too large around the ankle and doesn't look good.

I bought these shoes for the summer and are WAY too big. I am a true 7.5 and these felt more like an 8.5. They were also narrow so going down a size would not be an option. Cute shoe if youhave really narrow feet.

I really wanted to love these shoes.They were casually comfortable and the print made them easy to wear with anything. The only issue I had was the canvas print tore away from the side sole of the shoe base, big bummer. They only lasted about a month.

I ordered these shoes because they looked stylish and comfortable. The fit was fine, but they were really lacking in comfort -- particularly the fabric material which is really tough and would bend into my foot hard every time I took a step! I wore them around for a few weeks hoping to break them in, but my feet would always be sore. I've just given up and ordered a different brand of sneakers. These shoes definitely look cool, but I think you need pretty tough feet to enjoy them!

Totally comfortable for most casual use, but my feet are noticeably sore after an afternoon walking around the city, or after a shift at work, which I spend on my feet. They make decent weight lifting shoes; the flat, hard soles provide great stability. My only complaint, which is a big one, is how quickly they completely fell apart, to the degree of being unwearable. After about three months of regular use, dime-sized holes were wearing through the canvas, and the canvas itself was separating from the soles. I can't justify spending even this much for a shoe with such a short lifespan.

These shoes are adorable, but my daughter has only had them for three weeks, and they are literally falling apart! The rubber bottom is separating from the shoe. I am really disappointed in the very low quality of these shoes.

Very cute shoes. fit true to size. however, being white, they got rather dirty and after the first washing, the rubber around the bottom edge came loose, and some kind of reinforcement in the back of the shoe bunched up so that they are very uncomfortable to wear now. So good luck cleaning them-but ours are ruined now.

Sure, the shoes fit ok. they were a bit snug and narrow, but that's not uncommon for me. what upset me was that the description says they're canvas, but the material is a LOT closer to plastic/vinyl. If you like shoes that won't breathe at all and basically be like wearing plastic bags on your feet, these will be perfect for you. Having owned plenty of Vans over the years, I'm surprised. Usually canvas is not plastic. Maybe I'm just crazy. Who knows! I tried them on only to check the sizing, but I'm definitely returning these right away.

They look great and have been extremely comfortable, but in less than a year of normal wear (3-4 days per week around town), the seams have begun to fall apart. I loved them while they lasted, but would try to purchase something more steadfast next time.

I've bought several pairs of Vans shoes before, and I love them. But the pair I got from Zappos was just a shell what Vans shoes are. It was literally the nylon (or whatever material) cloth, sewn to the style of the shoes, and that's it. It was if I'd bought a knock-off (a poor knock-off), or something from their budget line. Not buying shoes here anymore.

I ordered an 8.5 mens (women's 10). I was sent a 6.5 mens (women's 8) so it was impossible for me to wear these. I'm so disappointed. I would've never looked at the size thinking it was wrong and bought these months ago to take with me while I work overseas in a foreign country where it's hard for me to find shoes. Now I'm stuck with too small shoes.

So bummed out! I wear a 9. 5 or 10 wide in womens. Ordered these in mens 9. Which is a 10.5 in womens. They are too tight in the width and the toe box has zero room for my toes. My toes are so close & snug to the top of the toe box that they look like they are going to pop through! Now, I do have a wide foot & pudgy toes, but come on! Even the narrow keds don't give me this problem. If u have a truly wide foot or pudgy, high toes, I do not rec. Also WAY over priced for what it is. A basic canvas sneaker. Back they go.

I bought these literally about 3 months ago as part of my new job's uniform. All we needed was a pair of black or pink tennis shoes, and I immediately fell in love with these. I bought them, got them in less than 48 hours, they fit really nicely. Now it's 3 months later and the shoes are falling apart. I rotate my shoes in and out every day so I don't wear these on a 24/7 basis and I'm truly disappointed by the fact that the rubber insole is falling to pieces . . . literally. Pieces of it are attached to my socks every time I take them off, it's disgusting! I was willing to deal with that but then the rubber part surrounding the shoe is now start to come off too. Like what the heck? Vans used to be a sturdy shoe company and I've had pairs before that lasted more than 3 years but this pair can barely stand 3 months AND I rotate them out? C'mon guys. I don't think I will be buying Vans ever again, I can tell you that. What a rip off.

I used to love Vans lo pros but now they are making them much different then before. They seem to becoming more of girl style shoes. I'm really disappointed with my purchase but I'll probably just give these shoes to a friend.

First purchase I've ever made from this website and it's quite possibly the worst purchase I've ever had. I wear these on avg. 5 hrs/day 4-5 days a week. They were purchased as work shoes and are completely falling apart. Holes already and canvas peeling back from the rubber. I've had them for just a few months.

Do not buy these shoes! They are cute but the fabric is extremely thin. My 13 year old daughter bought them 6 weeks ago and wears them to and around school but is not excessively hard on shoes. There are already holes in both shoes and her toes are hanging out of one. Waste of money!

I have purchased and worn Vans for over twenty years. I am very disappointed with my recent purchase. Vans has cheapened their product and their prior good name. Shoes are not high enough in back where they should rise over the heel, and they have decreased the amount of material over the top of the foot so much, in an attempt to save money that they look hedious with little material and lots of wide shoe lase space only to cover the top of the foot. They are very uncomfortable, and they have, also in an attempt to save money, decreased the length of the tongue so much that one can't possibly grab it to adjust the shoe when lacing. I probably won't be purchasing any more Vans, unless they reverse this cheapening trend, which I doubt they will do. Ronald N. McCarty

This shoe is way too narrow for human feet. I bought a 9.5 womens (I have other LoPro's) and it's not at all the right width. They should note that this shoe is super narrow.

I was going to order these shoes but again zappos prices especially for a internet retailer are way above. They brag about their prices and no promo codes but their pricing is actually horrific. Usually I can find anything on zappos for at least 20% cheaper elsewhere. The one stars are all due to Zappos pricing.
