Customer Reviews Vans Authentic

Text inlay on the sole that says "Heartbreaker", not visible from main product photo.

I walk, hike, mountain bike, bmx, snowboard, & kayak. I'm thoroughly calloused. I use different shoes for each activity, none cause blisters or rub my skin off. The Vans Authentic very quickly ripped all the skin off my Achilles. Tried using the fabric band aids that never come off, the Vans tore through big size & tore off medium size. If I don't have to wear moleskin on a 17mile hike, I shouldn't need it to walk from parking lot into a restaurant, but that's how quickly Vans shred my skin.

Don't do it you'll be sorry

I purchased this shoes online and when I finally got them. I got delivered something completely different of what I order. I try email customer care and no answer. I call customer care and they told me all they could do is give me back my money and to donate the shoes that I got. I'm not a fan of vans but I really like this shoes so I wanted to try them. I'm very disappointed mainly because I told the customer care rep that I would like for the purchase be resend and be correct but didn't wanted to do that. Really bad customer experience, she was not mean but I think she could have done more for me .

I have worn Bans old school low tops forever 6 years. Always 9.5, so why don't either of these shoes fit properly?

I rotate a few pairs at a time and always ware through them in about 6 months. Not made to the same quality they used to be.

This logo is actually embarrassing. Not to mention, had a horrible experience with shipping and order confirmations. Not happy with Vans as of late. Actually considering switching brands.

I'd of bought 10 pair if I could have chosen my own color scheme. One of the sides fixed color scheme isn't anything I'd were. Way to effeminate.

The shoes are a little different than previous pairs I've bought and the back of the shoe is about half an inch higher--this has caused the shoe to dig into my tendon when I walk and this makes them unwearable without long socks. I'm not sure if this is an intentional change in the product or a fluke with this particular pair.

Very narrow shoe. My feet were sore after 1 attempt at wearing this shoe.

...the heart design were centered as shown. Where's the QC?
