Customer Reviews Vans Era 59

I will start with I love that The North Face makes ski pants that don't have too much extra thigh space. Unfortunately these went a little too far the other way. I am 5'4", 120lbs and the waist and length were great but the thigh/butt were too tight in the small I also bought a pair of the NFZ Pant in a small and they fit great through the thigh/butt. I was also disappointed with the thigh pocket. Although it would hold your items securely it makes them difficult to access quickly. I use these as work pants at a ski area and wanted the thigh pocket for easy access to employee schedules and my phone. But, the pocket is too difficult to access quickly (con for me, pro for valuables:)

I have instructed in these ski pants for the past 3 seasons and so far they have held up exceptionally well except for around the boot guard where the stitching has fallen apart for the past 2 seasons and every attempt I have made to fix it have failed. It maintains it's water resistance up until the heaviest rain and several lift rides. I do like the front thigh pocket and the ventalation is above average. Overall for the price a good ski pant that will last a few seasons.

I had my eye on these for months, finally purchased and ended up returning. They flex weird and pinch down on my toes, cut into my heels and run small. The other vans I purchased fit like a glove and I love them. Disappointed in these.

The shoes look nice and feel sturdy but they are VERY narrow. I first bought them in a men's 8.5 but found they were too big even though other Vans shoes fit me in that size. I rebought them in a size 8, and although they fit better in the toe, they were too narrow and tight on the sides of my feet and toes.

I wanted to love these. The floral design is beautiful. But that piece on the heel rubs the back of your foot until it's bleeding. Also, after ONE wash in cold water the colors from the inside bled through to the white. So now not only are they uncomfortable they're spotted and stained.

I wanted to like this shoe but they didn't work out for me. They are a little snug, the laces don't come up very high, and the sides of the shoe are weirdly low. I also bought the vans exorange and those feel like clouds on my feet compared to these.

These shoes look really nice but the only possible way to wear them is by putting bandaids on the back of your heels which then ruins the look of the shoes

bad

I thought I was going to love these shoes and wear them all the time. However, they destroyed the back of my ankle and teared the skin off. Won't purchase again. I will also be returning...

Liked the look but the heel rubbed and made the shoe unwearable. Had to quickly return and wouldn't recommend. I feel like Vans used to be a solid, super comfortable shoe but I have not been impressed lately and have tried numerous different styles.

I bought these pants to use as "summit pants" as an outer shell over base layer and light hiking pants on summit night on Mt. Kilimanjaro. The pants fit to size, fit very well as shell over the other two layers, were warm, well designed with pockets and blocked cold wind and were very flexible and functional. However, after hiking to summit and then descending back to base camp the inner angle areas on both the left and right legs of the pants had worn holes right in front of the kick patches. The fabric did not hold up at all to the trekking. There was no extraordinary wear other than simply hiking up and down that single day. I may replace these with the NFZ Pants as they are a different fabric that may hold up better. I want to commend The North Face warranty department for working with me and providing an e-gift card in the full amount I spent on these pants since they did not hold up. Disappointed in the pants but continued support of The North Face!
