I ordered these mainly because I wanted an eco-friendly shoe. I didn't expect them to be so comfortable! The colors seem to differ slightly from the pictures. I ordered the black/khaki and (at least on my screen) the black appears to be a bit more like dark navy but in real life they're definitely dark freakin black on khaki. I've read a few others that stated the colors look different but such is life with both the natural materials and the digital photos themselves. No harm no foul. I'll probably return them for another color though because they are very comfortable I like that they environmentally friendly.

These are great shoes all around. They are stylish, comfortable and the bottoms mold to the shape of your feet, even when you wear them out and dirty them up. They look sweet, mine have rips and stains on them and they still look great but that is with every pair of Vans.

It's not easy finding the right shoes for practicing Tai Chi. In the seventeen years I have been practicing and looking for the right shoe, these are the best I have found. I suggest you puchase a half size larger than you normally get.

I just got my first pair of these and I am now looking at all the other colors because they are the most comfortable pair of shoes ever! They do run small (usually a size 11 1/2 but needed the 12 on these). Not only comfortable but stylish too. Great buy!

Really like the style - I wear them with jeans or chinos. They are very low cut - no socks or dressy type socks seem to work well. The heel of the shoe is very low cut. It doesn't dig in because of the soft canvas so that's nice. I really like the red inside. You can see the color pop with a pair of dark blue dress socks and a plaid shirt. I've had them about a month and worn them a 1/2 dozen times and they are very comfortable. I wouldn't wear them for a long walk but at the office (graphics studio) they work great!

First time ordering from Zappos. Very fast delivery. I will definitely order from Zappos again. Shoes fit well. Slight problem when trying to put my feet into the shoe, its a little tight. But after I got my foot in, it fits perfectly.

I ordered these in espresso suede for my 13 year old son. For a child who only wears athletic shoes, I was quite surprised that he loved them... especially the fuzzy interior!

Love these shoes. I'm a women's size 9 but I buy the men's 7 1/2 because my feet are a little wide. I have to use arch supports insoles since I have really high arches, but this is my second pair and I'll keep buying them as long as they make them.

They are Vans. Enough said. They are comfy and they are a perfect fit. Love the shoes and will buy more colors in the future.

My first pair of Vans Rata Vulc were the Khaki color, but I decided to get the Charcoal ones as well because I really like the look and fit of this shoe. Thank you Vans! By the way, Vans socks are Off The Wall.

Great low-key shoe. Sizing has definitely changed on these. I have a pair of the suede in 10.5 from last year but with this Grey pair I needed an 11. I lined the two shoes up and they're identical except one's a 10.5 and the other's an 11.
Good shoes for around the beach, similar to Sanuk's and worth a look.

Super comfortable casual shoe. I'm a little skeptical of the durability, but then again, they're under my budget! I wear a size 10 running shoe, size 8 1/2 Converse All-Star and the size 9 in this Rata Vulc is perfect.

These are great shoes. They are very comfortable and good looking. However, because they are canvas shoes they feel a little flimsy. They are worth the price, but definitely not a deal.

This shoe is amazing. I love this shoe. The insole of the shoe is very thick which makes it comfortable. Zappos has great shipping. I got my shoes in two days with no problems. I am very glad I got this shoe.

I have a wide foot so I bought a half size up. There is no way I could wear this shoe. Ever. If you have normal to narrow feet, it's a great looking shoe. If not, look elsewhere.

Great shoe! Fit perfect to size. Fine for my slightly wider feet. Still new so I can't comment on durability, but they seem fine so far. Very lightweight casual shoe, not afraid to get 'em wet. Zappos is awesome - I messed up my ordering, but a human answered the phone quickly and fixed everything.

This shoe looks great and is super light and airy for the spring/summer time. NOT good for working on your feet for long hours, very little arch support. But overall, I really love this shoe. It is the second time (different color, though), that I have purchased this shoe. The last time was four years ago and it lasted me a very long time.

These shoes look good without compromising comfort.
When I ordered them I feared the hemp would look weird and stand out but they look no different than any other canvas shoe.

The Black/Khaki is not as pictured; the khaki laces and rubber is much darker than it shows here. Otherwise, they're cool shoes.

Great lounge shoe. These shoes are super stylish and look great with jeans. They can start to hurt your feet when walking for a long time, but they don't seem to bother me with the usual routine.

Comfortable, stylish, unique. I'm very happy with them. My only complaints are that they don't breathe well so they get a little smelly (I wear them without socks), and the white ring gets scuffed up and dirty quickly!

I really like these. I wanted something I could wear with skinny jeans, and they work for that. I've walked a lot in them, and I think they give enough support. And the soles are easy to replace. They pull out, so you can put in your own insoles if you want to.

These shoes are sharp on, but not really for every day wear as they just have not held up that well. I wish they were more durable.

Very nice, low key shoe. Took a few days to break in and now can be slipped on without too much of a hassle.
