I have multiple pairs of vans but these are my go to. Cute with jeans and shorts! I've had mine for 2 years and they are still in good condition. I will definitely buy another pair!

Great shoe. It's like the classic vans, a little wider and taller

I have owned a lot of Vans over the years and I went with the all black version of these and have been happy with them. They fit true to size and are comfortable to walk around in all day as I wear them for 8 - 9 hours a day at work. I just bought a second pair

Super cute shoe. I have the more traditional model, but really love these. I have a high rise and wide forefoot, and these fit me better. Because they're cut higher on the foot, they do rub a bit at my ankle, but I'm going to bank on them wearing in just fine.

This Is my third paid of these in all black. I have a slightly wide foot and they fit me perfectly. They're super comfortable and the 5/6.5 fit true to size. I keep coming back to them after I wear my previous pairs out because they're easy to throw on and I can wear them comfortably all day.

Great simple but yet stylish shoes. Can't ever go wrong with a black and white pair of vans. Initially they fit snug for my wide foot but they broke in nicely after a few wears. The material feels durable

Love them. They are very comfortable, cute, and true to size. I thought I would send them back because I really don't need another pair of shoes...but then I tried them on!

I love these shoes! I've had mine for almost 3 years and since I just use them for casual wear, they're still in great condition. They are pretty true to Vans sizing, I normally wear a women's 10.5 - 11 and in the womens 10.5 these are perfect! They don't have any arch support, but they do have some nice cushion so they're great for everyday use, but if I was doing a ton of walking, I would switch to a more supportive shoe. Overall, I'm very happy with these because they're exactly what I need, a nice, casual, grey shoe.

First off, we got these shoes in less than 24 hours. Wow. Thanks. Zappos! Shoes are made well. Fit my son's size 12 foot. No complaints!

First of all, I am a big fan of Vans. I like that they are fairly cheap and come in a variety of styles and colors. The 106 vulcanized are a great shoe that is very similar the the original Vans. They are a bit higher on the ankle than the originals and have more padding all the way around. This provides a bit more support and keeps the shoe from digging into the ankle. These shoes are great for skating, biking and casual walking, but not a good shoe for most athletic activities. They are not the best for long periods of walking as they are pretty flat and will cause your feet to get sore. I have had these for several months now and they seem to be holding up very well. After some heavy use in rough conditions, only small areas of the glue holding the sole on have started to come loose. The sole seems to be very durable and resistant to anything you might step on. You will find that the diamond patterned sole has plenty of grip on almost all surfaces and is easy to clean with just soap and water. The canvas upper is not very water resistant but it is pretty easy to clean. Thanks to the durable canvas construction, the shoe breathes pretty well but will also keep your feet warm in the winter. The laces and eyes are also very durable and show no sign of coming apart. I have found that all of my Vans fit true to size, though this particular pair was a bit tight before they were broken in. Overall, this a very durable and simple shoe that is also surprisingly comfortable. I will definitely be buying another pair after these wear out and I would recommend them to anyone.

These were a gift for my son. They run true to size and are very comfortable, no breaking in necessary. They look very good with slim jeans.

Great kicks! Simple, sleek, and classic. It fit true to size. It's a good look if you want a pop of white with otherwise dark clothing. I felt quite comfortable, even though I have slightly wide feet. Zappos was amazing with the shipping, as always.

These are great shoes so far, I've worn them twice. I usually wear an 11 but my foot runs a little wide and I went to an 11.5, they're still kinda snug. Would prefer to get an 11 that was wider or an 11.5 that was wider but otherwise they feel great. I've walked a couple miles in them, no problem.

I purchased these Vans for my grandson, who lives in North Carolina. Bottom line, he likes them a lot. They came with an extra set of shoe laces (white). He was pleased with that. He sent pictures of how they looked on him,nice looking sneaker at a great price. I ordered size 10.5 and they fit nicely, they look just like the picture. My grandson is a happy camper. They came on time - no problems via UPS. From a happy NY grandmother. As always, thank you Zappos.

These are really good shoes. They have a little bit of extra padding in the heel compared to other Vans. I have warn them everyday since I have gotten them. Comfortable and they look good. Worth the money.

I needed some sneakers that could survive the stress that cycling puts on the sole of shoes (snaps them in half!) and this seems to hold up well.. The boots I bought at the same time are already showing hairline cracks to give you an idea. When I first bought these, they definitely wore at the back of my ankles but the rest of the shoe was incredibly comfortable. They break in pretty quickly but be aware that these are not shoes to buy at the last minute for long walks.

The shoes have been wonderful. My son needed all black shoes for work. They're also good for just casual wear. And ZAPPOS is just AWESOME! They arrived the following day!
