Customer Reviews Vans 106 Vulcanized Core Classics

Love these shoes! I've purchased Vans for my 8 year old girls, and they loved them so much I thought I'd try them out. They are super comfortable. Love them!

I got these shoes for my 12th birthday and I love them. You can wear them with jeans, skirts, and dresses. Also the comfort is really good!

These are awesome shoes that run pretty true to size. I tried them on in a store, but then came here because I knew they would be cheaper online. I saved myself a little money. I usually wear a women's 7½-8 and I got the men's 6 and they fit perfectly. They were a little snug and stiff at first but that's to be expected with canvas shoes (or any shoes for that matter). I wear them around the house with some socks to break them in and they'll be perfect. These are a little bit wider than the Vans Era and the Vans Authentic, which I like because my feet are a little wider. Keep in mind when buying these that canvas shoes do stretch a little bit. And I was shocked at how fast the shoes got to me. They were here within a day of ordering and I used the free shipping option. Very satisfied with my purchase. Remind me a lot of Converse All-Stars, which were always some of my favorite shoes.

They were a gift for my 20 year old nephew for Christmas. He loves them! Thank you Vans and thank you VIP ZAPPOS.

I bought these for my 10 year old grandson for Christmas. He loves them so much he wanted another pair in a different color. He said these were the best shoes ever!

These shoes are great! Simple, clean, classic. They go great with pants, jeans and even shorts! 5 stars!

Came in great shape, good packaging. It's not like they're bootleg, they're the real deal, and I wear 'em all the time.

I ordered these for my son. He was looking for a pair of simple all-black classic sneakers. He says they are comfortable and true to size.

My son ordered these for school and loves them. He says they are very comfortable and loves the style.

I have worn Vans for years. High tops, mids, and lows. I personally like this over the Authentics and the Chukkas. They have better cushioning and support over the Authentics but, not as beefy as the Chukka lows (I don't like a very thick tongue). I love the black on black, like all of my other Vans. I went to many stores to purchase these but none of them had my size (hate having big feet). I knew I could count of Zappos to have them in my size and for their very fast shipping! Thank you Vans for creating great shoes and thank you Zappos for your great selections, service, and shipping!

I bought these shoes for my 24 year old son. He put them on and wore them out of the house immediately. He loves this brand and style and buys them frequently for the comfort and looks. He has several colors.

I was looking to change it up from Chucks and these are killer! No stiffness or new shoe break-in to worry about. The first wear feels like the 200th wear comfort-wise and they are very true to size. Also, they look good with everything. Vans never disappoint with perfect, casual, anytime rock-it-out kicks!

These are much tighter than other Vans that I have. The width is narrower and the toe box is much tighter.

Shoes feel good, I had a pair of these that I bought several years back until my dog chewed them up. They always look and feel clean. The only reason they are not 5/5 stars is that the rubber on the outside of the shoe seems cheap.

Good shoe for many occasions. They go with just about anything and are pretty comfortable for a whole day of wear. Standard vans- good shoe for a great price.

Ok looking shoes. Bought a pair for my wife. She wears it to her clinical every week. Not an ideal choice if you are someone who is constantly moving.

Good looking shoes. A bit small.

I bought these shoes to catering in. They are comfortable and still look professional enough.

My son needed all black shoes for his job. He says his feet hurt after a few hours so I don't think they have much support. But they look good.

I have ludicrously narrow feet, and the laces do their job and fit the shoes to them, so primary task accomplished. These shoes also grip just about everything quite well, which is why I went with skater shoes despite never having held a skateboard in my life. The one minus is that they're kinda hot. I'm definitely sweating in them more than I would expect from a canvas shoe.

There's barely any difference between the size 8 and size 8 1/2. I am always an 8 1/2 but the shoes were too big so I got the 8 and they felt the same and then I ordered the 7 1/2 and they were far too small. Vans is definitely doing a lot of cost-cutting. Overall, the shoe is well-built and seems durable. I ended up keeping the size 8 because I really wanted some plain, well-built skate shoes.

Got these for my 13 year old son to wear to an event. They are very nice and looked great with Khakis. They were a good compromise since he would never wear dress shoes again. Like his other Vans he won't wear them for long distance walking because they are not very comfortable.

These look a lot cooler than they feel. It seems like the front of the shoe is higher than the heel, so it isn't very comfortable to walk in. But, if you're just going to be hanging out, they look awesome. Also - be careful with these. The sole is pure rubber and will definitely not slide on carpet, so be aware of how much traction you'll have.
