Awesome. I wear a lot of vans, but have recently switched to the pro models for the cushioning. Love them and don’t hurt my feet like the regular models started doing as I got older.

Our 18 year old son is a fashion diva and wanted a black sneaker. The Vans Authentic Pro fit the bill. Comfortable, easy on/off, and on trend.

These are fabulous and so comfortable! I’ve worn Vans for 37 years and love the new Ultracush models. These are just a tad narrow feeling to me but I’ve worn a 10 for years and these still fit and are comfy with arch support and cushioning.

They feel a half size bigger. But other than that these are amazing shoes.

Very cool sneaker - insole is nice and comfy, toe box is very roomy for a sneaker of this type. I think they run just a tad large but with thick socks, they're fine, not too loose in the heel. I'd buy a half-size down if you plan on just wearing without socks.

I usually where a 10, but the 9.5 size fit perfectly. So comfortable and great for tearing it up at the skate park!

Love the look of these all white Van's, still breaking them in, but haven't had any discomfort in doing so. Great quality shoes I know will last me all summer.

I've been ordering Vans from Zappos for years, and my size has always been 10. I read a review about this particular shoe feeling a half size larger, and I can confirm that that was true for me as well. Size 10 was too big, size 9.5 fit perfectly. The frost grey/gum sole is a really great color combination, and I'm very happy with how they look.

Great shoe! Comfy. Almost gave up on Vans after 20 years of wearing em. Last few years quality seem to decline. Bought these as their last chance to keep me as a customer. Bingo. Great quality.

Excellent sneaker! Had to get 1/2 size larger but otherwise they are very comfortable. Zappos is the best!

I love Vans. Never have an issue. If you have wide feet, these may not be the shoe for you. I will purchase in other colors soon.

Insole on Pro was more cushiony than other vans. Felt a tad too large but fine. You’ll get exactly what is pictured and exactly what you imagine. Overall good basic wearable sneaker

I ordered these in white and love the creamy color. Not pure white. I have a wider foot but these fit perfectly right out of the box. Not a super wide shoe but will accommodate maybe a E size foot (but not a EEE). The sizing is accurate. I also ordered the laceless Vans but they were too narrow and too small in length. Also ordered the Authentic Core Classic which is accurate in sizing and fits my wide foot but it is not as robust in construction as the Pro. Both look great with my faded jeans. The Pro also is a bit more padded in the footbed. I wore these right away to Columbus Zoo for 7 hrs on a 90 deg day. Rubbed a small blister on my little toe, but that is normal for me. Otherwise they did very well even without a strong arch support. Love these shoes.
