Customer Reviews Vans Authentic™ Pro

True to size and stylish. A little snug on the first day but they broke in just fine after a few hours. Super comfortable, great support and traction! I shied away from Vans because they had terrible cushion support, but this shoe has made me a fan again. Will buy again for sure.

I bought these for my husband...he loves VANS! He says these are super comfortable with an extra foam cushion. He wears them daily and they look great with everything. He especially likes the style of the black upper with the gum sole. He would definitely recommend adding these to your collection!

These shoes and every other pair of vans I have gotten have been my favorite. Plus buying from Zappos makes it so much easier and they always have good prices and deals!

This shoe contains a great padding for comfort. The only problem was it felt too big in size, but made up for it in style. I have been using Zappos for a while now and it's definitely worth buying shoes on this app. The best thing about this shoe is the burgundy color absolutely gorgeous!!!

This shoe was absolutely great, the width was a perfect fit. Worth the buy, plus Zappos has very fast shipping and a great place to buy shoes!!

Comfy shoe! I love the style of Authentics but the lack of support the non-pro versions have doesn't agree with my feet. These feel very well built and have a much better sole insert. For a good-looking shoe that you can comfortably wear all day, look no further!

Felt a little more narrow than other Vans I've owned but seems to be stretching out some. I'd still order whatever size you normally do just be prepared to need to break them in.

good except it was too tight for me

Wonderful company. Sizes are exact and fast delivery

If you love Vans authentics but you're getting older like me and your feet hurt after a night out ripping the motorcycle around or standing at the bar because your shoes feel like the padding is made out of cardboard then get these! They are just like your other authentics but comfortable! And with a slightly more rounded toe cap but it's barely noticeable. Don't worry these come with white laces too. Worth the extra few bucks for your feet, and knees.

Had purchased for graduation and failed to try them on before the big day. Felt like I flopped across the stage because they were so big but that's MY fault for not trying them on. Lesson learned!

Such an odd fit.. I thought I was getting the same pair as I already have, but these are different. The "pro" insole feels nice but the overall fit of the show isnt as snug as my other pair. With these shoes there is a lot of space in the actual shoe opening, which makes it feel like the back of the shoe does a flip-flop kind of thing unless I tighten the laces relatively tight. Im not sure if sizing down a half size would make a difference but definitely something to consider.

Decent shoes. Definitely wider than expected, (althought I do have skinnier feet). Has never really been a problem with other vans.

Stylish

Shoes looked and felt great. Zappos has a speedy delivery as always! You guys are awesome!!!

This is my 2nd pair of Authentic Pros. This time around, I got the black with gum soles. They look great and fit consistent with my previous pair. Just wish they would include a black stripe around the top of the gum sole to add some contrast. Can't beat the price though!

These shoes are the narrowest shoes I have ever owned. It took almost a month to break them in to the point where I was not getting blisters all the time. They hold up OK, but there is almost no padding on the sides or top of your foot, so skating in them is a really bad idea. I have been wearing them every day for about 9 months and they still have tread.

Authentic Core Classics have been my almost daily sneakers for years so I thought I'd give these a try. After a few weeks I'm back to my Core Classics. The Authentic Pros aren't an improvement in my opinion, but are still a decent sneaker. Pros: more comfortable foot bed, still look great Cons: tighter on the foot (due to taller foot bed), stiffer material is less comfortable and doesn't breathe as well in warm weather

The Vans Authentic Pro is a shoe that turns an iconic sneaker into a more durable and skateable shoe. The Authentic has always been one of my favorite shoes to skateboard in but too often lacks in durability due to the canvas uppers. The additional features that improve on the original are the duracap under the canvas upper and also the outsole, UltraCush removable insole, and the Vans pro-lite construction sole. I was extremely excited to get these shoes but they take some getting used to because they fit differently than classic Authentics due to the insoles/soles being different. I was slightly disappointed because they weren't as comfortable as the originals and sometimes even hurt. Hopefully that is just part of the break in period. Overall these are decent fitting shoes that are nice looking and feature much appreciated improvements.

I ordered a pair in white and they're not ultracush. The insole only says "Pro" and they're not soft and squishy like my other ultracush vans.

Good insole that is removable but inside of suede started to rip.

These are nice looking. Wish I hadn't believed the reviews about being a half size bigger. My sons current shoes are a 10. I was going to go with 10 1/2 to allow for growth but since reviews said they run big I stayed with the 10. Nope should have went up the half size. They fit just like a 10.

Way too small. Hugged the knuckles of my toes to a painful extent. I wear a 10.5 in every style of vans except for this one I guess.

These really hurt my feet! Even though I ordered half size up. Got blisters from walking 3-4 miles even though I wore socks.

My son really thought the shoes were comfortable, but the Ultra Cush insole was so thick and cushy that his heel popped out the back of shoe when he walked, which really bugged him. Had to return them.
