I've got no complaints I really like these shoes. I have narrow feet and these fit snug. I put these through a beating at the gym and they hold up.

Well designed and built show…IMO Vans is the only sneaker brand out there doing unique stuff…save your money on those “designer” brands and check out what Vans is doing…

Didn’t fit like every other pair of vans I’ve ever had. Half size too big. Seem nice besides that. I sure hope they have a 1/2 size down in stock.

My only concern is the sticky sole. Is this sole that wraps around the shoe going to yellow and collect dirt like a magnet because it is so sticky out of the box? Almost as if it melted? I put these on and walked around the house and the sole was sticking to the floor, excessively. Maybe a cleaning/wipe-down will fix this but I have not had the chance to do that yet. Other than that the shoe looks really nice and fits well.

this is not a durable shoe. You have one bad trick on this and you can rip the mesh on the sides and have a hard time getting it back together. With that being said, this is my absolute favorite shoe.
The feel on this shoe is next level. There is no break in time, no stiffness, they come super flexible and ready. I recommend applying shoe goo on the mesh areas prone to ripping for you, i did this in place of shoe breathability as I dont really think that makes a huge difference unless its the middle of the summer.
Aves do have a shank in the middle of the outsole that protects against primo lands which has come in handy.
do not scratch up the mesh you will regret it !!
I like these tight as in maybe a half size down

Everyone's comment say the same thing...too tight and they rip up. Just swap the removable soles for thinner ones and then they fit great n wont rip.

Nice durable and good looking shoe. It definitely runs narrow and tight, so I have to wear thin socks with them.

Feel well made with a nice grippy bottoms. Very stylish with a pair of jeans, IMO. They run smaller than expected in both length and width, but hoping some wear stretches them out since size 13 is as big as they go. I'd suggest ordering up at least a half size, if not a full size for wider feet. Slightly more arch support than normal vans (which is zero), but don't buy these if you're looking for anything beyond mild arch support.
Would I buy them again, probably not, at least not at full price. If I had a smaller foot, though, I'd be giving them 5 stars since I could just order up a size.

This is my third pair of these shoes. I love this color combo. Lightweight shoe and comfy.

Really cool looking. Worn for everyday casual. Used during workouts and a chill skate session. The soles are a bit gummy, at least at first, so it helps to grip the deck. They are a bit snug. Hoping they will loosen up the more I wear them.

General casual wear, good looking shoe and fits almost perfect, just felt slightly narrow in the mid section but overall a good fit for my size 9.5s. Love the grippy blue colored sole

These are my third version of the AVE. So far so good. They are less comfortable than the last pair, however, I believe that's due to these not having an air cushion. I'm not really sure why they dropped it; my last pair were very comfortable these are just okay. Overall happy with the fit and look, might drop in some better insoles.

I was hoping had a little more support and the front part seems faded than the rest. Still like and am using them for work. Love Vans but these are my favorite

These are very comfortable Vans. Broke in super easy, offers some cushioning and I love the "grounded" feel you get with Vans!

Love the shoe. I think it's biggest issue is durability.
Please release the original white with blue sole again, the new color ways are so ugly!

At first the shoe was very tight and stiff. After breaking them in and finding the lacing that fits for me. They are one of the most comfortable and stylish shoes I've owned. Vans doesn't make them in white anymore. Good luck finding them in white.

Once I got the lacing right on the shoes they fit perfectly to my feet. Just want to say they are one of the best shoes I've ever purchased!

These are the most comfortable Vans I have ever owned and I have been wearing Vans since 1986. I have them in a few colors. Only problem I have with them is after a bit of time they smell like cat pee and I don't own a cat.
Vans what is up with the cat pee smell????

I have purchased 3 of these style and absolutely love the look and the comfort. I didn't realize how fatigued my feet were getting in the old school Vans style, but when I wear these my feet feel so good! And board feel is absolutely GREAT. Unfortunately, there is design flaw or materials issue because all 3 pair developed HUGE HOLES in the folding areas of the upper. HUGE HOLES. And this is well ahead of any other wear item on the shoe - the soles are barely 1/2 worn. I cannot recommend this shoe for that reason - especially at the relative high price. I love vans and will continue to purchase and wear them, but this style is not UNRIVALED DURABILITY as the description would tell you. Sorry.

I have bought probably 10 pairs of the ave pro, love the look and comfort on this shoe, but after 6months of normal use, the side mesh rips apart.
