Customer Reviews Vans Authentic Wide

Need more wide options, or at least more colors

Thanks, vans for finally making a cool shoe for people with troll feets. You guys are the greatest

I need flat, zero-drop shoes for casual everyday wear. I used to love wearing Vans, but my feet have grown wider over the years and now they're too narrow. I thought the Authentic Wide might work -- sadly, it does not. If you have a D-width foot, these shoes might be perfect for you. My 2E (female) feet are just too wide for them. Also would've liked a bit more cushioning for my (ahem!) older feet. As wide shoes go, these really aren't very wide. As you can see in the pics, these are about a "pinky toe" too narrow for my feet. It's my understanding that shoe companies including Vans are making shoes smaller to save on costs and maximize their profits. Unfortunately, we consumers are the ones who pay the price in cramped toes, cramped feet, deformities like bunions, and other foot ills like plantar fasciopathy.

These are great shoes to use as your daily's. I got the wide ones because I wear them to work & it's less on my feet when I'm constantly going. Love em!

Always love a good pair of vans, glad they make them in a wide size

I don't have much words to say how comfy these shoes are! Definitely worth buying again

The shoe itself was of fine quality. However, it was not wide enough--my foot was bursting out the side of the shoe's sole. According to a measuring device, I'm an EEE wide; so perhaps, shouldn't be a surprise. If you are an ever-so slightly wide/E size, I can picture this fitting.

These shoes have the exact same width as my normal (non-wide) vans. Was hoping to be able to keep wearing vans with some of the foot issues I'm experiencing, but unfortunately I will have to look elsewhere! Don't buy these if you actually need a wide shoe.

Defective insole and will need to be returned. Slightly irritated by the return process (not an exchange, so need to order another pair and wait for a refund) which does not ask for any information so someone else doesn't end up with this pair.

Ive always struggled with finding shoes that fit my wide feet. I've had these for around a month now and I love them! There's enough room for my toes and they look great. Will be buying another pair as a back up here soon.

I was really pleased to see vans made wide width shoes. They fit comfortably and the sizing was perfect. I mostly wear these for strength training and they are great! #sweepstakes

I love the Wide shoes. It's My go to's.. my day ones!.. I'm going to be 75 years old with suspenders and vans till I kick rocks.

I wore Vans all through High School - they were cool and the wide sizing was a bonus. They fit and and were comfortable right out of the box. My new go-to shoe.

I just ordered the blk/wht colorway, and I have worn the blk/blk pair consistently for a year. I have very wide feet and they're super duper comfy. I wish some of the seasonal colors were made available in a wide fit, but otherwise no complaints.
