I would buy these over any other brand if I could get wides in more colors/styles. Love vans but apparently vans doesn't like wide feet. ):
The one pair I have is great.

I have been searching for a nice white sneaker to wear with just about everything. This is definitely the shoe for me. Fits perfectly. I have wide feet and they are just right. I have bought several pairs of white sneakers and donated them. Not these!

I like Vans, this is my second pair. They run about a half size too small for me, and the Authentic Wide is very comfortable, as I have bunions.

So pumped about these, best google search in a while. Have always worn the classic vans but they were always a bit tight at the toes. Visually they look the same but my feet are more comfortable.

The very first time I wore these the fabric tore by 3 of the eyelets. Had to return them, went with a different style.

I ordered the regular width after trying the wide. The regular width was perfect.

I've always worn vans, they are tried and true.
Love the classics and guys like me 6'4 can still wear them. Always comfortable and the wide is really what sets it apart.
Thanks Van's for thinking of everyone.

Originally ordered 9.5's, as that's what I wear in Adidas sneakers. The 9.5's felt a bit big, so decided to try out the 9's for good measure. They arrive, and the right shoe is noticeably not the same width as the left shoe. I measured across the top of the shoe - at the base of the laces - and they weren't even close, despite both shoes being labeled as "wide" and size 9. Visually, there is also a difference in shape at the top of the shoe/toe box. I guess this thing happens sometimes. Zappos didn't have an option to notify them of such an issue during the return process, so I'm going to leave a note in the shoe box so - hopefully - no one else has to deal with this. Ordered another pair of 9's elsewhere, as Zappos were out of 9's at the time I attempted to make the exchange. Fingers crossed on this next pair! They look fantastic and have a low profile, so I'm hoping they ultimately work out.

Adidas, Florsheim

I've purchased the sk8 high wide in two separate colors and these and 2/3 fit like a narrow shoe, while the 3rd was comfortable to wide. Inconsistent.

The shoe itself was cute but too big. I had to return and the process was kind of clunky. Can't initiate a return online have to hope I get $ back. :(

Unfortunately, even the wide width are too narrow for me. Super cute though.

They fit at the top but are loose in the heel like they are made for feet with extra meat and not naturally wide feet that are wide at the top and fit at the heel. Wouldn't recommend

Love vans. I purchased these before but in regular width. Decided to get wide because the regular width fits snug. I can't use the wide width without wearing thick socks. And these feel like walking on cardboard, very stiff. Waited too long to wear them now I'm stuck with these.

The shoes, though cute, are not comfortable. It's hard to tell if they fit well until they have been worn quite a bit. Very disappointed.

I wish the wide was wider. I feel like it's just a regular size. I literally checked the box to see if it was correct. Bummer.

Nowadays, it seems that if you are shipping for Vans online you need to buy 2-3 identical pairs with the expectation that QC has declined in recent years and chances are you'll end up having to return a pair. That has been my experience with my past 3 or 4 orders at least, including this one. Left shoe arrived with a crease in the toecap which rubbed on my big toe, and the right shoe had a defect in the sole which created a bump.

Not wide. At all. Absolute trash. Skip these if you want a wide toe box.

I never received this order and I’m still waiting for a refund. I’ve never seen anything like this in my life. I really hope Zappos takes care of this and issues me my refund. I spent a lot of money and I’d like my refund immediately. Thank you.
