Vans rock! Vans Authentic shoe holds a perfect balance of comfort and classic style. They feel true to size, lightweight and fairly durable. I own a couple of pairs that I have been wearing frequently for years and they are still going strong and looking good. I recently purchased a pair in a specialty fabric to coordinate with my casual work attire and when worn to the office, they become the day's conversation piece. They are so prone to so many stares and compliments that it is difficult going through a day unnoticed.

Well, okay shoe at first, but, the heels do not last long at all. The little heel pad or whatever came apart fast, and cause a major problem. All the little plastic pieces kept breaking off little by little, and soon I had to take my shoe off every 5 minutes to remove a few annoying pieces of plastic floating around in my shoe. They also get dirty on the inside very fast. The heel stitching doesn't hold at all either. Had to throw mine away today because the stitching in the heel tore in half, and I couldn't do anything about it. Great shoes at first, but a lot of problems are attached.

Vans has made yet another awesome shoe! I personally am a musician, so it fits well with that look, but that is the great thing about this shoe; it goes with everything! depending on what color you choose, it can be super bold or super understated, you cannot go wrong!

Classic shoe in a fashionable pattern and color. My daughter wanted these and they look great. She is very happy. I have been wearing Vans since 1976. Zappos shipping was uncharacteristically delayed, but got here in time for her birthday, so no worries!

Great looking shoe. As far as looks and price, look no further. However, the quality of the shoe in terms of durability is the downside. Maybe that is why the shoe is 'cheap'er. The thing with this shoe, is that is looks great and you get many comments (good ones). The bad part is that the rubber will start to unglue from the shoe early on. Also, it takes a while to get this shoe to fit good. It takes a long time to break 'em in.

Great shoes. I ordered a half size up because the slip ons run small, but these actually run true to size. Mine are a little big, but very comfortable. They were a little tight right out the box, but they loosened within a few hours. Not too much padding, or too little. The backs don't have the padding like the slip ons do, so they don't give blisters when worn without socks. I definitely recommend, and I'll probably buy another pair in a different color. The pictures Zappos has are true to color.

These shoes are amazing! I have several pairs and I love them. Some reviewers are saying the shoes are uncomfortable, but you just have to break them in. I hated mine at first, but a full day of walking around the mall in them did the trick. I finally bought a new pair because I wore my previous pair until they were nothing! They're comfortable and guys look hot in them. So please, buy these shoes!

These are easily one full size too small, and with very little "headroom", so the toes get kind of squeezed from above. My feet are 26.5 cm. European size 43 (28 cm) are a little big, and 42 (27 cm) somewhat small. Vans US size 9 should equal 42 2/3. Perfect? No these must be 41.5 at best. They are barely 26.5 cm. Either I will destroy the shoes, or they will ruin my feet.

Great classic with a punch - These are the Vans of my childhood...the classic never go out of style Vans...only in bright sunshine yellow. They are canvas and rubber and have little to no arch support, but they are cool and great with jeans and shorts and skirts, and they come in so many amazing colors and patterns...Try them, they will become a staple in your shoe wardrobe.

These things are really sick, but if you wear them without socks (as I do and most people), they tear up the back of your heels, so I advise wearing socks. After you bruise your heels then you're fine, they just need to be broken in. But buy these though, they've got awesome styles and they're comfortable after you break them in.

LOVE THESE SNEAKS! I'm a little pudgy with small feet, and these sneakers make me look a little more even. I think they're really cute anyway, and they're quite comfortable. You can dress them down with jeans or jazz them up with a snappy summer outfit.

Vans Watermelon Print - I don't buy anything with the hopes of drawing attention to myself. Everything that I buy I do so because I like it. With that being said, know that if you cop these, you will definitely be the victim of people staring at you no matter where you are. LOL. I absolutely love these sneakers. They are comfortable which is most important. No matter where I went...train, bus, into a store, walking down the street, to my godmother’s house...people were staring, pointing, and whispering. I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing, but I know I love my watermelon print vans :)

Great shoe, great value - I love this shoe. Casual, yet clean and a little classier because of the suede material. I purchased "castro green" ... really much more of a silvery gray with a hint of green. Very subtle and versatile.
