Very Enjoyable! :) I ordered these shoes because my last pair of Vans slip-ons had worn out. I got the Cord/Leather pair in brown, and they look good with just about anything! I'm always very pleased with Vans, and even more pleased with Zappos! I received the shoes the very next day! The only problem I'm having with them is breaking them in. The heel is leather, and I'm used to the all canvas Vans slip-ons.

Super cute shoes!! Very comfy too, but BEWARE! These shoes are sky high, and not for those new to the world of platforms. Balance and coordination are required to walk in these. They are a little glam and a little punk with the studs at the toe. They look great with pants or skirts, and are comfy to walk in. The strap across the toe area was a bit smaller than I expected, but it is still great. I normally wear an 8.5 but got these in 9 just to be on the safe side and they fit PERFECT, so I would say they run about 1/2 size smaller than normal. LOVE EM!

Needs more than 5 stars!! Love, love, love this shoe! Fits like a dream & the color is just perfect. I was looking to break away from the "basic black" & this grey goes with everything. I have narrow feet & usually wear between a 6.5 & 7, depending on the brand & style of shoe; got this in 6.5 & fits perfectly. Ordered around 6 p.m. & they were at my door by 2:30 the next day! Wow!! Talk about amazing service. Love Zappos & these shoes!

I was looking forward to receiving the shoes but was very disappointed when I got them. When I opened the box, all appeared well...until I took a closer look at the wedge of the shoe. It was not constructed of cork but of some kind of adhesive paper made to resemble cork (that was used to dress the exterior surface of the wedge). It made the shoe look very cheap! The rest of the shoe seemed to be really solid in that it was sturdy and the shoe fit my feet well. If it were not for the poor workmanship of the wedge I probably would have kept the shoe. Sorry...but I had to send this one back.

I got this in black and it's very comfortable. There is a sort-of lip surrounding your foot in the shoe, which holds it in place and supports the arch, I think. There's a lot of toe showing, which sort of emphasizes how big my big toe is, but the leather is so soft and the shoe is supportive, and the wedge walkable, so it's worth it. Nice shoe.

Amazing shoes - These shoes are great to skate in or just chill in. Don't even need to wear socks with them if you aren’t skating them. That’s how comfy they are… good padding, decent durability, fantastic board feel, fantastic grip.

Absolutely Amazing - I ordered my shoes not knowing anything about the Zappos service, and found myself ecstatic with the service I was given. Immediately after I ordered my shoes I was sent a tracking order and the great news that my shoes had been given FREE overnight shipping! Sure enough I got my shoes the next day handed to me by a smiling Fed-Ex man. The shoes were in perfect condition and fit perfectly!

Amazing shoe!! I went into the Vans store at the local mall and the strong blue/white eras were expensive (without the tax and whatnot) AND they didn't carry smaller sizes (I'm a women’s size 7, mens size 5.5). They started the sizes at women’s size 8 and men’s 6.5 even at their online store!) I was quite disappointed so I started browsing online. I rambled upon Zappos and was surprised at the lower price! $46.00 with shipping and tax included! And most importantly, my exact size. They even have a few more color choices.

They’re sick looking and they absorb impact pretty much like Reynolds or Theory’s. One of the dopest shoes I’ve ever skated; not a lot of padding but it doesn’t matter the insoles and support aren’t that bad. Plus you’ve got waffle grip on you’re side.

Stylish, but no support - I really like the style and look of these shoes (I got the two-tone gray ones), but these are certainly not good walking shoes. For someone who is flat-footed like myself, these shoes are great for wearing out, but not for walking a long distance. That was no surprise to me.

Eras rock! I got them for my boyfriend for Christmas! He says they are more comfortable than the Classics. There is an extra "cushion" band around the top of the shoes that prevents "blisters" on the back of the heel if you know what I mean. Zappos sent them really really fast without tax! I received them the next day even though I ordered them after the deadline.

The Vans Era is a great looking shoe. It does not have much ankle support, so if that's not your thing, look elsewhere. Took a while to break in, but they're very comfortable when you do.
