Vans are simply a must for me when skating. Classic look, simple and super comfortable. Of course, this is a matter of taste, but I find the things many times better than the brightly colored sneakers of another manufacturer are now so fashionable. From the wearing comfort absolutely recommended.

Another staple

I was hunting for some comfortable red shoes for spring and summer to add a little flair to my jeans and tshirt but I already have slip ons and a pair of old school Vans. In the 35 years I've been wearing Vans I have never owned a pair of Authentic Vans. So glad I bought these, they fit a little better than my slip ons and are super cute, comfortable and go with everything. I may go back and grab another pair on classic black and another in yellow!

Best shoe ever

I mountain bike in these, and they are great if you like flat pedals. They are thin enough so you can feel the pedals, but durable enough to be supportive. they do wear out pretty quick if you are an every day wearer. I think I am on my 10th pair of the black with the laces. They look good with everything, and are super comfortable for how minimal they are. However if you need your arches supported more, I would look at other models they make.

Classic Shoe

This is a quintessential shoe. It is good for casual wear, especially in the summer. If you lift, also good shoe for squats because of the firm flat sole. True to size.

Cute Cords

These are really attractive shoes in person. The red is not too bright the laces are more of an off white. The fit is just a little different from typical vans. Slightly loose around ankles

Love the wide Vans

The wide fit vans look basically the same as the normal fit but they are so much roomier. I generally wear Birkenstocks for sandals so I like room for my toes to spread out and these fit the bill. I just wish they came in more color options and more styles! I would buy a gumsole in every color!

NOT WIDE ENOUGH

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 ... MoreI need flat, zero-drop shoes for casual everyday wear.

Nice, but more of a deck shoe than a trainer

I've warn this for 2 long days out and about now and they look nice. They lose a point for comfort as they are flat soled obviously. I have had a similar pair for a few years and they have worn very well hence I came back to the brand. The top material is a canvas affair which is not what I was expecting. My last pair were a black leather looking material which you could wipe easily. Hopefully washing them will be ok anyway and they will become another long stay favourite in my small collection.

Thanks for bringing the white leather back

Thank you for bringing this shoe back! Was devastated when it was discontinued a few years back. Difficult to find a replacement. Extremely comfortable, minimal time needed to wear in. The white leather ensures its own longevity. It will survive rain and red wine spillage! Will see you through a Winter trip in Spain and London.
