Vans Authentic Trainers Black EU 36 1/2 Man VN0009PVB9M1M-050

These are my first pair of light colored tennis shoes. I was skeptical because I thought they would get dirty fast. I was wrong.I absolutely LOVE these Vans! Cute color, comfortable fit, and great price!Sweepstakes entry

Amazing graphics

Purchased these sneakers for my upcoming Disney vacation and was hoping for the same comfort and durability as all my other Vans but unfortunately these new ones don't have the same cushioning in the heel. Otherwise amazing sneakers with GREAT graphics.

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

Good Shoes, Seem Legit Vans; Vans has Reduced Quality

Shoes are good, totally fine.I have another 2-3 pairs that represent these exact Authentic style / brand of Vans. The old shoes have substantially more padding into the canvas, especially at the heel. The ones I bought here are canvas only, 0 padding. Not necessarily bad, because that padding doesn't do a ton, but it is indeed a noticeable drop in quality.I buy the shoes for the flatness and for the flex in the width, which flexes better than any other shoe of any other material. Also just generally looks good.But yeah, if you're going to hold these at a standard of your past purchases, you'll be disappointed.

I would not buy this product again

Please note, and socialize accordingly, that I've lost trust with the Vans brand as a result of the diminishing product quality along with inflexible customer service opportunities.While I agree and believe it is fair to establish a baseline warranty period, it is discouraging to know there was not much consideration at all into my situation. To be frank, I'm not quite sure you opened the images but solely acknowledged >6 months since the order date and moved on. Had your team seen and evaluated the pictures, I would hope that your shock would match what mine has been for months now. Once a week, 6-8 hours per day, for ~9 months = +/- 300 walking hours. That's TWELVE DAYS. I could not walk in your shoes for 12 days without them falling a part. I have leftover ... MorePlease note, and socialize accordingly, that I've lost trust with the Vans brand as a result of the diminishing product quality along with inflexible customer service opportunities.While I agree and believe it is fair to establish a baseline warranty period, it is discouraging to know there was not much consideration at all into my situation.

To define a shoe return/support policy by "6 months" duration without knowing usage by mileage or hours walked is laughable.I also work in a product + service oriented field and know policy and guidelines are established for a reason, so I digress. I do hope you are able to route the quality concerns to your quality control team in hopes to prevent issues in the future.

Just what I wanted

I wear these on my feet, where they look good. Slimmer profile and less bulky than many other trainers, which is what I wanted. The light green is a nice colour. Not so good when worn on the hands or ears, however.

Loyal fan, but a little disappointed

I've been a loyal fan of vans for 20 years. This is the first pair I've purchased that started falling apart prematurely. I bought these back in May, but just started wearing them about 3 weeks ago with very light use. ( I only wear them a few minutes a day in to work where I then change shoes). The insoles started to peel back and wear near the heel on 1 shoe. I usually get 3+ years out of my vans without this happening. Usually it's the bottom of the soles that begin to wear and, even then, they are still wearable. Disappointed, but hoping this is an anomaly and not an indication of decline in quality. Anyone else have this problem?

Sneakers received and everything perfect

They are the second shoes that I buy because of how comfortable the first shoes were and how long they lasted. I usually wear between 40 and 40.5 in sneakers / trainers, and I think I remember the last one I ordered was 40.5. However this time my size is 40. I recommend them without hesitation, 100%. Regarding this store, they have good prices and I have received the package earlier than expected, although it is true that I had problems with the first order, perhaps due to the consequences of the covid, so I will not take it into account for the future. Recommended page, with quality products at reduced prices. I will buy again for sure!

Unwearable:(

I love the regular authentics and have bought many but they wear out very quickly so i thought i would try these. They look great but unfortunately i guess the extra cushion lets your heel sink down and causes constant rubbing on back of ankle so i always get blisters/bleed when i try to wear them. I was hoping i could break them in but it didn't get better. Not really a problem if you only skate in them but you just cant really walk anywhere in them....

disappointed

This would have been my second pair of Authentic Shoes. Had my first since 2015, wear them pretty much every day 6 months of the year (in WI) and they've held up great. This last year the insole finally wore out and I decided to replace them. They've changed, man. Thinner canvas, no cushion in the heal, and larger fit overall (I got the same size I had). Returned them.
