Purchased a couple pairs of these Vans for my sons. They are a great casual shoe; comfort level is subjective to the individual. I find the sizing to be very correct, might be a slight small, but all of this depends on what brands you are normally familiar with; for instance I find Asics to run very small (needing a 12 when I use an 11) and if you are used to that brand sizing etc..Wear and Tear; I find that Vans wear out differently than standard sneakers. Their sole seem to last longer, while the glue/stitching right were your toes bend always breaks open fairly quickly. They also get dirty quickly and look ratty and hard to clean up, imo.With this specific series of Vans my sons and I were disappointed between the style variations just between color choices. ... MorePurchased a couple pairs of these Vans for my sons.

The Black/White were really nice and the toe cap area was swede type material but you could hardly tell vs the canvas type material. Meanwhile the Grey version's toe area is solid shiny leather type looking material which makes for a really different look that you cannot see/tell the difference in the online pictures.

I bought these for my husband. They are his second pair of Vans and he absolutely loves them. They are a nice looking casual shoe that is really comfortable. Highly recommend!

Like the style, not an athletic shoe though, width was kind of tight across the ball of the foot. I usually wear a medium width. Almost returned, but really feel this will loose up in a few wearings.
