An honest review from 3 pairs.
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. ...

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.... Show more

Ankle edge split on first wear.
I bought in store which were discounted 20% so instead of £65 they were £52. On day one of wearing them one shoe split on the ankle collar so returned to change them but they didn’t have my size. The store could not order me my size and said they would issue me a refund and said I could re order on their website. So re ordered on website but no discounts and a £4.99 fee to get them sent to the store costing me £70. Not good customer service.The new ones have been fine and the look great. Vans always come up bigger as I am a 10.5 or 11 usually but size 10 fits perfectly like all my other vans.... Show more

Canvas & suede VANs
Bought these in the sale for less than thirty pounds in baby blue colour. Price was competitive, but wouldn't pay full price for these trainers. They will likely last less than 1 year like all other Vans trainers, the inside foam will give way then the soles will detach from the top before wearing out fully. The suede makes them a bit stronger than a canvas only top.... Show more

Cute and comfortable and girly!
These are super cute and pretty comfy - the tongue is a little stiff and digs into the top crease of my foot a bit, but not too bad, and it may soften up in time. The pattern on the side is really pretty - I'm going to get some pink and light green laces to add some flair. I also like the soft "Marshmallow" off-white color of the canvas, though we'll see how well I can keep it clean! (I haven't had anything but black sneakers in years!)... Show more

dude what happened?
These vans look fake and they’re small and the gum line is disgusting. Also, looks like burn marks next to the shoelaces on the top of one of them. Don’t know but these are the weirdest vans I’ve ever had my life and I definitely do not want them.By the way honestly Ontrac is the worst delivery system ever. I don’t know why Nordstrom‘s messes with them. Some packages come from UPS but that’s rare. Ontrac’s customer service is garbage lol you can’t even talk to a human being on the phone.... Show more

Fantastic present for my partner
I purchased these shoes for my partner as he has been trying to get his hands on this exact pair but they have been available in his size. Just before it was his birthday I tried the John Lewis website and they were available.He was made up with them and has worn them already, stating they are really comfy and easy to wear as they go with most things.I'll definitely keep an John Lewis when looking to update my trainers as I was pleasently suprised to find this pair available in his size as they are really popular.Delivery was super quick too!...

Great classic Vans- never disappoints!
These Vans are the best of the best. They are as stylish as they are comfortable. My son cannot live without them so once his old pair is looking a little distressed, he buys a new pair. He says these Vans are his go to pair for an everyday wear regardless of where he’s going or what he’s doing. It’s even better when you get them on salad at DSW!... Show more

My son's favourite trainers!!
Bought these trainers as part of my son's Christmas presents - he has always loved Vans Trainers for their comfort and style and has had many pairs. When you consider the price of many brands, which can be ridiculously expensive, it makes these extremely good value at their price. Not silly money, would definitely continue to buy for their quality footwear. A big fan!!... Show more

Review of Vans Ward Canvas Trainers - Black/Black
I bought these shoes together with another pair. They arrived together in one package and these shoes were also in a good and properly condition.One thing I noticed: They exist in a male in a female version. Here I bought the male version, which is heavier in weight and built a bit differently (one more shoelace hole for example). I didn't knew that, so I have to accustom to it.... Show more

Review of Vans Ward Canvas Trainers - Port Royale/White
Everything went good with this order. The delivery was quick (from UK to GER), the shoes were new and properly.I would buy shoes from Standout again.One thing I noticed: They exist in a male in a female version. Here I bought the male version, which is heavier in weight and built a bit differently (one more shoelace hole for example). Also it seems they are a tiny bit longer than the female version; I slip a bit in these shoes. I didn't knew that, so I have to accustom to it.... Show more
