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.

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.

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

One star for the idea. Otherwise very poorly made. on arrival I could see creases from the toe liner underneath. looked like the shoes were wrinkled. Vans don't generally last long but these I would give a week before they looked tired.
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.
These have a great look in pictures, but I noticed the canvas and rubber has changed.I may be used to older vans, but the quality seems to have gone down.Still great looking shoes!
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.
I was ecstatic to buy these shoes and hoping they would be my new standard pair, but I quickly realized that you pay significantly for the low price tag.Within a month the inside heel began to peel on the left shoe. Two weeks later the right shoe followed. After two months both heels were completely stripped and it would squeak with each step as my heel rubbed the shiny surface underneath.Three months out and I can no longer wear them because there is a black mold growing throughout the entire inside of the shoe.To be clear, I wore them every weekday and walked about 6000 steps a day, and I kept them in a dry place to air out every night. I live in California now, so there really isn't anywhere damp to keep anything.I'm sad they failed so horribly. Again, I was ... MoreI was ecstatic to buy these shoes and hoping they would be my new standard pair, but I quickly realized that you pay significantly for the low price tag.Within a month the inside heel began to peel on the left shoe.

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!
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.
