I purchased these to use as a kind of do all shoe. I have a pair of Vans Ultraweld that I use for casual wear and also for playing golf in. I saw these in the same vein but also as a shoe that I can wear to work out in. I do studio workouts that involve a lot of lateral jumps, weighted and body weight exercises and either rowing or bike. The shoe is light, well cushioned and give’s enough stability for these workouts. And it’s a good looking shoe.

I’m not sure what’s going on with Quality Control, but my husband only wore these a few times within two weeks after receiving them and the shoes are already falling apart. It’s very disappointing because we’ve never had any issues with Vans before.

With out a doubt the most comfortable pairs of vans I own. I own three pairs of these and they all get regular use. Whether it be on my feet all day for my job, downtime over the park with the fam or just out for a walk, these have seen me right for as long as ive had them. Theres slight question over durability as, reading the other reviews and from personal experience, there seems to be a bit of weakness around laces and toe but I wear them until they fall my feet so not an issue. Would highly recommend to anyone and quickly become my go to sneak.
