Really disappointed...I know they're made with 'recycled materials' but boy do they feel like it. I love my original Ultras and just want to replace them but all the different iterations since just haven't cut it for quality! Hugely disappointed as I love Vans and always work them.

Pass on these shoes, very narrow, and a full size too smaller than my other Vans. The material felt like my toes could bust through it if I raised my toes. Also the sole has a very weird curve to it in the middle making it feel even more narrow. Just not the quality of most Vans.

I was really excited to receive these shoes, hoping they would be perfect for mountain biking or easy hikes on groomed trails. Unfortunately, the aggressive curve around the inner arch support causes the shoe to pull your foot forward. This makes the foot pull away from the heel area, and in turn the heel moves up and down inside the shoe - essentially the same action you get when wearing flip flops. It also caused a pressure point in my arch area that would be a real problem for someone with more advanced plantar-fasciitis.The sock-style construction leaves no way to tighten the laces enough to secure the rear of the shoe to your achilles area, and you essentially have a piece of rubber and cloth moving independent to your foot, with no support whatsoever.These ... MoreI was really excited to receive these shoes, hoping they would be perfect for mountain biking or easy hikes on groomed trails.

Really comfortable and good fitting shoe. Great to wear wit or without socks. Flexible and sorry. Fit as expected and they look great.
Great fit, even for my wide-ish feet, I normally don't have issues with Vans, but one of my previous purchases was a little snug so I couldn't wear them, but these are super comfy and smart enough to wear if I have a casual work meeting.The mesh is quite forgiving for my wide feet and high instep, and the eco Cush is very welcome.
Lightweight, and very comfortable. In real life "more material-fabriky" than others. Colourway true to pic
