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

I'm 56 and this is my first pair if Van's. Love them. I really like the soft rose color and very comfortable. Will be super cute with Capri pants.

Great comfy shoes, could do with being a little larger. the width may be a problem for those with larger feet.The colour is fantastic and goes with my shirts.Good grip for a sneaker type shoe, especially on wet surfaces.
They coordinate well with either blue or black denim jeans. They would also be great to wear with a cute dress and denim jacket. They are so comfortable to wear. A second pair in my closet is probable ;)
I love Vans. Classic canvas are my favorite. I wish the purple was brighter but I still love the overall fit and comfort. Got these to replace a pair that is wearing out (also own 3 other pairs. Vans are the best)
Okay. I had these shoes for 8 years and recently had to give them up because they were so worn. I cried as my roommate brought them down to the donation box. We've been through so much together: doctors appointments, running in the woods, beaches, break ups. I love them. I wish I didn't have to throw them away but they had holes and the heel was so worn it hurt. I remember going to the vans store with my best friend and he picked out these shoes because I was wearing them (6 years into my ownership) and the employee saw mine and was impressed and proud at how worn my shoes were and how nice they looked because of it. I cried putting them in the donation pile. I regret it every day (it's been three days). I currently have two pairs of vans. So now I'm ordering ... MoreOkay.

Love these, clean and classy. Go great with some khaki's or black biker jeans. And usual vans dexterity, perfect for whatever extreme art you are exploring, whatever tight rope you are walking.
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!
Love the colour a lot, and the shoes are very comfortable when you order half a size bigger than your usual vans size (IMO).However, I hoped to receive the 4-eyelet version as I think that looks a lot cuter on my feet.The description says:• 4 metal eyelet lace rows for sizes 3.5-6• 5 metal eyelet lace rows for sizes 6.5 and upThe UK 5.5 I received had 5 metal eyelets though - please correct your descriptions, as it's quite disappointing when you receive an item different than described.
