I ordered another style of shoe and it was out of stock and it is still not in stock so I settled for this shoe. Sometimes things happen for a reason. I love this shoe. I wear an orthotic insole in all my shoes and this shoe easily accommodates the orthotic and the shoe is stylish. It looks great with jeans and it has a solid feel so I can use it for short hikes or long walks. Because I spend a lot of time outdoors and in casual wear, this shoe is a good choice.

My daughter loves these shoes. They are comfortable and true to size. More importantly, Zappos proves its commitment to customer service time and time again. They are the best!

It's very comfortable, and it came in less than a week. I suggest getting the exact size you wear for your other sneakers. Great for girls and guys! They also come with white laces. I got the ones with yellow laces, but the white came too for free.

Love these shoes! Super simple, bright, and fun! Only downside is the white rubber around the bottom gets scuffed pretty quickly but it's easily manageable with some spray cleaner. They're also not the warmest shoes but that's expected due to the materials.

At first I wanted Navy suede etnies Taylor LS but they were out of stock so I decided to find something in that style and discovered Vans. I've heard about them but now I see that they are brilliant. I bought dress blue and it is very stylish, sexy, comfy and once again very stylish. I am going to buy other colors too. They go with almost everything. I am a 17 years old boy.

Bought these for my daughter and my son for Christmas. Both pairs have already started to wear out quite a bit. The rubber has separated from the canvas on both pairs right at the ball of their foot.

My daughter didn't break in the shoes before wearing them new into Disneyland for two days! She was okay on day one, but on day two, she was hurting, but she liked the shoes! I also ordered another pair, in black, for my other daughter. She's been wearing her black shoes everyday since she received them! BTW we ordered them and got them one day later! Must be a California thang.

Got the "Italian Leather" white-colored version of this style, & it was definitely worth it. I've always loved how a classic clean white shoe looks with pretty much anything you wear. I've had my fair share of white canvas shoes (from Vans & some other brands as well), & was looking for a non-canvas white shoe to throw into my pretty small collection of shoes. I got really excited when I saw that there was a "leather" version of this style. It's only been a few days & I am completely impressed! "Italian Leather" must be code for "already softened, not stiff-at-all leather" because I honestly think these are softer than a new pair of canvas Vans. They wipe clean, unlike canvas shoes, & I just hope I can prevent that yellow color that develops over time. For comfort & style I totally recommend the Italian Leather version of these shoes!

Have these in 3 colors and I love them! Being a city dweller, I walk a lot! These sneakers are functional, trendy, comfortable and practical for everyday wear, hence the three pairs! I have flat feet and find the key to support for me is to tighten the laces and wear an inexpensive insole with an arch support. I walk about 5 miles a day and have no problem with my feet bothering me with these-- Truthfully, I have my eye on two more pairs!

I always wear a 12, and these are perfect fit. Slip on easily and feel fantastic! I have a little issue with Vans (I LOVE them and buy too many of them), so I was a little hesitant to order, but the fact that these were Authentics, in real suede AND and awesome color (they call it brown, and it is but it leans towards burnt orange). In fact if Zappo's send's me another coupon, I will be buying the green suede Authentics. They may not want to feed my habit though...

Even though the white gets dirty easy (as expected) they’re easy to clean due to the canvas material. The rubber sole and rim is a nice touch as well. Love my vans!

Vans. You can’t go wrong. I love a gum sole and fun colors so I am in heaven.

I love vans, but the fit is not very "foot supportive." I add my own arch support from a drug store, and I can wear them all day long. It also aids in making the fit "true to my foot." Very, Very cute fall street shoe!!!!!!!!!

I was looking for a fun summer checker gingham shoe. I have never owned a pair of Van’s; our boys have worn Van’s through the years. I decided to buy these because I really liked the pattern. I’m very pleased with the style, comfort, and look. I wear orthotics and I wasn’t sure if I should go a half size larger, but because the reviews stated that Van’s are true to size, I ordered my normal size 8. My orthotics fit nicely, and I am pleased with my choice. My husband even said that he liked these...and he’s normally opinionated about my shoes!!

These shoes are comfortable, perfect for working out, and stylish. I recommend them, but I do find them to be a little bit big for the size marked. I'm still giving them 5 stars.

I ordered the black with the yellow and brown laces. The flat insole is great for people, like me, who have their own insoles. This is a great shoe. Love Zappos.

Just like I remember them. These old school Vans fit great right out of the box. A rugged and durable shoe. They will last you a long time. Be sure and wash them in cold water only, and then let them air dry. Otherwise the canvas material may be discolored by the rubber sole of the shoe. These are really awesome shoes man.

Simple skating/sailing classic!!! Totally sweet. I really just bought them because they were special edition ones with the Descendents logo all over them ... but I don't regret it a bit. No arch support, but nothing a little insole can't help. Perfect fit, light but sturdy. Woooooo Vans! Let me also say that the laces are of a notably appropriate length (not too long or too short).

I only wear Vans authentic. The material is more like their “canvas” style material. The color is true to what you see online. I wasn’t sure I’d like the gum sole but I am so glad I ordered these. As always, Vans Authentics make for another happy customer.
