Customer Reviews for Vans Authentic - Men's

Vans Authentic - Men's

Every so often, a shoe style comes along that creates a buzz just based on its name. Case in point: The Vans Authentic. The first Authentic hit the shelves in 1966, and has since become a hugely popular choice within the skate community, while also carrying the weight of being the staple shoe that launched Vans into the iconic brand it is today. It's clean, simple, and always has great coloring options. The Vans Authentic features a Canvas upper for classic stylin'. Die-cut EVA insert for padding and support. Gum-rubber outsole and vulcanized construction offer unmatched flexibility and grip.

I like the look of these vans but they are more of a casual type of shoe. The soles are pretty thin to skate in and the canvas rips easily. I would buy them again for casual wear.
Pros: lightweight, stylish, runs true to size, comfortable, stays clean a long time
Cons: non-durable

So, I have about 7 pairs of Vans, 6 of them being the Vans authentic and I like every pair. They fit kinda big so I would suggest possibly going down half a size or wearing thicker socks to make up for it.
As far as feel goes, there are some shoes that I just can't wear all day. These are NOT one of them. They are so comfortable to chill in it's ridiculous.
The only problem is that the sole is kind of a pain to fix and these get kind of dirty easily. Oh well. Still a lovely shoe.
Pros: lightweight, cool colors, stylish, durable, comfortable
Cons: gets dirty fast, runs small, hard to clean

I have had these shoes since Christmas and I just skated with them for the first time and they ripped. Also they started to tear on the sides within the first three weeks. Don't buy these shoes they are small and thin.
Pros: lightweight
Cons: runs narrow, runs small, uncomfortable, hard to clean, non-durable, non durable

I've had this shoe for about 5 weeks. They look great, but don't hold up at all. They get a hole in the first week of skating them on the side of the shoe. But overall it was fair.
Pros: lightweight, cool colors, stylish, runs true to size
Cons: gets dirty fast, runs narrow, runs small, uncomfortable, hard to clean, non-durable

When UPS failed to deliver purchase properly, CCS went above and beyond to ensure that their customer was satisfied first and deal with UPS second. Very pleased!

The shoes are about 4 weeks old and the side linings are separating from the shoe already which is a little disappointing.. apart from that they have not faded in colour and the soles have not yet started to wear.
Pros: comfy, good colour
Cons: break easily
