I never thought I would ever buy a pair of Vans but this is by far the best purchase from them. I thought that these would be uncomfortable but they are not. I have fat feet and they surprising does not squeeze my feet. I ordered a 8 in men's equivalent to 9.5 in women's and they fit perfect. I definitely will buy more in different colors. I ❤️❤️❤️❤️ them.
Who doesnt like vans? They are stylish and come i so many different colors/patterns.
My son says they fit well. He likes them.
At first I was gonna buy a size 10 D(M) mens, but then i just decided to get my original size which was 9.5. When they arrived, I tried them on and for the first couple of days, they were kinda uncomfortable. I was afraid that I would have to return them but due to my AP (Always Procrastinating) nature, I didn't. After a week, realized that i didn't need to return em because they were no comfortable for me feet. It was like the shoe subconsciously adjusted to my size. It was magical. Anyways...VANS are beast.I be rocking my skateboard with themBetter traction on the friction board.Highly versatile.I "HEART" Vans
Larger than a size 10, also received the wrong color. I ordered these because they were supposed to be navy, they are black.
The product is called comfy Cush and has no cushion at all they are the flattest shoes ever no support but they look nice and fit well
I love these shoes. I get positive comments all the time. The are more comfortable than authentics.
