Bedfords are my shoe of choice for Vans. I have 3 pairs so far: the Black Suede, Eric Elms, and this one, Native American (my newest). The Native American is the best colorway I have, not because it's my newest but because it simply just is. It feels slightly bulkier when I wear it than my other two Bedfords but not much of an issue.
My only complaint is, and this goes with my other Bedfords and probably other Vans shoes as well, that the soles seem to wear off easily under normal walking conditions. It wears off easily to the point that the OTW rubber seal at the back of the heel gets affected also. I am sort of a sneakerhead so I take good care of my shoes and I'm very conscious of how I walk when I'm wearing one of my favorite shoes. Even with my careful walking, the soles on this seem to just wear off faster than I hope it would for some reason...
Overall, I love this colorway and I'm looking forward to the next special colorway on the Bedford model.

I use this shoe everyday for school. It looks good, but feels loose. Luckily it's winter, so I wear thick socks everyday, but when it warms up, I'll have to deal with them being loose.
