Vans' storied history, and our connection with skate and surf culture, began in 1966 Southern California with the rolling out of a single pair of shoes. They were named Authentic. In the generations since, they have only gotten more popular amongst hardcore skaters and skate enthusiasts. Their design is simple, stylish, and effective: a low top lace-up profile made with sturdy canvas uppers, and signature waffle rubber soles.

    I love the look of these shoes however i was slightly disappointed that half way through my first day of wearing them i noticed a tear where the upper half of the shoe meets the rubber sole and since i had already worn them out, there was nothing I could do about it. There also seems to be some loss of glitter, but not a major amount. Other than that they're very cute and hopefully they'll be more comfortable once they're broken in.

    I LOVE these shoes! I couldn't wait to show them off, but after a few days of wearing them I noticed that they are tearing at the crease on the left shoe. I could understand the shoes wearing out fast if I wore them everyday and ran around in them. I work in a library and I sit most of the day, I only wore them 4 days. They fit great but I didn't pay for a nice pair of shoes to wear out within 4 days. I have never had this problem with Vans shoes before.

          My daughter loves them. The appearance is the best for her and the quality of Vans is the best for me.
