    I absolutely adore these shoes! I got them at a Vans store in College Station and the cashier was really sweet and we got very fast service! I got tons of compliments on these my first day back to school from Spring Break. hey have stayed white since through skating, rain, mud, all of the above! Definitely cannot wait to get a new pair of Vans! :)

    I wear this shoe all the time, however the first day I wore them I walked to school in them and once I got there my ankle was covered in blood. It hurt and I had to wear thick bandaids for a while before I broke them in. They're cute and comfortable but they chafe your heels a lot at first.

    Comments about Tri-Tone Era:

    I love this shoe, but in the beginning they kept rubbing my ankles, and it took a lot of walking to loosen them up. Now they're very comfortable and stylish!

      Comments about Tri-Tone Era:

      I wore these shoes to a Spring Fever concert (Pierce the veil, mayday parade, you me at six, and all time low). As it was general admission, everyone was standing and you have to wait on line for a long time before the doors open to be able to get in the front. I was standing for three hours before the concert started and my feet didn't hurt at all. I was jumping and standing throughout the 4 hour concert and my feet did not hurt!! These shoes are so durable! There were times in the concert where people were stepping on my feet and i was pushed. When i left the concert, i realized that the shoes were not even dirty! I absolutely love this shoe!

        Comments about Tri-Tone Era:

        These Vans were my first pair ever. I have the blue, pink, and gray one. I can't go through a week of school without wearing them at least once. I'm obsessed with Vans! I feel like no matter the weather my Vans never have any permanent damage. I do not recommend wearing socks with these shoes. And u should definitely bar lace them, it looks MUCH better that way. But if you choose a pair of shoes with three different colors you have to be careful to match VERY WELL. I cannot stress the importance of the rite outfit to rock with these shoes.

          Shoe is too narrow, Apparently all Van's shoes are medium width- no wide option- was unaware of this, but still like the shoe itself, will get it stretched at shoe repair store!
