Description

The Heritage Shoe that Started It All. This is the

Authentic—Since 1966.
The Authentic is the original Vans silhouette. First
introduced in 1966 and driven forward by creative
culture ever since, this time-honored shoe keeps the
old school vibe alive with sturdy canvas uppers in
seasonal colorways. With its classic low-top design
and iconic rubber waffle outsole, the Authentic is a
blank canvas for creativity that allows you to do your
thing in your own unique way.

MOST LIKED POSITIVE REVIEW

My second pair in two months!

This is the perfect little deck shoe. I bought the

"navy" and it's not a true dark, sailor navy, but
rather a softer navy. The first pair leaned a tad to
chambray, without being too light. I loved them
so much that quickly purchased...

Terrible quality: they changed something

I got a pair of these last year and loved them!

Once they ripped I immediately ordered a new
pair, but these are not the same quality. I had
three pairs of vans and loved each of them. I am
very disappointed. They are in worse conditio...

CLASSIC
So I typically buy Nikes .. and they run about 100-
150.00. I bought 3 pairs of vans for that same price
of one. I love the black and white because you can
wear up or down.(dressy or jeans) I love the way it
makes my ankles look.

BEST SHOE BY VANS

I always buy the Authentic style and will continue to
buy them. They're stylish and comfortable. This is my
go-to shoe to wear, for work and for leisure. My only
complaint is I tend to have to buy a new pair about
every 1 to 2 years, but that could be because I wear
them literally every day. Awesome shoes!
