Love these vans! I have thin feet and have a hard time finding sneakers that aren't too floppy. My previous pair of vans lasted over 7 yrs b4 wearing a hole thru the toe of the shoes. Tread itself is still almost perfect on the old ones.

Well, everyone seems to be wearing these where I live so I decided to try them out. They are very comfortable and light, but the sole of the shoe has worn out over time, unfortunately. Other than that, great shoes!

I thought the shoe would have some type of arch support and cushion. It did not. I liked the look of the shoe though. I bought shoe gel inserts for support and cushioning. Other than that, the shoe was ok.
Wears this shoe: Went to Disney World and brought them to walk around in. February 7-12, 2013.
