As I a user of this shoes this shoe is very comfortable , simple and casual.It has a different way of style that you can feel.It is little bit expensive that we have to purchase.They are all made in third world Asian countires and have spotty quality control in my opinion. What usually happens with Vans is the sole begins to separate .and usually relatively quickly after you start wearing them on a regualr basis. It’s the construction technique used to make the shoes .called vulcanizing .that’s the issue. With most Vans, the gum rubber waffle sole and the sides ( called "foxing") are separate pieces. The vulcanizing process is supposed to weld the sole and foxing so it becomes one piece.
