Its almost been more then a year and the shoes had never given me any problem. I am having the red-white boat design shoes and they are really very nice. Some of the people complain about the shoes that it is very bad quality shoes but from my perspective they are superb quality shoes, most of the people face problems after washing the shoes. Yes they are not wrong but let me tell you one that you should never wash these vans cause there are not washable shoes. But, if you want to clean them then you can clean them with wet cloth. They are superb shoes go for them.
