Vans Ward Sneakers Black / EU 44

Purchased a couple pairs of these Vans for my sons. They are a great casual shoe; comfort level is subjective to the individual. I find the sizing to be very correct, might be a slight small, but all of this depends on what brands you are normally familiar with; for instance I find Asics to run very small (needing a 12 when I use an 11) and if you are used to that brand sizing etc..Wear and Tear; I find that Vans wear out differently than standard sneakers. Their sole seem to last longer, while the glue/stitching right were your toes bend always breaks open fairly quickly. They also get dirty quickly and look ratty and hard to clean up, imo.With this specific series of Vans my sons and I were disappointed between the style variations just between color choices. ... MorePurchased a couple pairs of these Vans for my sons.

The Black/White were really nice and the toe cap area was swede type material but you could hardly tell vs the canvas type material. Meanwhile the Grey version's toe area is solid shiny leather type looking material which makes for a really different look that you cannot see/tell the difference in the online pictures.

I bought in store which were discounted 20% so instead of £65 they were £52. On day one of wearing them one shoe split on the ankle collar so returned to change them but they didn’t have my size. The store could not order me my size and said they would issue me a refund and said I could re order on their website. So re ordered on website but no discounts and a £4.99 fee to get them sent to the store costing me £70. Not good customer service.The new ones have been fine and the look great. Vans always come up bigger as I am a 10.5 or 11 usually but size 10 fits perfectly like all my other vans.

Bought these in the sale for less than thirty pounds in baby blue colour. Price was competitive, but wouldn't pay full price for these trainers. They will likely last less than 1 year like all other Vans trainers, the inside foam will give way then the soles will detach from the top before wearing out fully. The suede makes them a bit stronger than a canvas only top.
