had it for one year of continuous wear through rain, mud and snow. held together well but it shrank due to the repeated soaking in water.

I wear these to work every day. Even with the “memory foam” I still added a foam insert

This review is based on trying them on once.
I really like this shoe. It's very comfortable for an "old school sneaker", It has a removable insole with surprisingly good arch support and more cushioning then you'll find in a typical canvas sneaker. They're also very soft and won't rub your ankles raw. Unfortunately, I can't justify keeping them, but I find it difficult sending them back, because I like them so much (i.e. only so much closet room for shoes.)
The sizing is very accurate. They may run a little on the large side, but that's what I'd want, so I could wear them with heavy socks in Winter months. So, I disagree with those who suggest sizing up or down, because they're actually quite accurate (they're definitely not too small and I don't think they're even close to being too large, either.) The Teva brand used to run all over the place with sizing, but the last few pair I've owned and have been really consistent and accurate.
I didn't try them on a bike, but I suspect that they're very good bike riding shoes, because the soles are quite firm. In fact, I would have liked them better if the sole wasn't so firm, but I expected them to be firm as bike riding shoes. Overall, I think they're very nice sneakers, but I'm looking for something a little more fashion oriented.

Bought these because wearing my gym shoes for long days on my feet just was not fashionable. These shoes look great while being very comfortable to wear all day on my feet. They are super lightweight. The nylon is very thin and not very water resistant, but then again what nylon shoe is. For reference my gym shoes are Nike Free 5.0 and Flyknit 4.0. If those shoes are 10 out of 10 for comfort and support, I give these 9 out of 10. I cannot comment on durability, but I am going on vacation soon so we will see how they stand up to probably 100 miles of walking in the next month or so.

I love these shoes! They are my everyday shoes! I originally bought them for a trip to Thailand as an easy slip on and slip off for sightseeing at the temples...it was perfect. I now use them just about everyday. They are very versatile and so comfortable! They were a bit bigger than I expected and I ended up exchanging them for a 1/2 size smaller as they stretch with use...and they were perfect.

I love it that these shoes are exactly what my husband has been wearing for at least 5 years. I looked everywhere in stores but only found them here. They are perfect and fit so well.

This was from amazon personal shopper. This is not my type of style for shoes. They weren't that comfortable but I normally wear sneakers. My wife loved them but I decided not to get them.

wonderfully confortable

Authentic, and true to size in both width and length. Zero arch support for those over forty. These Vans slay me; the checkerboard style reminds me of high school, 5,000 years ago, and dancing with the Italian Formula One team in Long Beach 4,000 years ago. That's right, I'm having a mid-life crisis and Vans helps assuage my desires.
