The shoe looks a little clunky by Aufnaht and slightly higher lacing system. This impression is put into perspective somewhat by the Vans for pleasing unassuming sole edge. Other models have since like this old school look with a very wide and mostly white sole ring. Here is this, because of the brown color, inconspicuous and the shoe wins in my opinion, much more attractive. Hardly recognizable as Vans, there is a simple leather shoe for vielsitige claims. The sole is very handy and are for smoothness and snow quite good grip. In order not to completely destroy its really good shoes in the winter - at this price as a temporary Winterschuh a buy recommendation.
