I've bought the shoes, because my girlfriend is very excited about Vans. She had her last Vans worn for 4 years. And they saw at the end still good. It had in summer, in winter, autumn and spring. And they have kept top. I hope that is in my also so :) I can now testify course nothing about the durability of the shoes, but since they were delivered only yesterday been the fabric feels very valuable to the shoes are beautiful and sewed exactly have a thickness sole and are still pliable and veeeery comfortable. I run a lot and like to and have the shoes attracted the same on the day of delivery to a long walk and they were really the entire time on super comfortable and did not press. In addition, they look good and are modern. So -> A strong buy recommendation !!
