VansMen's Filmore Seasonal Sneaker

No complaints on fit or speed of delivery as they were spot on. My big problem is that after a couple of months of wear there is an inexplicable rip that’s developed on the top of the shoe (only describe it as the rim of the shoe). Now having worn vans for years I know they are very durable and sadly in this instance they haven’t been. And I’ve not been able to get in contact with anybody to discuss this further. It’s not as if I’ve stress tested these shoes as I work an office job and wear them to work so there’s no reason they should be falling apart this early on.

These are not genuine Vans the soles are a composite hard plastic!! And if you compare to high street retailer you will see the differences in design!

Not sure if I ordered the wrong type; but not as good as the last pair I bought in a Vans high street shop.These are basically plimpsoles. The ones I bought from a vans shop had an insole which is super comfy and the sides and back (around the ankle) are all padded; whereas these are not.No vans tag on the side and red rubber logo already falling off (after 2 days of wearing them around my office!) Have me questioning if they are authentic or not.

A tiny bit big. Could have gone half a size down even though they are true to size apparently. Thick socks will do the job but I wont be wearing them when it's hot. Might not be a problem. I got a good deal when they were on sale, so swings and roundabouts.Anyway first I was worried they were going to be fake as ward are strange Van's as Van's don't actually sell them on their site. But when I got them I did all the tests and they passed all of them, including the barcode being right and the clk on the sole and sticker inside and outside the box. So all good. I will probably save these till autumn and get them waterproofed.The shoes a pretty much old schools but have tiny differences like the Van's logo on the tongue and some of the stitching patterns are a bit different.All in all a good day to day shoe. Just like old schools and cheaper.When you get yours do the barcode test, benable test (sole should bend easy at end of toe cap) and the sole code check and your good to go.Eg mine had CLK on one panel on the sole, then a little round sticker inside the top of the box and on the barcode on the outside of the box and your safeGood purchasePs muticolour laces not included

Firstly, the laces are made of polyester or some such cheap feeling and looking material. What happened to good honest cotton and quality laces? Secondly, the eyelets, apart from the top one on each side, have no metal reinforcer. Consequently, after a few weeks of tugging and tightening I imagine they will rip through and break. WHERE IS THE QUALITY? WE WANT TO BUY NICE THINGS BUT THESE DAY'S IT IS ALL CRAP AND DESIGNED ON PURPOSE - I REPEAT: ON PURPOSE - TO WEAR OUT! There is no way on what was once a green and lush earth that we are gonna save the planet or humanity's sad a** as long as we are all happy to carry on frantically buying cheap and exploitative resource-wasting crap. Like these sneakers. The answer is a social one; as much as a political one. What was even more upsetting was that I repeated exactly all of this to my daughter and all she replied was: "They look nice, though!". There is no hope.UPDATE 16.5.21: I have replaced the laces with 100% cotton laces natural colour from e b ay and it has enhanced the sneakers no end! Also: I am finding them extremely comfortable and they are wearing well, so have upgraded the rating to 3 stars.

I bought these in November as a Christmas present for my sonAmazon say they are genuine Vans productMy son had contacted me todayThey have cut his heels to bitsNever had this problem beforeAlso he checked where madeIt says in PhilippinesSo he googledVans do NOT make in the PhilippinesSo these are not genuineDisappointed and annoyedI use Amazon a lotLet’s see the response

Not sure if they are genuine Vans as my son had never seen them with label showing on the outside of tongue, they also have less eyelets than his original ones

These Vans trainers are fantastic. I've been used to wearing their 'Old Skool' style trainers but thought I'd have a change and bought these. I didn't think it was possible to get comfier trainers than the 'Old Skool' trainers but these changed my mind. They are so, so comfortable. Definitely a new favourite and will definitely purchase again. Worth every penny.
