I’m a 9.5 normally in sneakers. I’ve been wanting to wear Era’s or Authentic’s for years now until finally it was the right time. I got a pair of Era’s and they become too tight. I tried them on in store and they felt good. I then bought authentic’s and they were also uncomfortable. I tried a size up but they felt like clown shoes. Thoughts if maybe my feet are built for vans?

Does everyone else also get their littles vans?

I’ve checked a couple Zumiez and Vans and nowhere seems to have it in my size

Just wanted to stop by and say happy cake day.

BMX’er and long time vans wearer here feels so good to finally have our own line of vans but I’d wondered if any skaters have tried them out or if any of the features they have compared to normal pro models make for a better skate shoe

Me and the gnome match.

I have some slight stains on my vans. I'm afraid I'll make it worse. Does anyone have some cleaning tips?

or just broken in

First time doing customs and wondering what the best thing to use to seal after painting is? Using acrylic and GAC900.

Friend asked for them, but it has been eons since I have painted and feel like I am making this up as I go along.

Thanks in advance. Progress shot for tax.
