Our take on the Authentic Skate Shoes

The Vans Authentic is the original Vans skate shoe: a low-top canvas sneaker with a suede upper, a padded Ultracush footbed and Vans' signature waffle rubber outsole. It is a slim, unisex silhouette that works as an everyday casual shoe as much as a skate shoe. Against cushioned modern skate shoes it trades padding for board feel and a clean, minimal look. Owners rate it highly for comfort, durability and timeless style.

Questions and answers

Is the Vans Authentic good for skateboarding?
Yes. The waffle outsole gives grip and board feel, and the suede upper resists wear from the board. It has less padding than dedicated pro skate shoes, so hard riders may want more cushioning.
How does the Authentic compare with the Vans Era or Old Skool?
The Authentic is the slimmest and simplest of the three, with no collar padding. The Era adds a padded collar; the Old Skool is bulkier with a side stripe and more support.
Does the Vans Authentic run true to size?
Most owners say it fits true to size. People with wide feet often go up half a size because the slim cut runs narrow.
Is the upper canvas or suede?
This version has a suede upper. Vans also makes canvas Authentics, which breathe more but wear faster.
What is the Ultracush footbed?
It is Vans' cushioned insole, added for extra comfort underfoot compared with a plain flat insole.
Can I wear the Authentic for long walks?
It works for casual days, but the flat sole and low arch support make it less suited to very long walks than a cushioned running or walking shoe.
Where is the Authentic Skate Shoes cheapest?
At J&R Bicycles BMX Super Store, for $55.00, 15% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.

Rated 4.6 out of 5 from 143 ratings.
