Our take on the Vans Authentic Skate Shoes Terry Lace Black/Soft Orchid

The Vans Authentic is the original Vans low-top, a canvas lace-up sneaker on a vulcanized rubber waffle outsole. This version pairs a black canvas upper with soft orchid terry laces for a small color accent. It is a flat, unisex casual shoe with no cushioning tech, so it suits short days on your feet more than long ones. The latest best price is $27.47 at 6pm.com as of October 28, which is the only price seen in the recent range, so there is no cheaper point to compare against yet.

Questions and answers

Is $27.47 a good price for these?
It is a low price for an Authentic. That is the only price recorded since October 28, so there is no lower point in the recent range to beat it.
How do these fit compared to other Vans?
They fit like other classic Authentics: true to size for most people, slightly narrow for wide feet. If you are between sizes or have wide feet, consider going up half a size.
Are they good for skateboarding?
They can be skated, but the Authentic is a casual shoe. The canvas upper and thin sole wear faster than Vans' dedicated skate models with reinforced uppers and cushioned insoles.
Do they have arch support?
No. The footbed is flat with minimal cushioning, so people who need arch support should add an insole or pick a different shoe.
What is in the box?
One pair of shoes with the terry laces fitted. Expect no extra laces or insoles.
When is the price lowest?
Clearance and end-of-season sales tend to bring the lowest prices on classic canvas Vans. Watch the price history around those periods rather than buying at full price.
