Our take on the Vans LX Authentic Ease Checkerboard Black/White

The LX Authentic Ease is Vans' premium take on its oldest silhouette, the Authentic, rebuilt with buffed leather and suede panels and a full checkerboard print. It keeps the vulcanized rubber sole, lace-up build and heel logo patch of the original but uses a softer, more padded construction than the standard canvas Authentic. It suits people who want the classic Vans look in a dressier, more durable material, and it sits above the basic Authentic in build and finish while staying simpler than the cushioned ComfyCush line.

Questions and answers

How does the LX Authentic Ease differ from the standard Authentic?
It uses buffed leather and suede instead of canvas and adds a padded lining and collar. The shape, lace-up build and vulcanized sole are the same.
Does it fit true to size?
It fits close to other Vans, but the cut runs narrow. People with wide feet often go up half a size.
Is it comfortable for long walks?
It is fine for short errands and casual days. The flat vulcanized sole has little cushioning, so long walks are not its strength.
How should I clean the leather and suede?
Brush suede with a soft suede brush and wipe leather with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing, which damages the materials.
What is in the box?
One pair of sneakers with the laces already fitted. No extra laces or care kit are included.
Is the checkerboard print on the whole shoe?
Yes, the check pattern runs across the upper, with a rubberized logo patch at the heel.
Where is the Vans LX Authentic Ease Checkerboard Black/White cheapest?
