The Vans Authentic is Vans' original low-top lace-up sneaker: a canvas upper, no lining, a round toe and a rubber sole with a cleated tread. It is the simplest shoe in the Vans line, with no padding and no side stripe, so it is lighter and plainer than the Old Skool or Era. Owners like it as a warm-weather everyday shoe and a canvas blank for customizing. The trade-off is thin cushioning and little support, and the canvas wears at the toe and heel with heavy use.
