Vans. 'Enough. But just in case you need clarification. These are classic and durable skateboard shoes (or normal fashion shoes). As soon as they arrived, I buckled my shoelaces, grabbed my skateboard and smashed it at the local skate park for two hours! The "adhesive strip wear" cannot be seen! A bit of dirt from the plaster, but that was immediately gone with Clorox Wipe. My vans were red. The red really stands out, it's bright and contrasts well with the white soles/laces. Nice. I got lots of compliments! I also ordered my normal shoe size, men's 7. Boom! Fits perfectly. No break-in period required. Just put on and go! 5 stars honey! what are you waiting for now Order them now! :D
