FIT

I’m typically a 10.5 in most sneakers. For Vans, (Authentics & Old Skools), I’m right in between US 10 and 10.5, but I choose to wear US 10.5 to give myself some extra space. So the fit runs about a 1/4 size big imo.

STYLE

I saw these while walking through the mall (at Journeys) and immediately went to buy them. Unfortunately, they didn’t have my size, but I ordered them online right away. I’ve always been drawn to anything monochromatic, but have always felt there were very limited options. Warm neutrals play a huge part in my wardrobe, so I was really excited about these.

COLORWAY

This color way is called Khaki Monochrome.

COMFORT

For being a thin sneaker, Authentics are more comfortable than you would think. I wear white Authentics & white old skools as my “everydays” and I’m a huge fan. I can do a long day of walking without any foot/heel pain like some other sneakers cause. They’re definitely not one of the most comfortable shoes I own, but they’re fine.

Overall

Overall, I love these sneakers and highly recommend this specific colorway (which is exclusive to Journeys). They’re extremely versatile when it comes to style/outfits and they’re just unique enough to be noticed/complimented.
