Warning FAKE VANS!! I received fake Vans from this retailer. I have owned dozens of pairs over the years and currently own about 25 pairs of Vans so I'm very familiar with authentic Vans. The shoes have uneven stitching that's coming apart in places, also the fabric was much more thin and flimsy than normal. The branded insole had a patch that was glued down over the original insole, which does not have a Van's logo on it. These are 100% fake. I reached out to the sales rep to get a certificate of authenticity, which of course they can't offer. They want me to ship the shoes back at my own cost ($30 to ship back!) so they can validate them. Why don't they validate them before they ship?? All the top retailers do this. I guess I'll be sticking with Goat from now on for all my Vans.... Very disappointed.
