Vans Authentic Lenkkarit

Ordered a pair with 4 lace holes because I like that style better but received 5 lace hole shoes. Not a huge problem but I wouldn't have ordered them if I knew they weren't what I wanted.

This was my very first pair of shoes. Yes they make them really small and really large. I sure miss the blue rubber soles though. Not sure why Vans doesn't make those anymore. Now they call these authentic but they are not the true authentic VanDorens I used to wear. I remember bombing down hills of LA on my skate board coffin style and using my shoes to steer and brake and all the blue rubber dust would cover my entire shoes. Please bring back the true VanDoren!!

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is a fantasy novel written by the British author J. K. Rowling. It is the first novel in the Harry Potter series and was Rowling's debut novel. It follows Harry Potter, a young wizard who discovers his magical heritage on his eleventh birthday when he receives a letter of acceptance to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry makes close friends and a few enemies during his first year at the school. With the help of his friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, he faces an attempted comeback by the dark wizard Lord Voldemort, who killed Harry's parents but failed to kill Harry when he was just 15 months old.

The shoes are great. But like atmosphere grey is literally Beige…… it's not the color grey.

I've had a classic black pair of Vans for years. Love them!! So just ordered 3 more pair. New ones have no padded tongue or padding on collar like my old pair.
