I would say as a first experience with Vans shoes it's okay, but for 70 euros I don't know if they are worth it... They don't have any crazy comfortable sole technology to justify the price. They have a narrower fit than the typical shoe, so my size 44 feels like a 43-43.5 (This might be a general characteristic of all Vans). Also, they have creased from use even though I've had them for 2 months now... And let's not start talking about the color. I got it for white-cream, but it looks more like 2 shades of yellow with a white center. The characteristic wavy line is not particularly visible in this color due to the central white canvas. Finally, at the heel, at the toe of the shoe, and at the lace holes, the material is suede which is difficult to clean!
