I've tried a bunch of sneakers in this price range and these Vans have been a solid pick. I appreciated how classic yet unique the design is – it's not your typical high-top but still gives that laid-back skater vibe. The canvas upper is comfortable straight out the box, no breaking-in period needed for me. After three weeks of daily wear, they're holding up well with minimal scuffs.
One thing I noticed though, which might be a deal-breaker for some, is how quickly these shoes collect dust and dirt. They've got this kind of suede-like material around the heel that seems to attract every speck of dust on the street. It's not a huge issue since they're easy to clean, but it does mean I have to give them a quick wipe after each wear.
Other than that, they're comfortable, stylish, and haven't given me any blisters yet – what more could you want from a pair of $60 sneakers?
