The shoes are very good quality leather with rubber waffled sole. In my opinion they are stylish, and will look good with both casual and more dressy outfits. My only worry is that the laces will become miscoloured/dirty very easily, whereas the shoes are easy to clean due to the material.

Comments about Premium Leather Authentic Decon Shoes:
Bought a pair a few years back that lasted 2 years wear and tear, but this new version tore at the toe on both shoes within the first two months. Up your game Vans.

Comments about Premium Leather Authentic Decon Shoes:
Bought these for my 10 year old son, as school shoes. Third week back at school and he has come home with one sole almost completely detached, just hanging on at the heel and the other sole flapping like a crocodiles mouth. Utter rubbish!
It's a shame because I really liked the look of the shoes and my lad has been after them for over a year.

Comments about Premium Leather Authentic Decon Shoes:
I wouldn't buy these shoes again. I am a huge fan of Vans and I normally get the canvas ones in white, but after going through so many pairs (because they dirty so quickly) I thought I would get the leather ones. They started to fall apart after only a few weeks. The leather literally is stuck just to the sole edge so the leather has ripped away from the sole and I am left with a large hole.
Really poor quality. Very disappointed.

Comments about Premium Leather Authentic Decon Shoes:
Bought these not even 1 month ago, and the sole begun to rip open on the sides. Have had to super glue it together a few times as it is not holding very well at all.
Would NOT buy these again!
The leather has completely creased, and if you ever wear jeans with them watch out for stains!

Comments about Premium Leather Authentic Decon Shoes:
These were bought for school shoes as they are trendy enough for the daughter whilst still adhering to school regulations.
Nice, sturdy shoes, seemingly. Ordered on 2nd June, they arrived very swiftly. Unfortunately by 7th July they are already falling apart. My daughter is not sporty at all so it's not down to playing rough at break time. She walks to school, around school and home again.
Most unimpressed for the price.

Comments about Premium Leather Authentic Decon Shoes:
Unfortunately these weren't great. They looked good when they came out of the box but instantly were ruined with one wear. The rim got dirty quickly and the white leather looked really creased.

Comments about Premium Leather Authentic Decon Shoes:
Only bought these a couple of months ago. After buying them my daughter told me quite a few people at school had them but they were splitting at the sides. This week my daughter's have split and are leaking. If they were cheap ones from Primark I would expect this but haven't had them long and cost a lot. Apart from that they are comfy. Wouldn't recommend these or buy again

Comments about Premium Leather Authentic Decon Shoes:
They're so comfy, stylish and white! Love them! Travelled abroad with them on and my feet didn't sweat or hurt at all! I bought a 6.5 as usually my toes pinch but honestly I'd have been alright with a 6

Comments about Premium Leather Authentic Decon Shoes:
I needed new school shoes that looked kind of cool but would also pass as smart and these have done the trick! Also when they forgot to include a stick had great customer service and they sent me another one. Have a strong collection of Vans now and these embody the reason why.
