First introduced in 1966, the Vans Authentic is the original Vans style and a true icon of creative culture. The Made for the Makers version keeps its classic, low-profile look while updating it for long workdays. It features a durable leather upper with a water-resistant finish to help protect your feet from stains, along with metal eyelets and a simple design that stays true to the original. Inside, a cushioned insole supports you and helps absorb impact for all-day comfort, while the slip-resistant outsole with Vans’ signature waffle tread provides reliable grip on a variety of work surfaces.
