The Authentic is the original Vans silhouette. First introduced in 1966 and driven forward by creative culture ever since, this time-honored shoe keeps the old school vibe alive with sturdy canvas uppers in seasonal colorways. With its classic low-top design and iconic rubber waffle outsole, the Authentic Wide is a blank canvas for creativity that allows you to do your thing in your own unique way. Wide width sizes provide a spacious platform by a bottom width that is 5mm wider and a ball girth that is 10mm longer than our regular width sizes.
