Hey all! I’ve been wearing the Authentic Gum Shoes for years and unfortunately can’t wear them any longer, mostly because they exacerbate the bunions in both of my feet.

Has anyone found any other similarly styled shoes that have far better arch/soles? I’ve tried the ultra range and they’re fine, but of course not the same aesthetically.

    I’m not suggesting ultraranges, you said you tried them, but after owning a few pairs myself and falling in love with the feel, I really wish Vans would start incorporating that level of comfort and support across the board, all styles.

      I absolutely agree. The ultraranges are super cozy! I just… like the the way the authentics look and why can’t we have all of the nice things? Haha
