Customer Reviews Vans UA Authentic 44 DX

Some said size was off "Anaheim Factory" shoes are made a little different than the regular ones so you may have to tweak your sizing!

Well all I can say about the Anaheim 44 DX is it really is a wonderfully comfortable and very well-made shoe. So good I bought the black and white. I was on the fence about the red and I already had a pair of the blue. But you can never have too many pairs of Vans so I bought both red and another pair of blue!

I wear the Authentics all the time and I just love them, My feet never hurt in them and I love the padding inside. Keep up the good work, Vans. You rock I am only wearing Vans from now on.

Absolutely love these. They fit perfect, they look great. Better than the skate ones for sure. The higher foxing makes the toe cap area look smaller and I just think they look very classic, as they should. Bought the blue and just got the black. Will be getting the red sometime as well!

Would absolutely buy again. Hope the staple colors remain in production for ever.

Just want to know if they are going to stay producing these, or if they are just limited time only. The best vans in my opinion, fits true to size

so comfortable and cute so happy i decided to purchase the sneaker version. i get so many complaints!

Love these Vans! Thanks

Great show, fits to size and is very comfortable. I would like to see more color options, thank you

Idk why anyone is saying they fit tight. I was about to get a size up because of the reviews and so glad I didn't, if anything I'd get half size down! My normal size is 10 I'm a true women 10 in everything, these are a little loose.

A lot of comments were saying to size up but I'm glad I didn't. I'm a true size 10 and they fit perfectly fine. If you have a very wide foot maybe your size up..? I still have plenty of wiggle room in the shoes. They're comfy and cute.

I have worn Vans for over thirty years. They never let me down.

Been looking for this this Colorway of the era for a while. I am so happy it's back can't wait to buy more.

Yet another great shoe from Vans in my favorite line. I'll be honest I had no idea what Noons Goons was but I know 44DX. The shoe fits as expected and what a great Fall color, thank you and keep on making 44DX! -Your devoted and loyal customer for life!

Great product, even better Brand. Always kept a wide selection of Vans in my closet and adding these were a great addition! Shoe is super comfy! I have a wider foot and yet it still fits to a very pleasing comfort. The material is quality and the color way is true to the website display. Matches the Vans Tie Dye T-shirt I bought to perfection!

Having purchased many dozen of pairs of 44's before they were called Authentic or the better Authentic 44 DD, I feel pretty comfortable in saying I have bought more of them than anyone (well over 100 pairs in white alone). The 44 DX are as close to the originals as one can find, other than the added sewn on Vans tag and the "Off the Wall" fused heel tag. These were originally referred to ads "Van Doren's" as that is what the blue heel tag read. I hope that the company adds these to the permanent offerings as they are more accurate and a bit more durable. The same goes for the blue sperry sole version that was briefly offered again this summer, in the original graphic layout box. At a time when all other manufacturers are cutting corners Vans has gone the opposite direction without gouging their loyal customers. Good job!

I am always a bit hesitant to buy off white anything because sometimes they appear yellow but these are exactly like the photo!

will only buy the authentic 44DX. Regular are garbage and look funny.

Are the laces uneven on purpose? Couple pairs of mine came that way too. Humans against Bi-lateral symmetry! I dig it. I do like the cotton laces over the usual loosely knitted laces. Please make in Birch color way, again

love them

Vans never disappoints ! Always fast delivery and quality shoes we have loved for decades

I really wish I could send these back and get a replacement because they are way smaller than they normally are and they actually hurt my feet. I love them so much too :(

The 44dx is my all time favorite Van's shoe but it is different from the original re-release a few years back. The foxing tape is not thick like the original Anaheim Factory 44 which probably explains the name change. Please bring back the original foxing tape that was thick and had an old school vibe. These new 44's have the same foxing tape as regular authentics do and they shouldn't. The toe box is longer and not like the original 44, so why call it 44 anything if Vans isn't going to honor the original design?

The pair shipped quickly and arrived in great shaped. They were mis-sized though, a half size smaller than expected. Ended up sending them back for that reason. They were more comfortable than the plain authentics, but the skate authentics are much better for me.

Had to return them because they were a half size too small. Also the description says they have a comfortable insole, but they're not much different than the original authentics.
