I own a lot of pairs of trainers, I will be the first to admit it. Everyone likes to collect things, and my favourite thing to collect is trainers! However, I feel I can justify this because I actually wear every pair of trainers I've bought and none of them get neglected. I just like to have a choice! Vans are one of my favourite brands to buy and the 106s are an excellent style.

I bought my pair from a Vans outlet store for ?20 which I saw as an excellent deal as they normally sell for around ?45. When I buy my shoes I always look for a good deal first and the Vans outlet store at Gunwharf Quays in Portsmouth is always a safe bet. The colour I chose to buy is a very light mint green sort of colour, and the classic waffle sole is a bright lime green. I've never seen this colour in any shop before, and before I started writing this view I had a look on the internet to see if you can still buy them and you can't. I unfortunately couldn't even find a picture of them! Currently you can buy a large range of different colours, from the normal navy blue and black to some really nice looking washed blue canvas ones. As this style isn't the most popular at the moment when compared to the Authentics, you can't get as many different colours but there's still a large range to choose from.

With these shoes, I've found that they don't stretch as much as the Authentics so I bought a size 4.5 instead of my usual size 4. Around the arch of the foot they seem to have a slightly looser fit, which I prefer a little bit as it's more comfortable when you're wearing the shoes all day. In my other reviews of Vans shoes I've also mentioned that the shoes hurt a little at first before the sole begins to get a little more flexible and these are exactly the same. As I said before, they don't take very long to do this, so if you did buy a pair and they hurt just persevere a little bit because it does get better!

I find the shoes to be very well made, but when you've had them for a while the sole at the back starts to wear away a little bit. I usually just fix this by putting a bit of superglue between the sole and the outer sole, and they're absolutely fine for a few months before it needs doing again. This is just normal wear and tear of the shoes and in my opinion, nothing really to worry about. The canvas is thick enough to be sturdy, but thin enough to be breathable. I took these shoes on holiday to Cuba where it was hot and extremely humid, and they were still comfortable and breathable.

Like most other plimsoll style Vans, these shoes are excellent for wearing with casual outfits. There isn't many casual outfits which these don't go with - and if you buy a black and white pair, they'll go with every colour as well!

Summary: Great every day shoes
