Yea I was just looking at those too. Not sure if it helps, but a few weeks ago I got the W87 the other canvas shoes that look like vans authentic. Quality seems good so far and I think it works well for my feet, since they're average width low volume. Had issues with splay in terms of sizing, the 10 was too small and 11 was too big so I just ended up taking the insole out of the 10. Think I would want some more cushion since I'm usually going out on the town with them.
That aside, I would say the quality of splay is better and I like the ankle cuff since I used to prefer vans era over the authentic. If by chance you also have the Xero Hana, I would say the W87 is similar in quality.
