Short answer?

Take Charged Assert 10 if you weight the AI ranking; take Classic VN if buyer ratings and a lower price matter more. That's where they diverge — elsewhere they're close.

How this is made

I bought these a few weeks ago to wear on a weekend getaway. These were perfect! It only took a few steps before they were the most comfortable casual sneakers ever. I've wanted these for years and finally bit the bullet and bought them. I am so happy I did. I wear them with jeans, pants, shorts, skirts and dresses. They look great with everything. I hightly recommend them. Glynie · dsw.com
