For those still wanting Eras, you can still go to the Vans site and get Eras from the Customs section. Typically I was getting all suede Skate Eras that way, but you end up paying $80-$100 for 'em, which is kinda brutal. But if you need your fix, that's the way to go. I don't really skate in them so they last me like a year or so, although the last pair the sole disconnected from the wrapping a bit sooner than a year. I got my Skate Authentics in, and so far they're just as comfy as Eras. No pain yet, but I've only been wearing them around the house.
