I bought in store which were discounted 20% so instead of £65 they were £52. On day one of wearing them one shoe split on the ankle collar so returned to change them but they didn’t have my size. The store could not order me my size and said they would issue me a refund and said I could re order on their website. So re ordered on website but no discounts and a £4.99 fee to get them sent to the store costing me £70. Not good customer service.The new ones have been fine and the look great. Vans always come up bigger as I am a 10.5 or 11 usually but size 10 fits perfectly like all my other vans.

Bought these in the sale for less than thirty pounds in baby blue colour. Price was competitive, but wouldn't pay full price for these trainers. They will likely last less than 1 year like all other Vans trainers, the inside foam will give way then the soles will detach from the top before wearing out fully. The suede makes them a bit stronger than a canvas only top.

This were my first pair of Vans ever and I wanted to give it a try as I liked the model very much but I was scared to buy due to past bad experience with another brand but similar model. I can say, I LOVE them!!! It changed my mind completely, 2 weeks after I bought this pair, I bought one more and I am planning to buy many more from now. Sooooo comfortable, sooooo coool and nice and literally goes well with everything. Let me tell you: the first day I worn them was the day I took the plane for holiday. Imagine having to travel couple of hours with a new pair of shoes. Most of the tine is chaos and I can't walk after the first hour. But with this Vans, I didn't even feel I have them on. They passed the test!!! After the journey with the plane, I worn them for 3 days ... MoreThis were my first pair of Vans ever and I wanted to give it a try as I liked the model very much but I was scared to buy due to past bad experience with another brand but similar model.

They passed the test!!! After the journey with the plane, I worn them for 3 days weekend festival and I had them on for more than 10 hours every day, walked a lot, danced the whole nights and so on. So yeah.....thank you VANS!!! Was love at the first sign and 1000% will be a long time love from now!

I purchased these shoes for my partner as he has been trying to get his hands on this exact pair but they have been available in his size. Just before it was his birthday I tried the John Lewis website and they were available.He was made up with them and has worn them already, stating they are really comfy and easy to wear as they go with most things.I'll definitely keep an John Lewis when looking to update my trainers as I was pleasently suprised to find this pair available in his size as they are really popular.Delivery was super quick too!
These Vans are the best of the best. They are as stylish as they are comfortable. My son cannot live without them so once his old pair is looking a little distressed, he buys a new pair. He says these Vans are his go to pair for an everyday wear regardless of where he’s going or what he’s doing. It’s even better when you get them on salad at DSW!
I've been wearing the skate pro model of this shoe for quite a few years now, and this was my first return to the Original Old Skool shoes. These shoes lack the comford of the Skate Pro model, which has Pop/Comfy Cush insoles. These are flat, hard and your foot will sit lower in the shoe, closer to the ground and therefore going to take more impact. Might be preferable for those wanting to feel a skateboard more under their feet, but not going to be great for walking around all day. I'll be ging back to the Skate Pro model, even if there is less colourway choices.Also, what is up with Vans using YODEL - 9 days delivery time from order is simply unacceptable (this is not 2005). Vans really needs to get with the times and start using DPD.

Vans really needs to get with the times and start using DPD. Every other brand of comparable size is able to get items to customers next days or 2 days max, especially in Central London. For this reason alone will never order directly from Vans again.
Rocked them on day One!Feel perfect.Want them in other colors.Blue, Tan, Charcoal (conservative)Teal, Orange, Gold, Green, Purple (electric)I'd buy them all in checkerboard.Or use gray as an option to white in the stripe, strings and checkerboard.
I have bought these checkerboard vans at least 6xs in the past 2 years because my son's feet keep growing. He loves these shoes and requests that I buy the same style each time. They look good with his school uniform and with the sweats and shorts he wears on the weekends. Love that these don't cost over $100 and last until his foot grows out of them.
I commute on an MTB with quite average quality flat pedals, at work I need to change clothes, that takes a lot of time with laces. In fact after 22 years of commuting I was done with the laces making my life too difficult. :) These shoes provide excellent grip on the pedals also in wet weather, the sole is pretty stiff, so power is going to the pedal. I probably could use them for all my MTB trips, but now looking at a laced version for that. :) I have EU 43 and bought EU 43, and would say with my current mild winter socks it is a perfect fit.
