I always have to buy a new pair of Vans every year. I really dig the suede on this pair. I’ve had this particular pair for over a year and there are barely any creases, the suede never gets scuffed. My favorite thing about vans, are that they can really go with anything. I’m a size 8 in women and they are true to size. Especially after breaking them in after a month. I did make a bad choice and wear them when they were brand new to six flax’s magic mountain. We had to park further tha. I’ve ever had to. And the tram was broken. I ended up with blisters all over my feet from all the walking in brand new shoes. Not the best idea to wear a new pair when you have a lot of walking to do. Other than that I have zero complaints! Vans, off the wall.

I love that my kids too love Vans as much as I do. Finding a shoe that kids will wear is a choir, picking and has to be super comfortable. I was over joyed when I bought my daughter these and she loved the way they fit. Vans are made well, durable, will wear well and last a long time. These are a shoe that the more you wear them the more comfortable they will become. They also are always affordable. Besides being made durable, they also clean up easily which is good for kids. They are also versatile, can be worn with dressy or casual clothing. Always a must in our household and now a must for my kids. We be repurchasing Vans as long as they make them.

Blisters!!!

I’ve always been told Vans are comfy trainers to wear, so I thought it would be worth the £70 I spent on them… it was not. I wore them for a short walk around my local area, I was out for 15 minutes and my heels were shredded. I’ve never had such a quick blister formation in trainers. For shoes that are so expensive, they should not be causing blisters. I laced them properly, had them on right, had decent socks on, I don’t walk funny. They’re almost unbearable to wear. I can’t even drive in them. Such a waste of money, and I can’t send them back because they got a bit of mud on them when I went out. I’m so disappointed. You’d be better off buying literally any other brand.

Classic old school with better features.

Hey I'm Jay and I've been skating Vans for a few years now. I generally go through shoes quite quick with casual skating. I like the fit of Vans and the features that come in the skate series. These shoes fit a little wide when compared to Nikes or NBnumerics but still are a classic. Overall the look and feel great.I used these shoes for skating here in the Netherlands and I'm generally pretty happy. I usually skate on the Kyle Walker pros and had a previous bad experience with some old schools due to their durability, but these new old school skate versions how met all my expectations. The Duracap over the toes makes sure that i can skate longer without holes in my shoes and the Comfy Cush insoles have got to be the comfiest insoles that already come with the ... MoreHey I'm Jay and I've been skating Vans for a few years now.

The only cons i can see are that they're a little wide so people with narrower feet might not be so comfortable in them. Other than that, they're a solid skate shoe and it is definitely worth it to go for the added perks of the skate series than just the classic series.Great shoes to skate in, durable and comfy. Maybe they're a little wide so watch out if you have really narrow feet.

Disappointed

Ordered a custom pair of old school vans. Waited weeks for delivery only to be disappointed.The shoes seem cheap, even for vans standards. Generic/ off brand quality.The shoes aren't wide despite being labeled as such. I'm guessing this shoe is a redesign of the old school shoe. It's not really suited for wide feet. Pointy toe box and the laces are too close together. I think they are trying to save on material by going slim. It seems like design is inspired by Converse.I should have just stuck with the slip-on in wide. It seems to be the only somewhat comfortable pair of vans I can wear anymore.Vans is more preoccupied with being trendy or diversity politics rather than making a half decent skate shoe.I don't have time to exchange these so I guess I'm ... MoreOrdered a custom pair of old school vans.

Durable

Vans shoes are popular for their laid-back style and versatility. They're known for their comfortable and lightweight design, making them ideal for everyday casual wear. The canvas or suede upper offers a wide range of colors and patterns to choose from, catering to various fashion preferences. Vans are also great for skateboarding due to their grippy soles and flexibility. However, some users may find that the durability of the sole could be better, especially with heavy use. Overall, Vans are a trendy and practical choice for anyone looking for a stylish and comfortable shoe option.

Excellent value and speedy delivery

I've never owned a pair of Vans before as they've always been a little out of my price range but I decided to go for these as they were on sale. I've always admired Vans from a far and glad I bought these. They fit really well (I'm a size 4.5/5 and got a 5 so no issues with being too tight etc) and are super comfortable (lot's of room for all feet widths I think) I cannot complain. The delivery was really quick (about 2 days) and the trainers weren't damaged and looked completely brand new so I'm really pleased. They didn't come fully laced up but I didn't mind that plus the blue is more of a denim blue rather than vibrant blue (again I didn't mind that). The heel part is cushioned and the soles feel reinforced so these will definitely be great if you wanted to ... MoreI've never owned a pair of Vans before as they've always been a little out of my price range but I decided to go for these as they were on sale.

Finally a true Wide shoe from Vans

This is truly a wide shoe. I've always loved the simplicity and timeless style of vans but they never really fit me like I would want them to. They've always been to narrow for my foot even after breaking them in after some time I really disliked how much my shoes leaned to the side because my foot was too wide for the shoe. No one truly understands that frustration unless you've dealt with shoes that look normal on other people but don't on your own feet. For years I've searched a wide fitting shoe from Vans and finally they're here. In other brand shoes I usually go for 2E - 4E this almost feels like a 4E shoe. There's so much space and width I find them very comfortable. I hope Vans continues to offer Wide in all their styles and color ways.

NEW DEADLIFT SHOES

I'm a senior citizen and beginner weight lifter. I need balance deadlifting. I read about Vans on power lifting websites. I bought some for the gym. First I removed the glued down insoles, not too hard to do. Put in my prescription, custom orthotics. These Vans have flat bottoms and they stick to the floor. Perfectly level and stable. So glad Vans makes a wide shoe. I tested these out during deadlifts and I am very satisfied with them. For my purposes these shoes are outstanding. They have 9 eyelets and wide cotton laces so I can tighten them exactly the way I want. This is my first pair of Vans.POSITIVES:Excellent weight lifting shoes especially dead lifts and leg presses.They grip the floor.They look good.9 pair of eyelets.Reasonably priced.

YES! Excellent! Wide toe box Van's! Make more options, PLZ!

Love it. I've been off the "off the wall" wagon for a minute since I wanted to start wearing shoes that fit my foot a little bit better (wide-toe box shoes). I had been wearing Altras for my everyday shoes. great shoes, but overly dorky. I missed the style of my old schools but didn't want to sacrifice my comfort. When I saw Van's was making the old schools and a few others in a wide version, I was excited but cautious. I ordered, put them on, and they are excellent. They fit great and aren't too narrow for a long day's wear. My only gripe? I want MORE! More colors, more styles! Make em all in Wide now too PLEASE! xoxo
