Well, I always wanted to try this baby! We are talking about a stylish and full of personality peace, so my husband got me this one for my birthday and I’m so in love with my Vans. Even though I am not the skater girl type I find many ways to include it in my outfit and as you can see in the pictures it goes well with a dress too! Also, something that I think is important to mention, usually when buying bulky types of shoes your can question how comfortable they will be, I'm saying that because I did, and here is the answer, it is pretty comfortable! I hope this post convinced you to get your vans too haha See y'all in the next review 😘

I love these sneakers because they’re so comfortable despite being flat. They’re easy to wear around all day without hurting your feet or causing discomfort. They go with pretty much every outfit because of the simple design! They fit true to size. They’re a great sneaker to wear for many occasions - I think they can be dressed up or down. They’re also available for men, women, and children! They’re affordable and sold at many stores.

A hole developed in 2 weeks of wear. Avoid

Yea they look beautiful but a hole developed out of no where on the top front suede bit, above the joint of the smallest and small toes. I've had the shoes 6 weeks! The shoes were worn a total of 4 times (due to the grim U.K. weather, they were being mostly saved for dryer weather!) uses were - drive to and walk around some shops, get on a plane. Somehow this hole has developed with NO strain whatsoever on the shoes with light use. This is terrible for the price and I'm now looking for claiming against the warranty as it's gone past the 30 day period.

Comforts unknown

The smell. Oh, the smell of a fresh shoe. The unboxing is always a wonderful stage as you get the first glance but the smell takes you along to another land, filled with flying unicorns and fresh shoes that grow from the cabbage patch. This shoe, however, exceeds all others. Soft from the ball of the foot to the tips of the toes, it hugs you into a false sense of something like hovering. The plump cuffs snuggle up gently to your ankles in a manner akin to how you would imagine a calf does to mother cow. To top it off, you look even cooler wearing them than you do holding them.

Definitely

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.

So yeah.....thank you VANS!!! Was love at the first sign and 1000% will be a long time love from now!

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.

I would not buy this product again.

The shoe came in a not perfect condition, and I did not realize and wore it just once and when I told JDSports about it all they said was "too bad you wore it already". So I find that the QC did not even do their job right and also a bad way of handling the case. I did not know I had to inspect every part of the shoe before wearing a brand new shoe and thought that it had a defect to it. I thought I could have trusted the company and its QC to do a proper job but I guess I was wrong about that. Also, the shoe has no grip so when the floor is wet the shoe gets slippery.I hope the company would do something about it for both my defective shoe and the grip of the shoe.

Love the platform and low rise

I’ve worn these multiple times now for a lot of walking and had no problems. I wore them with no-show socks. I struggled trying to figure out what size to get bc I also have a pair of Vans platform slides that I had to order down (size 8) a size. I wear an 8.5/9, usually a 9 in flats. For these the size 8.5 were perfect even with a pair of no-show socks. I do not have narrow feet or wide they’re pretty average. I have a high arch and suffer from plantar fasciitis often and the first time I wore these for a lot of walking I was dealing with a bout of plantar fasciitis. These provided plenty of arch support for me (no additional arch support/inserts used) and I never had any pain even though I was on my feet for a long time.

Nice but painful

I had the original old skool vans for 5 years and loved them. I spent hours on my feet at work and the only reason I needed to replace was because how battered they looked/support had gone. I was very excited to try the comfycush version.Well... I ordered two sizes, one the same as the last pair and one 1/2 a size up. I kept the 1/2 size up as they felt hard at the back and stiff. This obviously may be because of comparing them to the lack of support in my old pair or a redesign. Everything seemed the same EXCEPT they are maybe 1cm higher and the lining in the heel has changed. The previous version had a leather heel protector, this one has material. Two weeks in and I have a cut on each heel from the rubbing. Hoping as they wear in this will go away. As for the ... MoreI had the original old skool vans for 5 years and loved them.

It isn't an immediate ahhh cloud feeling like I imagined. They feel comfier and more supportive but again I'm used to very worn in vans. Of course I love the look, that's why I repurchased them and will continue wearing them. I just hope going half a size up to avoid the rigidness doesn't come back to bite me in the bum and they end up too big as they've worn in.

Product excellent. Service grim.

Waited a full calendar week before receiving entirely the wrong shoes. Like completely wrong.What I got were furry (seriously), grey shoes with a zip and velcro fastening. They were even the wrong size.The Vans 'contact us' email form did (does?) not work, WebChat took WAY too long, so I had to report the issue via phone which turned out to be a reasonable experience. A really nice guy called Tiago informed me that Vans don't do swaps or replacements. You have to return the item and start again from scratch. I was assured that the refund will be automatic, once they get the item back.Tiago emailed a returns form which I had to print out myself.I did everything as instructed, and handed the package over to their courier collection point on 18th December.

Today (4th Jan) I have had to chase the refund which turns out to be not quite so 'automatic' as I was led to believe.I wanted these for Christmas, so I had no choice but to get them from somewhere else with a better delivery ETA.Ordered on 17th, I received the Comfycush Old Skool Shoes, right colour, right size - everything - on 20th. 3 days.It ain't rocket science, is it?I feel sorry to leave a 1 star review, because the shoes are excellent. I love them.(They do come up small, though, presumably because of the comfycush bit.)But I can't give anything more than that, considering the overall experience.It was a bit of a shocker, tbh. Maybe Vans should just stick to making them and not supplying them.
