I love these shoes. I ordered in white, and I love the fit. I have wide feet and felt comfortable. I normally buy Converse platforms, but these were better because they're all white. I received several compliments. I definitely don't agree with the other reviews and wonder if they buy platform sneakers regularly.

I absolutely love these vans the leather has had some staining but I don't think I took care of them properly. I really wish that they would come with cleaning instructions however I have had them for about 2-3 years now and they are just now falling apart after wearing them just about everyday of my life. I have definitely gotten my wear out of them.

It pains me to say this because I had such high hopes for these shoes - but they are terrible for me! I have a pair of slip on Vans and loved them so much that I ordered these too. I ordered the same size, so I tossed out the box/packaging without thought. I wore these the next day and got giant blisters on the back of my heel. I've tried to wear them again since hoping they just need to be broken in but my heels are not having it. I'm not sure if it's the leather or what specifically made these so awful on me, but I would not recommend 😩

I bought these in both black and white because they look great and I’ve owned several pairs of vans in the past and they’re so comfortable.This unfortunately after several wears still hurt after long periods, but mine is at the front. Theyve definitely made the front more narrow and it’s less comfortable. House read the reviews before purchasing as now it’s way too late to return.
Lovely shoe. Vans has a large selection but unfortunately being size 2.5 not so much in the platform style but came across these and decided on this colour. I was not disappointed when they arrived. They are comfortable, stylish and give just alittle height. Ordering was easy and delivery was good. Alittle heads up though you do need to sign for them, cannot be left in safe place.Just wish they did more colours in my size.
Well the shoe looks great, a classic styleBut the tumble material compared with the classic old Skool is way different not only in the material itself but in the way that it feels on foot ... unfortunately this shoes scraped my ankle as the tumble material is harder to brake in ... something that you have to have in mind when you're choosing which style is right for you ...Maybe wearing some high socks instead of low cut socksWill work to break them in ...until my ankle healsHard to say ...Ps : they also crease a lot
I bought these shoes for work, and don’t get me wrong they were very comfortable and looked nice, but after a while the sole came away from the shoe. I’ve seen other people on external websites mention this too and I think it’s due to the extra weight on the sole being attached to a canvas, lightweight shoe. They still lasted me a good few months and I was wearing them 5 days a week- but they’ve definitely not lasted as long as any of my regular vans
I have had some terrible misfortune with Vans the past couple months when purchasing their shoes online and through customizing. I have ordered directly from Vans for a lot of years now and have had many custom pairs made, but the last custom pair was a disaster - literally. I purchased this exact pair but custom in all leather but every eye hole on both shoes were doubled punched, the binding was crooked as well as over lapped, one shoe was almost a pointed toe while the other was round, the "white" leather was textured and yellowish in color, and had lumps/bumps all around the side edges. So, I sent them back and ordered these. This pair is made of synthetic leather which I really didn't want but after the disaster custom order I wasn't going to do that again. ... MoreI have had some terrible misfortune with Vans the past couple months when purchasing their shoes online and through customizing.

So, I sent them back and ordered these. This pair is made of synthetic leather which I really didn't want but after the disaster custom order I wasn't going to do that again. When these came I couldn't believe that I had yet another pair of Vans that look like they were slapped together in a rush. They were dirty in areas despite never being worn, which is not coming off. The Vans logo on the back of the one shoe is straight while the other is extremely crooked and the logos have a smudged/smeared appearance so it looks like I bought these from an outlet type store who sells defective shoes. I had ordered this exact same pair about a month prior from another retailer and the tongue was synthetic leather however on this pair the tongue is cloth. A cloth tongue in an all synthetic leather shoe looks cheap and the colors of white don't match so even with the laces it's very noticeable. The fit of these are just ok, they definitely don't fit the same as the pair I bought from the other retailer nor fit like any of my other Old Skool Vans I've owned over the years. To say I am extremely disappointed in Vans would be an understatement and sadly after buying Vans since the 80's I don't think I'll be buying another pair.
Wow! what can i say about these other than they are the messi of skate shoes. Before I couldn't skate but now Tony Hawk wants my signature! The fire adds an extra 10 MPH and I leave skate marks without even being on a skate. I have severe depression and i hate myself but now these added a fire in my life like never before.
These are so comfy, they are the first pair I’ve had that several people have complimented me on. They are a little weird on the sizing I found the shoe was really narrow and tight I returned them and went into a local store and tried them on in the next size up and they were too big so tried my original size again and they were perfect ? I don’t know if they were labeled incorrectly or made differently but worth trying another size as these are my favourite ones so far!
