Soo im a vans girl always have been always will be since high school! I loved wearing 2 different ones idk!? Lol ive had lot but had the pink ones 1st in the stackform style and love them so much i got the black pair and old school suede ones! They are very comfortable and i did notice slipping in the back of my foot on the black ones which made no sense since their the same and then i seen the string wasnt through the last holes for support! They worked much better but i.have to wear thick socks also! And the suede ones are slightly wider i can tell cause i messed up my pinky toe about 2 weeks ago runningin the wrong shoes and it hasnt fully healed so the narrower one caused irritationand the old school ones did not!

There is nothing to not love about Vans. I was 20 when I got my first pair and never looked back since. When I need to buy something new - or I just want a new pair of shoes - the first brand I check is Vans. They always keep up to the standard and I never have to worry I dont get what I payed for, they are especially comfortalbe with the ComfyCush soles. I also love their constantly growing clothings as well, they are just the best quality.

*These shoes have been worn many times and yes, I need new ones. So Vans are some of my favorite shoes for many reasons… 1) They are super comfortable and last a good while. 2) So many cute options to choose from. There is a shoe for every person and style. 3) Dependable and reliable. 4) A brand that has stood the test of time. Those are just a few reasons. I have had many pairs besides the 2 pairs in the photo attached to my review. I will continue to buy shoes from this brand and would definitely recommend. They also have really awesome clothes and accessories!

Vans are my GO TO! I absolutely LOVE them! The level of comfort I get from wesring these is unmatched. I have so many pairs, but my all time favourite has to be the slip ons. I have worn those Slip on down so bad that it has worn out in such bad condition now but it doesn’t stop me from wearing them. They are so versatile you could pair them with everything. I also love the beige platform vans. They’re stunning super comfortable.
I absolutely love my Vans. At the time of writing, I think I have about 14 pairs. I bought my first pair in 2020 and they are still like the day I got them. They're sturdy, well built, and easy to clean. Vans clothing is also amazing. Most of my wardrobe consists of Vans t-shirts, coats, hoodies, belts, etc They keep their shape when washed and the colours don't bleed at all. The staff in physical Vans shops go above and beyond to help and offer their assistance as quickly as they can! Amazing quality in every product from Vans; absolutely will keep buying until I run out of space in my house.
Vans has super cute toddler shoes!! My son has ones with blue flames, sharks, space! They fit him great and some are slip on some are Velcro! They definitely get their use out of them and hold up good!! So yes, very durable!! So many styles to choose from for adults and kids, I remember wearing vans all time! Now that I am older I tend to get shoes with more support. But for my son they are super cute and fun!!
These are cool they fit my orthotics without taking the insole out.Cause they're white, I buy a new pair of the exact same every other year.They don't seem to fall apart too quickly.They do have that thing where if you wash them they wick a yellowish pigment out of the glues or whatever, as they dry, so that's a bit annoying but it's not too bad they still look pretty good after a proper scrub.Also I use elastic as laces and surprisingly it still works even with the high top.You just need to play around to get the right tightness.
Unfortunately after 8 months of regular use the stitching and rubber rand came apart. And a hole developed on the side. My old Dog Town Vans lasted 15 years of casual use. They're still great looking high tops, but not built to last. The material is weaker and the thread is garbage. The glue is obviously inferior to the old stuff as well. Durability is the issue. I bought another pair because I like the look, but I know now they're just for show rather than performance. Cheers
The fact that it's wide is genuinely the only selling point I can see for it. It's good enough and I got it only because it was 29 euros, if it was any more I don't think I would have gotten it especially since it's canvas so it's gonna get real dirty. Very grippy though and pretty breathable. I reccommend it when it's on sale, definitely not worth full price point
i got these to replace my old Sk8-Hi Pro BMX (which were great btw)These new shoes have a sole thats hard as rocks. no cushioning at all, very uncomfortable on the soles on my feet.Im not sure if vans thinks that that low level of comfort is acceptable . very low quality shoesI should've just got another pair of Sk8-Hi Pro BMXDisappointed.
