Design wise, shoes are beautiful. Not too bulky like the old school skate shoes, and not too skinny like the new ones. Fitment is a bit of a hit and miss, very comfortable overall but its a bit tight by the toe box. It could also be because its still fairly new but time will tell. For now, im quite happy with the shoes and specially with the price. 😁🤙

On my feet for 9 hrs a day and I have never had anything so comfy. Room for my toes to breathe. So far no soggy feet in the rain. Cannot recommend them enough. And they're vans so I still get to be a style guru 😆

Amazing trainers! Had to go one size up. So supportive, so comfortable. I've been wearing skate trainers for nearly 40 years. Soles always let me down with Many brands, these are literally amazing. Ordered another pair too, now thinking of ordering a third pair.

I love the Rowley. My only complaint with these was the colour - Vintage Ink - it was too hard to tell whether they were midnight blue or black, and I didn't like the high contrast with the white.This style slipped on my heels a bit. That could have been a one-off. On this occasion I didn't keep them but it won't stop me from buying Rowley in the future if the colour and fit are right.
Love the old school skate shoes and these are perfect. They are super comfy but the top back bit takes a few wears to get soft and comfortable. Great support and they look awesome. I had to size up by 1/2 a size so they may run slightly small but I've never bought Vans before.
These might just be the most comfortable trainers I've ever bought. They're so padded and I haven't had any issues with them giving me blisters. They look amazing with any outfit, I've had many compliments on them too! I got my usual size and they fit perfectly, I'd highly recommend
These shoes are great. I've been waiting for the Navy blue for months.I wear a size 13. Only problem is they run a little small in the toe box. I have the black/gray Rowley XLT that previously came out and the toe box fits, but not on the current shoe.
Great fit and style. I tend to prefer these in 10.5 whereas most of my shoes are fine at 10.0. Absolute all time fave and, with exception to how long this wait was, I could not be more pleased with the navy release. Knockout throwback to a very deserving shoe from one of the GOATs of skating.
