Great winter shoes, no more wet socks and they are also easy to lace up. They have a very high-quality finish and are extremely comfortable to wear.

I skate flat/curbs/flatbars. My foot is size 9, I weigh 70 kg and I am 180 cm tall. I usually prefer cupsole skateshoes but I ended up with the Vans Sk8-Hi's because of the protection over the ankle. This shoe is true to size, maybe a tad bigger than some of my 27 cm shoes. It is also not a narrow shoe like New Balances or Nikes. This shoe is great for skating, but in my opinion not the best shoe to walk on as I found some marginal heel lift even with so many laces. However these break in fast, the shoe is light for such a durable and even with a "fat" vulcanized outsole. I would prefer the pro version for skating every time. I think for my foot this shoe has not the optimal feel on the heel so I recommend that you try these at a shop if you haven't already.This ... MoreI skate flat/curbs/flatbars.

Even with the pop cush insole the feel is awesome. The Hi-top model needs some getting used to but is no dealbreaker for me as that was what I wanted. They have such a good view from above and over all. For this shoe I would have preferred it to have some topping in the heels to prevent heel lift, but that is all I can complain. It has some canvas for breathability in the middle which is nice for the summer.For me, this is a rather basic skate shoe with good durability on because of suede and a thick vulcanized outsole. I recommend these for you if you already like Vans skate shoes and want to go for something extra with the Hi's.

Would give a 1 star but I do love how they look. They are extremely tough to put on and hurt when wearing them. If you have a wide foot, I would probably stay away from these. Don't know if they are really worth the price nor time to break in.

My son likes his new shoes although they were a little uncomfortable on his first wear. Hopefully, they will break in or feel better next time.Reviews sweepstake
Love these hi-tops! They're stylish, really well made and very comfortable. I had a very similar style last year but these are better - the soles feel more cushioned so there is better support.
I,v been wearing Vans for 25 years or more now. I,m an old longboard surfer and skater and have always found Vans hard-wearing, comfy and reliable.The New features add quality to an already outstanding Skateboard Shoe.I will most likely always wear The Sk8 High as they are my favourite Vans design and would definitely recommend them.Well done Vans.
Aside from the great price and extremely fast shipping on Roller Snakes part, the quality and feel from these shoes are excellent.
I have nothing to say other than complete disappointment. His shoes are wonderful to look at and that is it. It appears the whole Van's line has been overhauled with cheap foot beds and any semblance of craftsmanship and comfort has been destroyed. The shoes are no longer functional. There hasn't been a good pair of shoes since the Kyle walkers, which might have been the most amazing shoes ever made. I'm so sorry to write this review as Vans is an icon. I pray someone top down pays attention. You're about to lose your base.
These are perfect. My husband had this style in all grey, and really loved this color combo. Ordered these online, they shipped quickly, and are great quality. Thanks!
i use these as my main skate show, they're super comfy, grip the board great, have great board feel and are super supporting of the ankle.however the laces are not at all durable and even though these are marketed as skate shoes and extra tough the laces already started fraying within a couple days, after less than a couple weeks of skating one of them is hanging on by a thread and is about to break.
