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!

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!!

ASOS is trash, plain and simple. If you are looking for a simple, honest review of this dumpster fire of a company, here it is. First of all, no human contact if (rather, when) you have an issue. Walk away right now, you will simply never speak to a human. Perhaps a chat bot, but definitely not an empathetic human being. Oh, what's that? You just want to quietly shop and have no interaction with the company or its affiliates? You already know your size, in your brand? Good luck to you, fine shopper. The single most egregious thing ASOS does is sell things that don't exist. My very first time ordering, they messed it up. Two pairs, out of three, were wrong. And honestly, that's totally okay, if they would have fixed it. I know my size, in my brand, yet they still ... MoreASOS is trash, plain and simple.

And honestly, that's totally okay, if they would have fixed it. I know my size, in my brand, yet they still sent me shoes that were, read, THREE sizes too small. This was not an EU to US sizing problem, they straight up sent me a useless pair of really tiny shoes. They would have made excellent paperweights, to be fair. ASOS does not offer an exchange of any kind. You must rebuy. Okay, ASOS, that is fine by me. But, what if the item you want to rebuy isn't on sale anymore? Oh, dear shopper, that is what they want. My second time ordering, guess what they did to fix it? They (finally) gave me 25 percent off my next purchase, after fighting a robot for several minutes about the fact that the initial apology offer they proposed (15 percent) was less than the promo deal (20 percent) they had on the site for anyone to use at anytime, so I rebought the shoes they messed up. If you're still reading, you can guess what happened. They did it again! Three sizes too small. Guess how many emails I have received in reference to this? Zero. Now, you may be thinking, "okay, they messed up, twice, but it's okay! Chill, friend, there are bigger fires in the world." And, you are right. But, they refuse to speak with me. No other company I have interacted with on any level does that. It's slimy behaviour. Also, another pair of shoes I ordered, white trainers, which they DID get the size right, showed up dirty at my house in the box. Really dirty. Do you think I complained? Nope. Not after who they showed themselves to be. ASOS doesn't care. And neither should you. If you can find a cool pair of shoes on their site that fit you, go ahead, roll the dice and order them. But know this, they may not be the thing you ordered, and you may have to spend a half hour chatting with a bot, and then some more time packing it back up, printing your return label, and dropping it off. Ultimately, I am impressed with their selection, but completely grossed out by the complete lack of customer service, and more importantly, lack of actual product. Do not waste your time.

I came in to buy a classic style I purchased forever ago that lasted me at least 4 yrs. I was in love, but I ended up losing them in a move, and was in need of some new kicks anyhow.I saw these bad boys on the website here, and I just could NOT say no.Didn't read a single review, just ran to the store right away cause I can't wait for shipping-too impatient for it lolAlthough I wear these more than the other pair I bought that day, I DID NOT THINK THEY WOULD TAKE 5MINS TO GET ON & OFF.... every. single. time!!!!I AM SO GLAD I SEEN ANOTHER COMENT SAYING THE SAME THING & I'M NOT ALONE ON THAT!The strap on the back of one of the shoes has already torn half off from me trying to get them on quickly within the first week of wearing them🫠 insane..Like, when I'm ...

Already bought 2 extra pairs of laces since i bought these 😞 oddly enough the bottom are cleaner than the sidesI wouldn't buy them again, as I think they would last me a long time but mostly because of the issue of them taking so long to get on and off. I seen some elastic shoelaces that you could easily clean in the dishwasher or with a sponge in the sink and I think I might invest in those in the shoe cleaning kit, as I really do love these shoes I just hate that they get dirty so quickly around the bottom edges, bottom line I think they were worth it.
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.
These high tops are about exactly the same as I wore in the late 80's. Because ther not the new 'skate' line. It is confusing cas these also are called skate but ther the old style without any pop Cush insoles wich those are good but these don't come with that or two pair of laces. Ther straight vans. I believe the new 'skate' line has skate and or Sk8 both in the name and for whatever reason ther extremely hard and like everywhere. The side walls the soles the front outsides. When I tried those on I was rely bummed. I'm used to vans being skatable OOTB=out of the box. Wich these are. I was skating 'Pro Cabs' for a while. Great shoe then I saw all the old shoes go to the 'skate' name when they've been skate. Then they changed the cabs from a pro cab to a skate cab. ...

Great shoe then I saw all the old shoes go to the 'skate' name when they've been skate. Then they changed the cabs from a pro cab to a skate cab. And ther super hard to. It's a bummer for me and I believe vans doesn't need that Thers plenty of brands with hard materials that feel kind of just hard all over and I could never skate them. Since airwalks came out in the 80's everyone was trying them and I did and took them off right away. Just now I have to search then check the pictures and look if there a pop Cush insole cas if ther is ther most likely the skate line and gona be hard. May be good for many I just can't skate them. These are cheaper to all shoes have gone up with inflation and vans new family program is pretty good earn credit for each purchase and it ads up qwik. Ther service is still great and ther shipping still super fast. I just would like them if ther gona make what they did in the 80's to like bigger harder shoes at least keep the original shoes in the line up. I bought the new Rowan and it's completely a different feel. And looks more like the sport skate shoes then it used to. It was a rad traditional van now it's a bit sport harder and priced much higher. Wich is cool it just would be nice if they wer clear and kept the traditional style vans the same and make the new ones they seem to want to try every ten years or so.
For as long as I can remember, I have always worn Vans sneakers. I started off with the low tops, however, over the past few years I have gotten into the Sk8-Hi products. I now own about 10 pairs. They are always so comfortable and are perfect for both winter and summer weather. I have never had an issue with rubbing on my ankles or even them not fitting. These are great shoes that I would recommend to anyone! So comfy too!
You can just about make out on the photos that for some reason where the lace eyelets are, instead of joining or folding the material here, it's been cut flat instead, so there are two white stripes running down either side where they lace up. It looks ridiculous, I've no idea why Vans are doing this, as I've checked the same trainers on other sites and they all have this flaw. Ruins a good pair of black trainers, they're like bright white go faster stripes! Returned.
