This is, oddly enough, my first pair of Vans. I wear a women’s 7.5-8, and ordered the men’s 6.5. They fit really well and have been super comfy from the get-go. Not to mention, I love the color (navy/celery) - the bright yellow makes me happy every time I look down.

Vans Rowley XLT Elite LS

I bought these shoes because the original XLT's were really awesome and trend setting lightweight skate shoes, aside from having my original XLT's wasted from almost everyday use/abuse. Correct me if I am wrong but it was really Rowley who started the 'lightweight' skate shoe with his shoes from Vans, along with former team rider Jim Greco (now with Supra). Rowley never did like the bulky tech shoes that were very, very popular in the 90's, that's why 99% of his shoes were slim and light, (with the exception of the Rowley [X] of which I also own). The first thing I noticed with these new XLT Elite's is there is no stitching on the soles to the upper (which makes the shoe more durable than just having them glued) everything else is kinda same to me in appearance, I just noticed that the heel part of the shoe does not grip that well, making my foot slip every time I walk, and I got the exact size for my feet, the original XLT's did not have this problem. Also the pinkies feel a bit of a pinch as well. I hope they don’t turn into blisters. I might get some Dr. Scholl’s to put on the collar of the shoe to prevent slipping, I might get some tomorrow. Also these are not that bulky compared to the originals, which has a bit of bulk.

Vans Half Cab Review - This shoe is pretty much the best shoe any shoe company has ever made. The upper rips kinda fast, but the out sole is very durable on the classics, much better than on the Half Cab Pros. I absolutely love this shoe… it’s the best shoe I've ever skated. You should buy a pair because you won’t be sorry.

I ordered these shoes a few months ago, and I quite like them. They’re unique, funky, and fun. I really love their lower profile as it looks great with skinny or straight leg jeans. They don’t give a lot of arch support, but some inserts easily fixed that problem for me.

If you liked the Vans Tony Alva shoes, then you will like these. The only difference is these have the original Vans soles. These were good shoes for my kind of skating, bowls, ramps, and vert.

Great looking shirt, typical good quality from Vans products. Just a reminder if you haven't ordered clothing from Vans before they are pretty streamlined with the fitting. If you are use to an XL being comfy/baggy you would need a XXL. As a rule their clothing is more tight-fitting. Looks as cool as the photo.

I really like these shoes. The colors are great. The only thing that bothers me a bit is the tongue and how it rubs against my foot as a walk and irritates a little bit. Other than that, they are quite comfy and fit nicely.

Awesome Looking and Very Durable but the toe strap is set back about one shoe size. I had to send back the first pair and get the next size larger. But there is one full shoe size in front of my toes?

I ordered what turned out to be the last white pair of Vans in my size last night at 6:30PM West Coast time and received them at 4:00 this afternoon...what a speedy delivery from Zappos!! (Sorry if you want them too, but I'm sure they'll be back in stock soon) I love the shoes. The color is a nice soft neutral, not glaring white. I have some paralysis in my legs and feet and wanted an easy slip on shoe to wear this summer that would stay on my feet and offer some support. They seem to fill the bill. Thanks Zappos!

The Vans I ordered arrived within 24 hours, the ordering process was incredibly easy and the shoes were perfect. If you’re a punk/hardcore fan with memories of the Bad Brains rocking for light in the 80s and 90s, you will love these shoes. They come in a box decorated like the self-titled album, a bag with the band’s name, and a couple of sets of laces, too. An awesome product with a lot of cool extras. These Vans rock.

Great looking and comfy! I just got these today and was pleasantly surprised - they are even cuter on than they looked online and are super comfortable. I got them to wear at a wedding reception to dance (the high heels will have to go at some point), but they also look great with jeans. Got them in silver, but may have to get the black, too!

These shoes are great. The velcro closure really simplifies things for me. I have been getting to work a little earlier now that I don't have to tie my shoes. They're easier to take off too.

Vans La Cripta Dos - Pretty good shoe. They look really sick. They're super comfy as well. They fit kind of loose, but not too loose. They have great board feel when skateboarding. They seem to be ripping kind of fast, though.

Reviewer:Shay V. from Los Angeles

Overall Rating:

I usually prefer shoes with more of a heel and more support so I was skeptical at first. I’ll tell you this; these are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned! They aren't too hot either - which I was concerned about since I have terrible athlete's foot. I wanted to get the black pair as well since I bought the red pair. They don't have them in my size so I ordered a similar item. I’m sure they will be as comfortable too! I love Zappos customer service and their detail towards their customers needs. Please don’t ever change!!

I ordered these shoes in a size 11 and they fit perfectly right out of the box, and my feet are slightly wide. They're very comfy and stylish, but as with all Vans (in my opinion), if you wear them for 8+ hours your feet will start to hurt because the arch support is only moderate.

Reviewer:Brad R from Whittier, California

Overall Rating:

Great shoes for freeline skates - I recently picked up a pair of Freeline skates and spent four days learning them while wearing a pair of Vans Sk8-Hi in size 11, which have always felt a bit like wearing clown shoes, mostly because I didn't know what size my feet were or how to find shoes that fit. I went shopping for skate shoes in the hopes to find something that didn't look ridiculous and fit well enough on my feet that I didn't feel like my feet would slide around inside them. I had no intention of buying another pair of Vans. Until I ended up at the Vans store and saw these on the shelf. (I even left, walked the whole mall looking at tons of shoes, and then came back.) I don't like the gold highlights, which is why I give them 4 stars for looks. Otherwise, these shoes look great, as my first pair of low-tops. The mix of brown leather and brown suede is well done and overall the shoe has a really comfortable, yet classy looking aesthetic to them. Definitely something I am proud to wear around, and they definitely look a bit sharper than the usual "plain jane" skate shoe. Size: My size ranges from a 9.5 to a 10, and I had to get these in a 10.5. I'd say they feel a little smaller than they should, for the size they are, but they fit great. Just keep this mind: this is a narrow and snug shoe. I have long skinny feet and these fit them nearly perfectly. The tongue is heavily padded, as well as the rest of the shoe, and they fit tight and secure while keeping your foot pretty comfortable. I haven't even broken them in yet and they are, out of the box, some of the most comfortable shoes I've put on. How do they hold up for skating? These stick to my Freelines like nothing else! Whereas my Sk8-His would occasionally lose grip or just make my feet feel kind of flimsy on the decks, these shoes stick like glue and feel totally solid. Their snug comfort pays off: there's no shimmy to my foot in the shoe. What I want to do with my feet is what my feet do, and I don't have to worry about the shoe getting in the way. The difference is really hard to convey, except to say: these shoes made Freelines easier for me to ride, and that is a great thing all on its own. Bottom line: these are attractive (I'm sure the ladies will like them) all-occasion shoes that are very comfortable to wear and are excellent for all sorts of rigorous activities. I'd feel comfortable riding anything in these. If anyone is worried about these being marketed for BMX, take it from me, they're brilliant for skate, too.

Great shoe. I love them. Very comfortable. Make sure to order a 1/2 larger. The shoes will run a bit small because of the thick tongue. I've worn size 10 on some of my other Vans, but had to get 10.5 with these. Looks great with shorts or baggy jeans.

Much more comfy than my Chucks! I was looking for a comfortable flat shoe to tool around in when I am not at work. These are awesome, much more cushion and support than the Chuck Taylors I used to wear. They took maybe 3 wears to break in the back heel, so it wasn't stiff, but after that, they are very comfy. I would highly recommend these shoes - they look cool, too.

A very cool shoe. I got these because, as a bike rider, I needed something to protect my ankles from my crank arms and low-top shoes just ain't cuttin' it. They do the job just fine and are a very comfortable shoe for riding or just hanging out. They look really awesome as well. I got the green/yellow ones.
