Vans Old Skool® SKU #7166039(View on Zappos.com Classic)

Love them - I wore a pair of Vans Rowleys for about 5 years, finally had to buy new, and bought these. They took about 2-3 days to break in the heel and sole, but now I like them even better than my last shoe--they are extremely comfortable and they look cool.

The coolest ever! The peace signs on the sides are way cool. Very comfortable after a few days, like all Vans. These are great for work or going out. Great quality for the price.

Vans Old Skool™- What can I say about these shoes or for Vans for that matter... Hmmm!... Well, let me first point out that these (Vans) are not my 1st, 2nd or even the 10th pair of Vans I've ever owned. I'm 35 and over the last almost 3 decades now I could honestly say that I've probably owned between 2-3 hundred, somewhere in there. Now that may seem like a lot, but you have to understand that there's so many different kinds of Vans that they've made over the years. For example, in my closet right now, I've got at minimum 8-10 pairs of different colored checkered Vans Slip-Ons, and that's just Slip-Ons. We haven't even gotten to talking about the Old Skool Hi's that I have many of as well. You never know when the right set of Vans will match exactly with what you’re wearing and that's not only why I continue to buy them, but because they are perfect in style, comfort and overall appeal. I'm constantly given compliments on my Vans from time to time. I've even found some pairs of Vans not on here that are either discontinued or came out in limited quantities. People love these shoes and you will too... Trust me...

The old BMX days - Amazing shoes. I generally rock higher end sneakers like Common Projects but the quality of these is just great. Used to BMX with these many years ago. They will probably last forever. I do have to add insoles though no, arch support. Great shoe.

I really liked the look of the shoe. It’s a very basic shoe that you can wear with anything. My problem is that they are a bit too narrow for me and hurt my feet. I have wide feet and have had better luck with Pumas. The thing I didn't count on was that I didn't figure out I couldn’t wear the shoes until I walked a little bit. Since my apartment is small, I didn't really have any room to walk in them inside. So, since I wore them outside, I couldn't return them. I sold them to a friend and lost money on the deal. Made me wonder about buying shoes online.

Can't beat a classic - I was looking to replace a different set of Vans (eventually wore them out) when I came across this blast-from-the-past. They are great shoes from a tactile point-of-view, as you are not so cushioned as to not feel any of the ground you walk on. There is no significant arch support, so take note. These are "old school" shoes, and need to be "broken in" a bit to become supple, but once they do, they are like gum-soled slippers!

I bought these shoes for my son. He is very picky. He has wide feet, and these shoes are great. He loves them. He’s 14 and hates everything but these shoes. Will buy these again.

Fun and comfy, takes some breaking in - I love fun shoes. I get so many compliments when I wear these. They are great. They are leather and somewhat stiff at first, so I did have to break them in, but now they are really comfortable.

Great shoes - Just a great shoe. I have two pair of the Old Skool Vans; one pair for skating and the other pair for taking my wife on dates. She has complimented the Espresso colored Vans (date shoe) on several occasions. Young kids even comment when I'm skating at the park. My own kids love Vans so they all have them, too. California family living in Texas... what can you do but go to Zappos to get the shoes they love! Thank you Zappos for providing the best customer service and making the cool shoes available to me, my wife and kids!

Best shoes ever! I used to buy these in high school back in 86'. I loved them then and still love them. My son who just now has been introduced to them also loves them. As long as they are available we will continue to purchase them. Thanks Zappos.
