The shoes weren't what I expected, but they were nice nonetheless! The first time I wore them, they hurt the back of my top of my feet, but after that first time it did not. I think you have to wear thick ankle socks to stop it from hurting/get used to the pain. But it is fine now! They are an interesting pair of shoes and are unique! I received a couple of compliments.

My 14 year old son had to have these shoes. I feel that they are a little tighter in width than we expected, they don't seem to be very comfy for him, but he loves them anyway. They do look cool.
Also, kind of overpriced.
I love Zappos, though! Great service, fast shipping!

Pleased Mother -
My son asked for these shoes for Christmas. He does like them even though he said he is having to get used to them since they are high tops. I actually love them because he is not running around with his shoes untied and flopping around. I like the looks too.

Vans Sk8-Hi KISS shoes -
Just received my KISS version of this style. They just may be the most awesome-looking pair of shoes I have ever owned!! I've been wearing classic-style Vans (slip-ons mostly) since Jr. High and wanted something different... these caught my eye for sure, being a KISS fan. I docked a star for comfort as the high-top style is uncomfortable at first, at least with the shape of my leg/ankle. I'm sure it will improve with time.

Vans Sk8-Hi Black/Gunmetal Checkered -
I haven't had a pair of Vans hi-tops in over 20 years, so I wanted to try them again. Comfort is average, but I seem to recall that hi-top portion (the upper 3 inches) used to be considerably thicker. Even still, a good shoe at a good price and it’s a super-classic!

I have been wearing these shoes since I was 15. I like them a lot I just wish there was a little more cushion in them like other athletic shoes.

Purchased for a high school student. This is her second pair and she loves them. She normally has achy feet and these are very comfortable for her. She gets compliments daily on them.
I mean what can I say, Vans rule! I have been wearing these shoes since I was a kid and they just keep getting better. While they provide little in the support department they do make up for it with aesthetics. They are a perfect addition to any outfit that will never go out of style.

I grew up wearing Vans back in the 80s and recently purchased a pair after more than 20 years. I know now why I stopped wearing them, they are uncomfortable if you have wide feet. They look awesome and are made well, but based on comfort or lack there of, this will definitely be the last pair I buy. Zappos Rocks though!

This shoe is unbeatable. It is comfortable and very stylish. When you're ordering sizes it is about a half size larger than what you put so be careful and get the right size.

Not just for skate - If you can believe this...I play basketball in these shoes once or twice a week. Might be the best shoe I have ever worn for hoops.

Cutie in pink!
These Vans are the cutest ones around, with the pale pink and the skull its sends the pinnacle message of girl=don’t tread on me! Super well built, rugged, great colors, and great graffixs. I put a pair of barbed wire laces in them and went to work- if those monkeys loved them, so should anyone!

Funky kicks!
Vans "Off the Wall" continues to produce products that live up to its name. The black and white makeup of these shoes gives an optical illusion quality which transforms just another shoe to an eye-catcher!

These shoes rock!
I ordered one of the Iron Maiden styles and was extremely satisfied with the overall appearance of the shoe. The original pair I was sent had what looked like red permanent marker smeared on the side, but Zappos sent me another pair and no complaints. These are sturdier than similar high-tops I have tried and like I said before; the Iron Maiden styles rock!

VERY BIG DISAPPOINTMENT! They are very hard to get on, I almost broke my ankle trying. Looks way, way better online than in person.

Excellent shoe, good comfort, great looks and it's a high top; shoes seem to run a little large. I ordered a 9 where I usually wear a 10, I love these shoes. I highly recommend them.
