Awesome shoes!
I love these shoes! I have 2 pair and will be buying another pair soon. I have been rocking Vans for 25 yrs and will never get tired of 'em. These mids are my favorites, though. Could use a bit more arch support but, that’s nothing that an insole can’t fix. All in all a great shoe

Good looking...a little big for marked size -
In the past I’ve bought vans that felt a half size smaller than marked but these were big...the shoes are by far the most awesome looking shoe to exist...I got the black pewter.

Great Shoe -
I wanted these shoes because I currently have the AV Sk8 Lows, which I love, but have no ankle protection at all. So I decided to get these and was surprised when I got them in. These shoes are not constructed in the same way, but I think they are better. The toe box in these are much bigger than the Sk8 lows and that is good for me as the Lows pinched my pinky toes. It’s completely eliminated in these shoes. I had heel slip in the Lows, but in these its gone. The weight is comparable to the lows. Overall this is a great skate shoe and I would recommend them to anyone who needs a skate shoe with a little more ankle support and protection.

Granddaughter's Shoes -
I bought these shoes for a granddaughter to use when standing and the need to be steady. They seem to be comfortable and well made.

Not necessarily a 1/2 size big -
These shoes look way cool, so by looks alone, A+. Unlike other reviewers, I didn't find these shoes a 1/2 size big...I probably would've been happier in a 9, but ordered 8 1/2 per the suggestions here. Personally, I find the shoes run a bit narrow, so maybe that has something to do with it as well. The arch support is fine for me. If you normally wear orthopedic shoes, Vans ain't it.

9/22 -
The first day I wore the shoes, I noticed how uncomfortably tight they were around the top of the foot and how hard they were to get in. For some reason, the vans makers though they needed to sew an over-sized pieces of elastic from the tongue to the sides. After cutting the pieces off, my love for the shoe exceeded a tremendous amount but the heel still rubbed. They're great once you break them in. and excellent for skating as well.

Awesome Shoe -
I bought this shoe for my daughter; they have to have an all black shoe as part of their dress uniform. I bought it a week or so before school started, I used their regular ground shipping which was 4-5 business days. I was so surprised when I received an email later that day that my order had been upgraded. I was more surprised when the shoes were delivered the very next day. I would recommend this site to anyone who is looking for a great product, reasonable prices, and awesome customer service. Thanks Zappos!

Best skate/chill shoes ever -
I recently bought this beautiful shoe in Navy, it is absolutely the best shoe ever. I skate and I chill with these shoes and the comfortness of the mids are bomb. They cuff around the ankle so they feel like they won't fall off your feet, which is also really comfortable. Living in Cali, you gotta have these hella cool shoes. I go everywhere with these shoes now, whether its partying, skating, chillin’, and going to hardcore shows, these bomb ass shoes will stay on my feet for as long as possible. The only problem is that it's pretty difficult to put these shoes on so either loosen up the top laces or use a shoe horn. Other than that, go buy a pair. I may buy another pair in red. And another opinion, just stick with the original simple colors that makes it look so special.

Too wide -
I don't consider my feet narrow by any means, but these were way too wide for my feet. They felt slightly larger than a women's 9 also. The sole and footbed of these are insanely comfortable however.

Awesome shoes -
I have gotten soo many compliments on my blue Sk8-mid Vans! They are extremely comfortable and very stylish. Great for skating, as well. Mine are just as clean as they were when I bought them a month and a half ago. I would recommend wearing a band-aid on the heel the first two days you get them, though. As soon as you get used to wearing the shoe, it's extremely comfy.

Awesome!!!
These shoes are the best skate shoes I have ever had. I have had my Sk8-Mids for about a month and they’ve only smudged. The canvas from around the ankle ripped from my heelflips, but that’s only cuz its canvas. For my toe area, the rubber around it wore away and the upper suede on my toe area smudged also. Ggggrrrreeeeaaaatttt skate shoe!!!

Superb shoe -
First, I am a certified sneaker freak. Now, when I say I own a multitude of shoes, I mean MULTITUDE. Nike, adidas, Converse, Puma, Reebok, Airwalk, Asics and various other brands of shoes and boots. and to me, what makes a great shoe great comes down to this... if I had to make a decision under duress, say, in the event of an alien invasion, cataclysmic natural disaster, or zombie apocalypse, as to which pair of shoes to grab on my way out the door, that I knew I had to wear for a very long time. It would be a tough tough call between my brown adidas Campus ST's and these, red Sk8 mids... these shoes are amazing. They had an incredibly short break in time, and have been like wearing comfy socks from the get go. Love them, love them, love them. I actually have trouble taking them off when the day is done. Hope this is as positive and helpful a review as you can read. Highly recommended. Enjoy.

Disappointing -
I ordered these shoes because I love Vans, and I love this green. Unfortunately, the top of the shoe hits at a very uncomfortable part around the ankle, and I just felt that these weren't going to be comfortable, at all. I returned them. I really love the color and hope they make this color in the regular Old Skool. I have several pair of Old Skools and I find them to be the most comfortable and best fitting of the Vans.
