Customers love these Vans Old Skool shoes for their wide fit that provides perfect room for feet, and find them comfortable and versatile enough to wear all day with anything. They appreciate the style, with one customer noting they look exactly like regular Old Skool Vans. The arch support receives mixed feedback - while some find it stable and good for balance, others mention lack of arch support. Durability is also mixed, with some saying they hold up well while others report issues with the front bumpy part of the sole coming apart.

My son had a pair of these in a size 13 regular, but he complained that they hurt his feet, so he never wore them. He really liked them though so I decided to try again. He has wide feet so I was thinking 14 wide, but they didn't have wide, so I ordered a regular 14 and they were too long and too narrow. So I decided to go back down and try a 13 wide and they were too tight. They didn't look wide at all and when we measured them against his 13 regular pair, they were almost identical. The heel of the 13 wide was about 1mm wider than the regular, but the rest of the shoe was the same, so I'm not sure how they classify these as a wide width.

I'm a senior citizen and beginner weight lifter. I need balance deadlifting. I read about Vans on power lifting websites. I bought some for the gym. First I removed the glued down insoles, not too hard to do. Put in my prescription, custom orthotics. These Vans have flat bottoms and they stick to the floor. Perfectly level and stable. So glad Vans makes a wide shoe. I tested these out during deadlifts and I am very satisfied with them. For my purposes these shoes are outstanding. They have 9 eyelets and wide cotton laces so I can tighten them exactly the way I want. This is my first pair of Vans. POSITIVES: Excellent weight lifting shoes especially dead lifts and leg presses. They grip the floor. They look good. 9 pair of eyelets. Reasonably priced.

Great shoe - very happy to find this Vans Old Skool shoe in wide width! I normally wear a 10.5, but found this shoe fits me much better at 11.

I have wide feet and that usually means wearing shoes that look like you get them with a prescription or that you borrow from your grandpa. These aren't those. Better yet, the Wide is actually wide (not so for every shoe brand). The shoes are not super-padded which means that they're trimmer than the aforementioned grandpa shoes but also means I wouldn't wear them if I had to be on my feet for any amount of time. The only con for me is that the insoles aren't (easily) removable. I need better arch support. I had to tear out the existing insoles and order a second pair (half size bigger) to get something that I could put insoles into. If think all wide shoes should have removable insoles. Wide feet usually means weird feet.
