Customer Reviews Vans Old Skool

Super cool at size 15 and age 43! My husband never had Vans growing up and I thought well, let's try a pair... better late than never! He thought with his size 15 shoe that he'd look like Bozo the clown. Not at all! They look so fabulous on him and are very comfy. I told him I was going to buy him the pink & black checkered ones... he wasn't digging that idea, but really digs these!

Can't go wrong with a Classic - These Vans have been around for awhile for a reason. They are simple, comfortable, affordable, and stylish. My only minor complaint is that they are a tad bit "stiff" when brand new and can be a little uncomfortable when walking extensively at first. I have had many pairs of these and I will continue to buy them.

Great shoes - Really nice shoes. Look sharp. I ordered the same size of Vans that I had before and these feel slighter larger, but not a problem.

Kick it - These shoes are by far some of the best feeling shoes I own (not that I have a bunch). They have pretty good support and the heel cup fits rather well for a low cut sneaker. I have zero heel-slip and a desired amount of lateral movement in the shoe to accommodate my foot. As a retailer that sells shoes, I think these pass the test.

Takes a while to break these in, but worth the time - I love these shoes. I had a pair many years ago, and I don't know why it took me so long to reacquire another pair. The only thing is that it's taking a little while to break them in. I haven't gotten any blisters, but they've been a tad stiff for sneakers.

Great Looking shoe - I bought this shoe for my 35 yr-old boyfriend. He loves 'em. And, they look great on! He used to wear the classic/old school Converse, but his last pair of the Converse fell apart in less than 30 days! I myself adore Vans women's skate shoes (best fit/best looks), so my preference may have guided him... Sometimes he wears a 9.5, sometimes a 10, so in a store he tried on the 9.5, but too small. So, I got him the 10's and they fit perfect. He even has a somewhat wide foot, but he says they fit 'perfect'.

FANTASTIC!! I bought these shoes for my 15 y/o son who has been wanting these for some time. I cannot tell you how happy he is with these shoes. They are comfortable and he loves to wear them. Zappos' overnight shipping is unbeatable. I ordered them on line on Christmas Eve and expected that they wouldn't fill the order until the day after Christmas then get them a day after that but to my surprise the morning after Christmas they showed up at my door!! Zappos is wonderful!! Would definitely buy again!

Great classic - This is the 3rd Old Skool pair I've bought for my son. He really likes them and the fit is perfect. I got this one with the suede toe because the canvas toes were wearing through. This is the best one!

great shoe - Wow! Zappos is Amazing! This is the first thing Ive ordered from Zappos, and I have nothing but good things to say. Ordered this shoe on a Thursday night and got it on Friday afternoon. Looks great and fits great. I wear a size 15. Its very comfortable and feels great right out of the box (for me at least). Looks good with pants and shorts. Highly Recommend.

No surprises. Good Shoe. The Vans Old Skool shoe is well-made and designed for skateboarding perils. It is not an ideal running shoe or even a great walking shoe as expected. It is somewhat stiff though comfortably cushioned. The quality of the make is apparent in the detail inside and out. This is not a shoe that will fall apart after a few weeks of daily use. Overall a good buy.

Great shoe at a great price! I was looking for a replacement for the Old Skool shoes I bought more than ten years ago. What I found was, while the shoe still looked pretty much the same as my old shoes, the material appears to have improved! I'm hoping these shoes will last me as long as the last pair did.

Granddaughter's Vans - There are no stores in our area that carry a good selection of Vans. My granddaughter wears size 11 women's. I hesitated ordering online, but the return policy for Zappos made me try. As always, Zappos came through. My granddaughter is very happy with her “California Skatin'” shoes in East Tennessee.

Gotta love 'em - These are still some of the best shoes around. Takes me a couple weeks to break them in to where I like them, but after that they're perfect.

Good work and cruise shoe - Got these for work. They are low and light; good for walking the ceiling joists. Fit really well; look good and very comfortable. Well worth the cost. Get a pair and see for yourself.

This shoe is one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever bought. Not to mention that they are cute and go with everything. Only thing I have to say other than that they look good is that they stain easily. Otherwise they are an overall good product.

Classic comfy shoe - Theses are exactly what they appear to be, the old school Vans we had as kids. Very meaty soles and good padding inside. I have high arches and these are okay even though they don't have much support there.

Like I remember them... I bought these shoes to replace my Northwave Chilis, that I can't find anywhere, so his was my first pair of Vans since '84. I still have my Ray "Bones" Rodriguez deck though. Over all they fit well. A little snug near the widest part of my foot when wearing thick cotton socks, but perfect when wearing a normal thickness sock. Better arch support than Chuck Taylor's, but obviously not like a running shoe. A great shoe for walking my dog, or chasing my son. Since they are a low top shoe and I am almost 40, I would not wear them for dirt jumping, or down hill riding. I can't stand bashing my ankles, so you'd have to wear ankle biters or a high top.

Get a pair of Vans! These shoes are great!!! They fit just like I remember... but whatever you wear in the Slip-Ons, order a half size larger because they have laces. I heart you Zappos & so do my feet!

Very Cool and Comfortable - I am 33 years old. I have been wearing Vans since I was in the 7th grade! These shoes are awesome. They are very comfortable and go great with jeans. By design, it’s a naturally wide shoe, so most people may want to take a size down. I purchased a size 9.5, but I could have purchased a 9 and been okay. You can wear them all day and your feet shouldn't feel tired. The styles are fun. ZAPPOS IS AWESOME!

Nice product!!! Just copped me a pair of the black on blacks... my opinion is best style of Vans. Made way better then the Slip-Ons... next best thing if you don’t have enough dough for Air Forces or Js... 5/5.

Good shoe - It’s a very nice shoe for skateboarding and everyday use. They’re comfortable for me since I’ve been wearing Vans for 5 years.

Good shoe. Don’t listen to the haters. And you could have it tomorrow if you order it so it's all worth it.

Old Skool Rocks! This is the second pair of Old Skool Core Classics I've owned (in addition to the dozens of pairs of Vans I wore growing up) and I never get tired of them. They have a great look, feel to them and they look good with shorts or long pants. I always get compliments on their retro cool style. You can't go wrong with Vans!

Great Vans! What can I say? Old school Vans. Fit very well. Not very much cushion to the sole, but that's how they've always been. Get 'em!

Fail safe style... What can you say about these except that they rock - If someone said there was only one style of shoe I could wear for the rest of my life I'd gladly choose these. Fail safe style - they look great with everything. One thing though - buy 'em half a size bigger than you normally wear as they run a bit small compared to other shoes.
