Customer Reviews Vans Old Skool

I like these shoes a lot, the back is a bit stiff initially so prepare for some rubbed and sore Achilles Tendons the first few wears.

Wanted something retro to wear with jeans. Ordered these Vans and Chucks. Wife made me return the Chucks because she said they were ugly and everybody else wears them. These Vans are a great classic shoe and look great. FYI for 1st time buyers, they have zero arch support, they will also hurt your Achilles tendon for about a week

I love how these shoes look! They are very comfortable except for the tab at the top of the heel that comes up a little high and has therefore rubbed a blister. But I am hoping they will soften up a bit as I wear them.

I really like these shoes, this is my third pair. The comfort - is maybe average at best (they're skate shoes, they're flat, no support). They last a reasonably long time - I'd say average on wear and tear. But above average on cool!

Great shoe, very comfortable. Takes a little while to break in and the leather around the heel might be tough at first but once the shoes are worn then you'll be very satisfied.

I like this shoe a lot. Haven't had them long and have received several compliments; they get noticed! I find then very comfortable for this type shoe, but they feel better to me if I wear thin socks. Own 3 pair of Vans and love them all.

I'm a 6' 5" male in my 20s who has difficulty finding kick around shoes in a size 15! These are exactly as described, old school!

These kicks are awesome. Just how I remembered them. Love Zappos' VIP service. They always deliver.

Shoes were great besides back. The back of the shoe curves into the back of your ankle and cuts it although after a few days of wearing the shoes you won't feel it any more.

This shoe is something you should purchase. They are comfortable, durable, and stylish. I've bought a pair two years ago and wore them on an everyday bases to school and I still wear them. They are still in a nice condition. I recently bought three more pairs in different colors to take to college with me and know I won't need to buy another pair of Vans in an immense amount of time.

Painful to break in and got scarred at my Achilles' heel on one foot. Otherwise, it is now a comfortable sneaker and I love how they look! I have wide feet and I didn't have trouble with the width of the shoe. True to size.

Purchased a black pair. Looks exactly how it does in the picture. No complaints other than it is not true to size. In comparison to my other pair of Vans (which are all size 7.5), this pair is very small. My old Vans appear to be huge sitting next to these. But I have a feeling they will break in over time.

They're beautiful, but the line of material around the outside above the sole is already starting to crack and wear after about a month. Love the shoes & they look great, but you'll be replacing them after 6 months.

Obviously, this is the classic skate shoe. However, this shoe is as basic as they come, very little support, very little cushion. More style than function.

Old Skool cool! These sneaks look great with jeans or shorts. Great for walkin' around town or just hangin' by the beach. Love 'em!

I've always liked classic Vans. Some of the materials are on the cheap side. The faux leather inner padded collar feels like plastic. Though the soles are good, solid, and feel like they will put up with abuse. Overall pretty happy.

Been a fan of these shoes for as long as I can remember. Love the style of them and they never seem to get old to me. Whenever one pair wears out, I always have to get a new pair.

First time buyer, they are comfortable wide enough for my big size 15 feet.

Love these shoes. Classic skater/surfer look. Construction feels solid and durable. If you want more comfort over style, I would recommend Van's Chukka low, they have a padded tongue and still look sick.

These remind me of a baseball and go really well with jeans for a ballpark visit. But you definitely need to add some cushioning to these, as they are bare bones on the inside. For a "skate shoe", that was a bit surprising, but it's an old style that I could never wear as a kid, and it's low profile and Vans attitude made it a required buy. With the additional cushion insole I bought, it's a comfy wear.

I wouldn't buy this shoe unless you're a skater. It feels floppy and it makes a terrible floppy noise coming from the sides when I walk.
