Customer Reviews Vans Old Skool

Too narrow for my wide feet! But nice shoes.

I thought they ran narrow, I had to return as I have a little bit of a wider foot.

have to return as arch support is poor.

I had to order a half a size larger than my normal and they fit very well. My only concern is that the half size bigger made the shoe wider for my narrow foot and it’s a bit uncomfortable across the top of my foot. Overall a comfortable shoe.

Great style. Unfortunately that’s it. No cushioning; minimal arch support; narrow toe box. Will try to stretch the toe box and put in arch support.

A good, sturdy shoe. I was used to something with thicker sides which would hold up while putting the shoe on. That didn't happen, but nonetheless I think I have a good shoe.

Did not fit comfortably.

I need a removable foot bed for orthotics so have ordered qa pair of New Balance

I like the way they looked but they were way to big

Horrible fit, and not for those who depend on arch support of any kind. It’s a shame because they’re cute shoes!

Love the look and skate durability of Vans but kids have growing, wide, adult-like feet. But they only carry them is medium width.

Stylish shoe but not rough for wear. Soles are thin and no arch support. Not good shoe for the active.

Narrow in the toe area and hard to get ankles in. Gets dirty very easily, moderately easy to clean, except for mud stains. Be careful bleaching these shoes. Best bet is to waterproof them right out of the box.

I have a very wide foot [i wear a 7W in Clarks] and was looking forward to this fitting since it is a men's shoe, and they tend to be cut a little wider. Something about this just did not fit my foot correctly. The men's 5.5 was definitely too narrow in the toe box, but I had extra fabric around the sides closer to my heel. They looked super cute, so I'm sad they didn't fit well. The construction looked a bit cheaper up close than I was expecting. Not quite right for me.

Too small by about half a size to a full size - gave them to my daughter.

ive been wearing this shoes for almost ten years. i cant even count how many pairs ive had. i like the way they look, but the quality came way down around 5 years ago, when the stitching on the side of the shoe changed. before the side stitch below the stripe was swoopy and didnt come to a point. (like the pro model is swoopy) when that happened, the shoe became way narrower and the overall quallity of the shoe and insole changed. they dont last as long as they used to. so i started wearing the pro model, which lasts about 15 times longer.. pro model is wider, but heal fitment is super sloppy on them and are overall a lot more clunky than these and look way bigger on your feet... if you dont care about a clunkier shoe, if your interest is mainly about having a long lasting shoe. the pro model version is way better for an extra 6 bucks. if you like snug fitment and a lighter weight shoe, this version is better

Was looking for a white sneaker that was cool. When I received the shoe it looked too "orthotic", not what I was looking for.

I wanted to like these shoes because I liked the style, but I had to return them because they were very stiff and dug at my heel. I knew if I tried wearing them they would hurt and might cause blisters.

I think I may need to size up in these , they felt a little small , maybe I just haven’t broken them in but its still a little uncomfortable right now.

These seem well made, with comfortable padding. However, the toe box is not tall enough; it presses down a bit on my big toe. The ankle opening is quite narrow, and I couldn’t pull the laces tight enough for the sides to meet the tongue. Both these reasons make them unwearable with socks in colder weather. Unfortunately, because they’re very cute, these are going back.

the ankle was too small for me, love the look though

The size and fit are pretty much as described. They are a bit longer than I would've expected, but not by much. I love the way these look, but the comfort of these shoes are little on the weak side. I bought these because I loved the Vans I had back when I was younger. The soles on these feel very flat and way less comfortable than when I had Vans in the past. The heel also felt way thinner and feels like it has almost no padding. The sides of the shoes are quite thin and just not as soft as I remember. I love the way these shoes look and fit, but I'm just not satisfied with how they feel. I wouldn't purchase again, but I don't hate these enough to return them.

The size was right, but I got horrible blisters on my heels and pinky toes

Love how they look, but the collar around the ankle rubs my heel. It’s been a long time since I’ve worn classic Vans, and 3 hours into my first day wearing this new pair I realized that ankle collar was the same complaint I had about my old ones.
