The tongue part of one of the shoes is very uncomfortable. I have readjusted it multiple times! It feels painful to walk in them. Too late to refund them. They never got back to me when I emailed them.

I bought these and thought they felt stiff, but all new shoes do. These WRECKED my ankles, I had to wear bandages and flip flops for over a month. Tried giving them another try six months later in short bursts and no matter what socks I wear, including vans official socks, they all get sucked into this shoe. I've bought other versions of vans sneakers, and these are unwearable and so painful. I wish I could get my money back

Bring back the TRUE WHITE and black checkerboard shoes. These are beige. Definitely not white.

I wear an 8 in every shoe from Jordan's to Converse. This was the smallest 8! My daughter wears a 7 and could barely fit it. Smh

I've had a couple pairs of Old Skools before, but the fabric on the front of this pair started breaking less than a week after I bought them, which I'm super bummed about, especially since I've never had this problem with any of my previous pairs. I've tried repairing them with super glue and sewing the fabric back on, but nothing works. :(

After only 3 months of wearing, the shoes are completely falling apart and have developed an awful smell for some reason.

I've had these shoes for two days, used them for only one and the trim is already falling off of the left shoe. Definite downgrade from previous quality.

I purchased this shoe online but what I got in the mail was not at all what I ordered. Couldn't even get it replaced because no store in 100 miles had the size I needed and online was sold out so I had to get the authentic style and not the old skool style I wanted.

I've worn these shoes about four times and the sole is already separating from the suede on the left shoe. Seems like it was put together on the cheap.

Have had these shows for maybe a couple months and haven't even skated in them and the sole is already separating from the rest of the shoe. Vans has really gone downhill

My shoes came in with black marks all over them. It seems they were worn and then returned. I have to return them.

I love the way this shoe looks, but it's the first pair of Vans in my entire life that has made me want to be able to return them every time I put them on. The back of my feet end up in a bloody mess. I keep trying to convince myself that I have to break them in but it just doesn't happen. I wish I could take them back but I've had them for a couple of months already despite not being able to wear them.

The colors of this shoe are really pretty and they seem true to size, but they are hard and stiff. I would never buy them again.

I hate to give these one star because I love them but they ripped!!! I've only had them for about a month and the canvas on the top of the shoe ripped near the toe...not on a seam.

Got this shoes as a gift to replace a previous pair of the same model that had the same hole on the toe. In a store they said it was normal.

I was sent a purple pair of Vans not black. Purple isn't even one of the options for this sneaker on the web site! Come on Zappos!

Disappointed there is no longer a real leather version of the white Old Skool. I went to a physical store to ask and sure enough they are synthetic.

Just a couple years ago I bought the all white, ALL LEATHER old skool shoes. My absolute FAV. But when I ordered another pair last year it wasn't until I received them I noticed the tongue is now canvas. WHO MAKES A LEATHER SHOE WITH A CANVAS TONGUE I ASK?! It will never be as clean as the rest of the shoe so unfortunately these are a hard NO for me. Please vans, bring back the all leather!!
