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!!

It pains me to say this because I had such high hopes for these shoes - but they are terrible for me! I have a pair of slip on Vans and loved them so much that I ordered these too. I ordered the same size, so I tossed out the box/packaging without thought. I wore these the next day and got giant blisters on the back of my heel. I've tried to wear them again since hoping they just need to be broken in but my heels are not having it. I'm not sure if it's the leather or what specifically made these so awful on me, but I would not recommend

My shoes came in stained from the front part of the shoe. Didn't realize I didn't have any purchase information to return or exchange.

My foot hurt all around. From the front of my toes to the back of my foot. It left a wound on my back even with thick socks. Horrible shoes, buyer beware.

Good looking shoes but they are not true white. Soles have a pink tint and the canvas looks a bit blueish. Right out of the box. Wish they were actually white.
