Customer Reviews Vans Old Skool

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.

Shoes arrived about 10 days after order (it was the holidays) unfortunately way to narrow for me

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.

Cut my ankles bad.

Ordered and paid for a shoe that was in stock online. Still have not received them! That been 1 month ago! Tracking history shows they still haven't shipped??? Have email conversations with three separate customer service reps and no one knows what the problem is or why they haven't been shipped or if they even have the shoe??? Not sure if the shoe is now unavailable or if there is a problem with shipping, but Would Not recommend ordering online. Drive however far to a store or buy from Amazon if you want a pair of vans.

I can not find my order number to trace this transaction. I'm hoping this package is on the way!

Tear in the toe area (suede part of the shoe) within the second use

Horrible

I bought the classic tumble. Wore these three times both that didn't require super long distance walking and they gave horrible blisters on the back of my foot. Not sure if I can even wear these anymore. Huge disappointment.

No

The glue on the soles come apart, poorly manufactured

Bought in Feb cause I had knock offs(lasted over a year), these did not even last 4 months!! Fading really bad on sides and smell horrible after wearing just a short time and orange specks are growing in the soles. Customer service seemed to want to help at first and asked for all information and then said cause its been 6 months they won't help. Honestly the first and only time I will ever buy vans shoes. My other big brand shoes are 10 years old and have never done what these vans did in months. Horrible waste of money! The only offer was a small percentage off my next purchase but this was my first ever purchase and i was super excited and now, what? I have to take a chance in buying another pair & hope this doesnt happen again? The customer service agent said they hoped this one isolated incident didn't sour vans for me but it really has. I know the agent is doing their job and I know vans doesn't really care if one person says they aren't going to shop their again but please don't waste your money on these. They are definitely not made for everyday use if just wearing them for a few days a week did this. Next time I am going to do my research cause the reviews I have found on reddit say they don't last but a few months.

very hard to get into contact with you guys, item came stained in bad condition.

The shoe is falling apart after a couple weeks

Sent me a right shoe that had a black burnt hole that goes through the other side Do u not check anything before its shipped?!

I have about 5 pairs of shoes in rotation for over a year and half and the only ones falling apart are the vans. I have Nike mesh shoes, adidas mesh shoes and several more. Out of all the shoes I have in rotation the vans get the least use and some how the back wall of the shoe shattered into 5 pieces and had to be taken out, making their support completely useless. You see the little fold on the inside of the bottom of the shoe? It'll break after being worn a few times. Making the vans useless in the rain or any situation with water, it takes on water on the smallest splashes. I'd argue even the Nike Jordan mesh shoes, roshis and my mesh nmds hold up better in water than the vans because their shoes are designed to break at the folds. Literally planned obsolescence. I WILL NEVER GIVE MONEY TO THIS COMPANY EVER AGAIN. LITERALLY THE CRUDDIEST SHOES AND WORTHLESS IN THE WATER, WHICH WAS THIER WHOLE PURPOSE. SO NOW I WEAR MY NMDS OUT IN THE RAIN AND THE VANS ARE THE WORST!

i like the shoes, they was nice & clean & the vans package wasn't damaged which is good because i like to keep the box just to put my vans back in , but overall the vans are nice & comfortable

My first time ordering from the site and my shoes are a dingy yellow color instead of white! Hoping an exchange goes well

I've bought the Old School Skate before and loved them. I decided to but a pair not to skate in, which were the Old School. They are not my cup of tea.

I want to start out by saying I'm an avid Vans-wearer and I am NOT an avid review-leaver. I think a review is necessary in this case though. I've never been disappointed in any of my Vans but that's an understatement with these. I'm super upset that I only got to wear them twice before they were ruined by turning yellow :( I noticed they turned some after spraying them with Vans stain protectant (when they were BRAND NEW), but then after one wash, they were completely yellow! I can't wear these anymore because of this. Highly disappointed!!
