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.

I thought Vans were all no slip and I fell on my rear at work..slipped hard. I bought them for work so I’m very disappointed
I'd also recommend:
Fila no slip don’t slip I don’t like style

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 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.

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.
