This is NOT a "Classic" Old Skool Tumbled Leather. It's made of some vinyl like synthetic. No wonder everyone's heels are getting killed. Synthetic leathers do not break in, do not mold to your feet, do not breathe! What a mistake I made. I have almost 50 pair of Vans and I have never been so disappointed in a pair of shoes. Stay away from this shoe!! I feel terrible that I bought this shoe at my local Vans store, where they listed it as Classic Tumbled Leather and I bought it on spec. Now I have to hurt a small local business with a return because Vans cheaped out on low-quality materials. Shame on you, Vans! Oh, and the other thing: I have almost 30k points and whenever I go to one of three Vans stores in my area, they almost NEVER have any of the freebies you require customers to go in-store to get. This whole point system is really starting to look like a bait and switch. Stop with the trinkets and give your frequent buyers something meaningful, like discounts and preferred access to collab drops.

I ordered the size I usually wear and they were so tight that I could barely get my foot in. Don't recommend. Will be returning them.

I love vans and especially the white leather vans. I have a certain pair that I LOVE but was needing a new pair when I purchased these. They are super cute and look exactly like I like but they tear apart my heals every time I wear them. I have tried only wearing these particular ones for a very short amount of time (< 30min) and I still end up with a torn up heal. I definitely would recommend vans to everyone but to just stay away from this style.

I accidentally purchased this particular pair, meaning to purchase the canvas Old Skools. I kept them thinking they couldn't be much different... but BOY I was was wrong. These are so uncomfortable at the heel you can barely wear them. I also can't seem to get the laces tight like other pairs of Vans. Disappointing!

I love my other pairs of Vans but these KILL my heals. I keep hoping they will wear in but no luck.
They look nice tho I just can't bear to wear them.

First things first shoes arrived late, when shoes arrive they were poorly made stitching wasn't there correctly or it wasn't stitched correctly the top of the shoe was dirty and it made no sense to return them since they had already arrived late no I do not recommend this product

These are very uncomfortable shoes. They rub against the bottom of my ankle & have no support. Definitely returning them

Color is different on the toe and is now suede instead of canvas! I'm very disappointed as this was my go to. Now I will have to look elsewhere unless the canvas on the toe is brought back. Quality has changed

Normally I love my vans and find them very comfortable, but these give me blisters and are just painful. Not sure why.

Have always worn a 13 in Vans. This style was like a size 14x . So I ordered size 12, and they were way too small.
Very disappointed

Mostly canvas and very little leather. The leather looks yellow in the light compared to the white fabric. I regret buying these and feel ripped off.

Very disappointed. Leather is damaged from the glue and it looks like stained from mud. Im big fan of Vans but this black oldskool is true disappointment. Also run too big.

They're certainly the correct length and width, but I've never encountered this before; they are too short! There isn't enough vertical room for my foot and getting them on is impossible once laced. It's really strange since my Authentic Vans fit like a dream.

So bummed. I've worn these for decades. My other pairs have lasted and lasted.
Perhaps Vans outsourced production? This latest pair started falling apart within 2 months. 8 months in, they are trashed. I'm very sad about this - these were my all time favorite shoes.

I am very dissapointed with this sneakers. After the first day of use the fabric at the top tore apart. It seems the material was very thin. Not sturdy enough for a teenager.

Tongue will not stay in place, very annoying! Shoes also squeak bad with every step, also very annoying. They hurt your achilles the first 2 or 3 times you wear a new pair. They have zero arch support. I do like the old school style but I'm very unhappy with the quality.
