I regret buying these shoes. They're mostly a canvas material that stains really easily. The leather accents look yellow in the sunlight and against the bright white fabric. I wore them one day and yellow stains started to appear all around the stiched areas. This is hands down the worst shoe I've ever purchased. I feel so ripped off.

This style is not comfortable at all compared to the other pairs of vans I own.

Just a horrible shoe, they hurt your feet and the tongue slides to the side of you foot, zero arch support. The shoe couldn't be worse.

This shoe fell apart on me. First, within a month my right shoe got a tear in the toe fabric (I have no idea how). Then, the rubber molding behind the heel in both shoes began to break and crumble within the shoe. Within about 6 months the shoes were unwearable. Although they started off looking nice, I do not recommend this shoe!

I've been wearing different pairs of these style Vans since the mid '90s. Needless to say, I've put them through their paces, and I know what they can handle. For some reason, this last pair completely fell apart in 4 months -- from regular wear. My other pairs I've had throughout the years have lasted literally for 2-3 years at a time! I believe Vans is slowly but surely replacing all of their quality materials with cheaper versions. I'm sick of it! After 16 years, no more Vans for me.
I'd also recommend:

Size 16 Vans Old Skool Core Classics -
The shoe was not what I was expecting. It fits, but the style is different from what I am used to. The heel and sole are flatter with less support than the Vans I am used to. It is still a serviceable shoe, but I was slightly disappointed.

Most of the old van style shoes aren’t made for comfort but I continue to love the style. My son wore these for some of his nicer occasions rather than fighting with him to wear a nicer shoe. Can’t go wrong with Vans when it comes to fashion and so happy that they starting making shoes that finally provide comfort as well.

It's been quite a few years since I bought a pair of Checkerboard Vans, and I was worried that the quality would have gone down like so many other brands these days. When they arrived, I was happy to see they were the same great Vans I remembered.
Fun Fact: Since the checkboard part is canvas, you can color the white squares whatever colors you want with Sharpies!

Size and fit were good. I would like them to have more cushion, but I will buy some insoles because I walk a lot in them.

I started wearing Vans in the 90s and have always loved them. The style, the comfort, the quality, always the best. Now I get to share that with my son, and he's already a fan as well! Nothing beats the classic checker pattern.

This is not the first pair of Old Skool Vans I've purchased because they're the perfect everyday sneaker. These will be a great refresher for fall. The color is a cool icy blue. In yellow lighting it looks a little lavender so just beware of that. #sweepstakes
