Best shoes ever. I had a pair for well over 7 years, dog chewed them up so i had to buy more. It took about 3 days to break them in and havent had a complaint at all. They look good with everything. You need a pair.

Great shoes, bought my second pair. The top where the ankle is needs to be worn in before you wear them around, I just bent it around till it was soft.

These shoes are awesome and I buy them once a year. Please don't buy them for yourself because I live to be the only one that wears them. I hope all celebrities stay away from these. Also, I am responsible for bringing back wayfarers 4 years ago. I have been wearing them for a long time and now everybody and their older single mom has a pair. Do you own thing, not mine.

These shoes are great. I have been wearing this style since 1985 and I think I just purchased my 15th pair this year! I should of purchased some Vans stock!

Shopped all over the place, and no one had my size. Then I thought, Zappos VIP! Had the shoes on my long board the next afternoon. I love Zappos VIP.

I love black, so these fit the aesthetic bill. They are also comfortable, and require very little break in time. They are not for running marathons in, so take them for what they are - comfortable lounging shoes.

My 9 year old son loves these shoes! He wanted something cool, and these really fit that for him. They're also comfortable, and though he takes a wide, these mediums fit fine. Will definitely order Vans again.

These are the perfect shoes. For me, they require no break in time; they have a thick, comfortable sole. I work in a restaurant and I don't slide around in the kitchen - these are pretty sturdy. I think they go with everything. They might run a little big for some because of the unisex size.

My son lives in his Vans. The Old Skool is the only sneaker he will wear, and I have to say that I think they're pretty cool too.

My son likes this shoe. We would've liked a 12-1/2, initially, but his feet apparently have grown since we bought these a couple months ago (scary!). He likes them very much -- this brand in particular -- because the arch support is minimal. With his flat feet, they're perfect! Thanks!

My son wears a size 15 shoe, so Zappos is the only place he can find shoes. He loves Vans and its great that you have them in the bigger sizes, they always fit and it is easy and convenient to get them with the over night shipping, as I am a VIP customer. Great shoe, fits him well. He can be stylish even tho he needs a bigger size.

These are my sons favorite brand of sneaker/skate shoe. and he was looking for a comfortable all black pair. I found these on your website at Zappos and he has not taken them off since, he loves them for comfort and style.

I bought these for my husband with my teenage daughters' consultations. He actually loves them and they spare him from walking around town in ugly running shoes. His look is updated without being over the top.

While these look great, the lack of support and hardness of the sole warrants some kind of insole. They hurt my knees after a while. Dr. Scholl's would be a good idea.

This shoe is a classic. Great look that goes with anything. Not the most comfortable shoe, but I don't expect much from Vulcs. If I had Old Skools in every color I wouldn't need any other shoe.

These shoes rock! If you're wanting that classy Vans look, but still want something a tad bit different, the Vans Old Skool in all black are the way to go! I grew up skateboarding, and honestly Vans were the first pair skate shoes I ever owned. So naturally I was stoked when the Vans Slip-ons became popular about 5-6 years ago, but I always wanted to be able to match something that was hip and classy with something that actually resembled a skate shoe. When I dress up for a wedding, I'm certainly not wearing dress shoes, but I'm also not wearing those huge boxy skate shoes that have also become popular. Outside of that, these shoes are extremely comfortable and durable. I'd say even more so than the Vans Slip-ons or Authentics. This is coming from a guy who now owns a variety of indoor and outdoor shoes. In other words, I've worn a stupid amount of shoes over the years and these stand up above the many. Not only do the Vans Old Skool Core Classics meet that need to be comfortable and classy while remaining totally rad, but excuse me, they are the standard. If the Vans Old Skool Core Classics are good enough still for Steve Cab or Dave Grohl to continue wearing, then they're absolutely still good enough for me to wear, to anything... Scratch that, everything (even weddings and scholarship ceremonies).

I purchased these sneakers for my daughter and she absolutely adores them (she picked them out). She has large feet and they actually make her feet look small.
