Customer Reviews Vans Old Skool

Although I’ve only been wearing these shoes for three weeks, they already feel more comfortable than my standby Chucks. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a cool but casual canvas shoe. My only complaint thus far is a minor risk of blistering to the back of the ankle - the shoe rubs up against skin in this area, especially when wearing ankle socks.

This is the second pair of shoes like this my son has owned. He loves them! I was amazed at how fast they got here. I ordered one day after lunch and they were here the next morning! Thanks Zappos!

I cannot comment on the shoe exactly, since I purchased them as a Christmas gift for my brother who loves them and says they are fantastic! But I can personally comment on Zappos, which continues to amaze me with each purchase I make. If I remember correctly, I ordered the shoe late on a Saturday and they were magically here by Monday! Thank you Zappos employees for always being so amazingly awesome!

These are really fun throwback sneakers! Comfy. A bit stiff at first, but break in quickly. Look great with jeans.

Skate these! Rip 'em up. They've got great board feel and the waffle grip lasts. If you're throwing yourself down stairs, shove a Dr. Scholl's sport insole in there. Don't worry about the canvas either: Take some duct tape and seal up any holes from the inside of the shoe! Any Vans shoe is best 10 minutes out of the box, especially if you skate in them!

Much more comfy than my Chucks! I was looking for a comfortable flat shoe to tool around in when I am not at work. These are awesome, much more cushion and support than the Chuck Taylors I used to wear. They took maybe 3 wears to break in the back heel, so it wasn't stiff, but after that, they are very comfy. I would highly recommend these shoes - they look cool, too.

My son picked these out - My son picked these shoes out and he really likes them. The only thing was that they were a little stiff for the first few days. We're a comfort shoe family and aren't used to having to break in a pair of shoes. They look great and have since adjusted.

Timeless - I was a junior in h.s. when these first came out. I wore them almost every day. They are super comfortable and go with everything in the kick-back clothing department. I will admit that when I saw "old school" and "classic" it did make me feel a little bit aged. I still love these shoes and will always keep a pair in my closet.

Great shoe - Comfy right out of the gate, don't look for too much cushion or support but if you like wearing sandals these shoes are similar in feel. Can’t say enough good things about Zappos customer service either.

You are a great buying source - I believe that one of the services you offer and I value most is your return policy. I am in constant need of new styles and different sizes all the time and I have been successful ordering through you. Your variety of styles and brands is very impressive. The following is not criticism but is something that I have experienced that you may want to know... the only problem I have experienced is that sometimes finding different options in colors or styles when purchasing for bigger sizes both for women and men has been somewhat limited. But I cannot complain.

BEST dance/zumba shoes. I've tried Nike Musique IV, shox cameo a shox ballo and these were by far the most supportive and cushiony. They run narrow so order a 1/2 size up if you have wide feet. The bloch brands are more flexible but these have more support. Since there's a lot of lateral movements in Zumba, I like this shoe for that type of dance and wear my bloch drt for less movement classes.

Never Fail!! Always Cool!! Started wearing them in the early 80s and always have a pair ready to wear. I once lost a pair while moshing in circle pit at a Blast show in Santa Cruz. Good times good times!!

Sensational. I have a wide foot and I didn't think these shoes would work, but they did!! Love them.

Great casual kicks - Had the navy and black ones back in middle school. Twelve years later, I bought another pair in black and can still pull them off--go figure. I normally wear a 9.5 and was glad to find that the 9.5's I ordered fit perfectly. Need some break in time to dirty them up; I don't like my feet glowing of new shoe. It makes me uncomfortable. Zappos' delivery and service is crazy fast and reliable. Been buying from them for years, now.

The perfect shoes - The shoes were perfect. They came the day after I ordered them and they fit perfect. Comfortable, and way better then wasting the gas to drive into town to get shoes. Zappos is great and I will continue to buy from them again and again.

Great Shoes for Daily Use - Great shoe, normally I'm a 14, but only 13 in Vans. Order down 1 size.

Great job, Zappos! Quick delivery of precisely what was ordered. Needed a men's size 14, which is hard to find in this shoe--even at Vans stores! Easy ordering, quick delivery, and just as requested--perfect!

Easy shopping - My son hates to shop and needed new shoes. He is also very picky on style and brand. Zappos had what he wanted, both size and style. Arrived very quickly. Will use Zappos again.

Great Review - I will never understand in a million years how in the world you guys are so fast. Why can't other companies come to your location and take a lesson. This was the easiest, quickest, and most efficient shopping I have ever done on the internet, maybe ever. Thanks so much.

Awesome Shoes - I got one of the last three pairs of the black on black colored ones. They look awesome and after a week or so of breaking in, they are extremely comfortable. Great for just about anything.
