Classic Vans fit, which is perfect. The laces are just a bit fickle to deal with. Otherwise fantastic.

Rockin look, NOT for skating in - These shoes look totally awsome, feel pretty good when your not SKATIN in them. The sole sticks to the board like its got glue on it. The sides hold up pretty good, but just not worth the pain of the board hitting these little padded shoes. I recomend these for shoes, just not for core skater shoes. And they kinda flop around, even though you have them really tight, and I have somewhat WIDE feet.

Take a timewarp back to the eighties with these babies - The ultimate in retro-cool skating shoes. Oh so comfy with great grip and flexability; a pity they don't last that long when you DO skate in them.

Vans32 - I am really enjoying my vans old school schools I recently purchased. I like the look and find that they go well with everyday outfits. Although considering how much they cost I might have expected a little more comfort although I wouldn't say that they are uncomfortable. I would not considering returing them however. Also I was impressed with the convenient returning and fast shipping of Zappos.com. Thank you.

Old Skool, New coolness - One reason I picked Old Skool was because of the groovy patterns available- I chose Tropical Leaf. These shoes are well made and easy to clean. They look great too. The only problem was that the 'Off The Wall' Insignia on the heel soon faded off my pair. Otherwise, these are attractive street shoes with wide appeal.

Converse Chuck Taylor, Skechers

These are cute, but they feel stiff and clunky on unfortunately. I don't think they fit well with the anatomy of my feet because the tongues or the openings of the shoes dig into my feet as I walk. Also they came a bit scuffed and dirty. :( really like the style otherwise.

I like the look and comfort of these shoes but I am disappointed in how fast they fell apart. I have only had them a couple months and don’t wear them all that often, but there are multiple holes in the left one.

Sorry I had to return these shoes because I loved the pattern and the look, however they were too high at the ankle. They hit on my ankle bone , rubbed when I walked and were uncomfortable. I really hated not keeping them.

The style and color (grey and white) were great. I ordered the mens 10.5 for my grandson. The fit was very narrow for a regular mens shoe. I think because the shoe is meant for either a man or woman, it runs narrower than it normally would. We love the Vans shoe and have had good experience with them. We will stick to the wider size from now on.

I ordered these in Drizzle/True White and the material inside the heel is a plastic / fake leather material and it makes my no show socks fall down and is causing a blister on my Achilles’ tendon area. I have several pairs of canvas Vans and have never had this issue before.

These shoes look great. But they are definitely not very comfortable. I've had decent Vans in the past... but comfort-wise, this shoe does not make the cut.

I wanted to love these as they're really cute, however the seam across the top of the foot could be felt inside the shoe. Super uncomfortable even when just standing. :-(

Wish they had wide sizes. I'm hoping they stretch a little.

Always liked Vans but the this pair doesn\'t feel as comfortable on the feet. True there is no arch support but prior purchases have always felt softer on the soles of my feet. Somehow missing a few layers of cushion on this model.

Two weeks of wear and they're not any better. Stiff. Narrow. Rubbing all over my feet. Uncomfortable. Blisters galore. They should include a box of bandaids with these.

I thought the shoes were cute online but they arrived not like the picture. The material looks like the stuff used to cast a broken bone, the color is also off and appears different than appeared on the website. The brown side stripe is sewn with white thread which makes it look very noticeable opposed to how it seamlessly appears in the photo.

I've gotten the perf slip on for years in both the black and white. I reorder the white recently in the same size as always (women's 7.5) and they are suddenly way to wide. Slip right off my feet when walking.

I love this style and design, but they are so uncomfortable. Even adding insoles to alleviate the lack of arch support the top of the shoes were pinching. I wish I could make them work.

While these are cute, they were very uncomfortable and I sent them back. The ankle part comes up high and cut into my ankle, and there was NO arch support. Furthermore, I didn't like how the "non suede" part looked, and it seemed liked it would get dirty very quickly -- these would be much cuter if the whole thing was suede.
