Customer Reviews Vans Old Skool™ - DELETED

This shoe had no arch support. I tried 2 different sizes, but neither worked The black glitter color was really cute.

The shoe was the exact right size, but hurt my foot as soon as I took a step. The laces were very loose, and yet the very-stiff tongue was stabbing into my tendons on the top/front of my feet. I have owned many pairs of both cheap and expensive shoes, and I have never experienced this issue. Someone took a shortcut with the design and never looked back. Returning the shoes immediately.

Beautiful design but the upper padding where it meets with the tongue and shoe laces is too narrow putting too much pressure on the ankle area.

silver sage came looking like khaki - totally different then the color name and picture shown still a decent shoe for the price just wish the color was true to the name/pic like the shoe but gave overall 2 stars for the color

Had a very difficult time getting my heel into these, even with a big show horn. The heel is too stiff and rigid. Once in, the fit was fine — except ZERO arch support. Now I remember why I stopped buying Vans decades ago.

The shoes were beautiful and I love the design but I could not walk in them at all. The back of the shoe rubbed against my Achilles heel and gave me a small blister after only a few paces around my living room.

I really liked the look of the shoe. It’s a very basic shoe that you can wear with anything. My problem is that they are a bit too narrow for me and hurt my feet. I have wide feet and have had better luck with Pumas. The thing I didn't count on was that I didn't figure out I couldn’t wear the shoes until I walked a little bit. Since my apartment is small, I didn't really have any room to walk in them inside. So, since I wore them outside, I couldn't return them. I sold them to a friend and lost money on the deal. Made me wonder about buying shoes online.

They look good... But they are very stiff and uncomfortable. After wearing them 1 day, my feet hurt. They have a very stiff footbed and a hard rubber sole. They are great looking, but extremely rigid and I wondered how this company has been around so long. I do wear a size 13, however, so I'm not sure if it is just an issue with the size or not. I wore them several more days hoping they would soften up, but they didn't and only caused my feet more pain and discomfort. What's really strange is that I just tried some other Vans in 13, the original style in all black, on in a store locally, and they felt great! Go figure. I could not return these shoes because I did wear them for several days. Zappos issued me a $30 credit since I couldn't return them, but I think it was only good for a short time, and I didn't want to buy-before-you-try anymore.

Blah. I own these shoes. Best thing I can say about then is that I didn't spend much on them. They're more or less comfortable... wide enough in the toe-box that I don't feel smushed in, but a little loose in the heel. Not much padding in the heel, but okay for walking not too far. The worst thing about them is how quickly they wore out... I had them only about two and a half months before they were ripped near my toe joint, where the shoe flexes when I walk... and now, less than six months later, the sole is all but worn through and I'm already looking to get another pair of shoes (not Vans). Not only that, but the break-in period is rather annoying (and lasts several weeks) b/c the back of the sole is not ergonomically shaped, so walking in them sort of goes clunk-clunk-clunk as you go from heel to toe. This wouldn't be good if you have sensitive feet. Last, there look is pretty played out by now and I felt just like every indie rocker and punk living in Providence (and the rest of the world). Which is lame. I won't buy them again.

Product stated delivered but never got the shoes. Bogus.

They do fit but they’re very heavy and uncomfortable. The reason I got them was the rubber sole which does seem to have good traction.

I hate these. I have had vans before and thought I would like them. they are hard to break in. The inside sutures rub against my toe and I have made them blister twice now. I am so uncomfortable with them. I wanted a cute travel white sneaker that I can wear and I feel I cant wear these ever again. I wish I could return them
