So comfortable. Look badass. Perfect shoe. A wider and more laid back person of Chucks. Highly recommended!

Great shoe. The black canvas runs smaller and truer to size than the original black and white suede. Usually wear a 15 in the original sk8-hi's and had to send the black canvas back for 14s.

These shoes look better than the pictures -- my granddaughter LOVES them. The size was true to size but it was nice to know I could easily return them if they didn't fit. The shipping was FAST and free. I LOVE ZAPPOS!

These are the best shoes ever. This is pair number four. This is my first time in red. Oh so red!

I received my black SK8 Hi Hemp with white sole pretty quickly which I was stoked on. They do feel half a size larger, and I would return them for half a size down, only I was exited to skate in them and well, there you go. They should work fine, though. They came with two sets of white laces, a super thin stiff round version, and regular white round laces. I went with the regular round laces, and since my feet are fat, I laced them up to he second to last lace hole so I could double knot them. They feature typical Vans cushioning, which is pretty good but nothing spectacular. The sole is sticky, they feature regular Vans flick and grip, and the suede and collar feel secure and keep my ankle locked in. The sole is factory marked GSI and the Vans waffle grip is a little bigger than other tread sizes. Weird. IFC factory soles have the worst durability so hopefully these will have better rubber, no matter the size of the tread. Once these stretch out a bit, I plan on ripping out the cushioning sockliner, and replacing it with Ortholite insoles from my ave natives, while hopefully not damaging the shockbeds underneath. Thanks, Zappos, and Vans!

These are awesome. They're always awesome. Best classic Vans style ever. Zappos is awesome. They're always awesome. That's all there is to it.

I love these shoes. I was looking to replace my Chuck slides and these fit the bill. They look cool with any style of jeans, shorts, skirts, too. They are very comfortable and have lots of room in the toe bed. I added a Dr. Scholl's insole because I have high arches, and now they are perfect. I'm an 8 to 8.5 in tennies and the 8 fit me perfectly, even with the added insole.

These are super comfortable, and fit perfectly. This style is so perfectly retro, they clash fantastically with everything.

If you've never owned Vans before, know they run small. Order a half size or even a full size larger than you would normally do. As far as the look, how cool is that. I think way.

It was a little hard to walk in at first but once broken in was great

This is my first velcro pair and I love them! So comfy and a throwback to my younger days. My only negative is the color doesn't match the website. I thought I was getting red not maroon.

I really like these shoes but the sizing is weird. I have another pair with laces the same size and yet these feel smaller on my feet. Definitely order a half size up.

would have given this a 4.5 rating or higher but one thing to know about the rubber sole near the heel there is writing molded into it which reads "hopeless romantic" and has some flowers
this isnt my cup of tea but my wife loves it, also wish they had this in a location closer to me so that i could've tried on the size which felt a little on the larger side but i know even a half done from 10 (which is what i got) would've been too small/tight on my slightly larger foot

You can't go wrong with an Old Skool. Love this pair, but the red is not as rich in person vs the picture. The shoes are more of a maroon color. Not terrible, and still keepings, just a little bummer.

The shoe is great, beautiful pattern. My nephew likes it. It's just the colors a little off, but he still wanted to keep it.

Great product. Shoes were easy to order, shipped quickly, and fit great. The only downside is the suede coloring is coming off on the laces almost immediately. I tied to look at different lacing options and after three attempts to get the Laci g just right I found the white laces were turning a dirty yellow and had to wash them before moving forward.

The size, the fit, and the style to fit pretty much and wardrobe. I only gave them 4 stars to give other shoes a chance.

These are probably my favorite vans of all. The only thing that was a little disappointing was that it wasn't the color in the pic. But, I will still wear them just have to find that color

I bought these shoes for my daughter whom is picky, and she loves these. They fit nice after you break them in. She can have fun with putting an ensemble together.

Okay I am in love with the color, sizing and comfort. Only reason I dropped a star is because the stitching on the foot came off center. I went to exchange them and they are better but not perfect. So I looked around and came to realize none are perfect so I am okay and happy with mine.
