Customer Reviews Vans Sk8-Hi

Solid, but not enough air flow.

I bought these for my son and overall they look great and he likes how they feel. The only complaint, which might become an issue since we are dealing with a teenage boy, is that the shoelaces have absorbed some of the red dye and are now turning pink.

Everything was true to size. If you want a little more wiggle room, order a half size up.

Perfect he loves them great style for a cool dude

These shoes are super cute but do tend to accentuate larger feet. I still really like them, very comfortable shoe with great ankle support.

These definitely run large. I usually wear a 7 in sneakers, 6 1/2 in everything else and the 6 1/2 fits perfectly. Very comfortable thick sole but no arch support. Pretty (the floral) and very well made, but definitely a casual shoe. I wouldn’t use these for any kind of exercise.

Cute, but ran a half size too big.

Let me start with the positive: these look awesome! I love the color, material, and style. For the slightly less-awesome: they are a bit difficult to get on and off (both the tongue of the shoe and the high top portion are somewhat stiff and thick so it can be challenging to maneuver your feet in and out). Also, they are not the most comfortable shoes. They are heavy--much heavier than Converse, by comparison--and the soles don't really bend with my feet as I walk. Also, the high-top rubs a bit on my ankles, even wearing high socks. I will keep them because they just look so great, and hopefully the comfort issues will get better as the shoes are broken in.

I love the style of this shoe but for those of you who have wide feet be where they do tend to run snug in the width. I ended up ordering one half-size up and this did the trick. I believe I will have to add a heel insert for more cushion but I feel the shoe is comfortable for running errands ....and short walks. I love the style and I ordered a pair and lavender. I may order of other version and future as I believe Leather will stretch in width.. Normally I wear an 8 1/2 but I ended up with the size 9.

I buy these shoes again and again. They are so comfy and true to size. However, the color that I ordered this time said blue flower/white so I expected them to be a baby blue or something but when I got them they looked mint green!

I ended up with these in red canvas because my first 3 picKs were sold out in my size. I usually wear a 7.5 but find a 7 fits best in these, they were not comfortable on the ankles the first 2 times I wore them but are getting better. Breaking in quickly and I get lots of compliments on how cute they are. Overall I'm happy but feel like I would've been happier with suede.

It was very stylish and goes very well with lots of wardrobe options.

LOVE THESE SHOES!!! These are great. Comfortable and great for everyday use. Only problem is, I wish I returned them because the toe area of the shoe started to rip open. I absolutely love them and I did super glue them after stalling and realizing it would get worse if I didn't. I'm definitely going to repurchase though! But tip:if you do see any rip at all return and get another pair ð???

Great style of shoes. I am usually a size 10 1/2 but i had to order a size ten because they seemed too big on me. I reccomend a half size smaller than normal.

Half a size larger but not bad enough to send them back. Vans do not have any arch support, still are comfortable to wear all day. Love the sewed LA emblem in the back.

I adore these shoes, except I am returning them. The stitching where the upper joins the toe box is bulky on the inside and just kills with irritation. Wish they didn't really great look, good fit, but the stitching doesn't cut it.

These shoes are great. They're very in right now-- I see sk8-his and lows a lot in NYC. In terms of comfort, they're exactly what I expected. Vans are more comfortable than Converse, but still lacking in arch support. I got my regular Vans size and they were perfect. I like canvas Vans because you can just throw them in the wash when they get dirty.

My daughter wears a 5.5 for boys and we purchased a 6.5 for women for her in the Navy. She loves the shoes. However, as a parent, I'm unsure about the lack of arch support due to the design of the heels of the shoes. Overall, my daughter has not complained about her shoes. It has been a comfortable experience for her.

Vans hi tops have been a staple in my life since my skateboarding days in the late 80's, and these do not disappoint after all these years. They are well built and I've never had any issues with the construction. They do lack arch support, but I'm ok with that. The soles have a softer rubber, which is great for gripping grip tape and bike pedals, but to wear a bit quicker than some other shoes. Overall I love the way these look and feel, and will continue to buy them.

I normally wear a size 11.5 but these felt about a half size too big. I prefer my shoes to feel right or loose right away so I kept them. They feel great, and its hard to go wrong with all black mid tops. The material is canvas so it tends to look dusty after a couple days wear, but can be easily brushed off or wiped down with a damp cloth to retain that fresh look. Overall a great shoe, my second pair and I would buy them again.

Nice high-tops. They kinda wear out quickly, but i wasn't looking for something super durable. I just wanted me some high top action! I use them a lot for slack-lining and they work great to cushion my ankle when doing tricks. Thanks, enjoy.
