Glad I bought these shoes - Look awesome. Can never go wrong with having and old school lookin pair of Vans. Let alone Vans. They are extremely comfortable and I'm totally diggin’ the colors. Go NAVY. Gotta rep. Love 'em.

Sk8-Hi Obsession - Please stop coming out with so many cool looking color combinations in the SK8-Hi's. I am weak, and will order them all. These are my favorite shoe of all time and I have been buying them since like 8th-grade. I'm hoping Van's will reproduce the previous Hi-Top style that came before the SK8-Hi's.

My daughter loved these - My daughter was very excited about these - they are cute, trendy, and not much is out there for her in a women's size 13. At 11 years old she likes cute & these are definitely cute. Fit is true, they are a little wide.

Z cubes - I just got these shoes in the mail the other day, only two days after I ordered them. These are my third shoes that I bought from Zappos.com. Great quality and great service. I can't wait to start wearing them in public. Yay thanks Zappos.

There’s a reason for 30 years. I love these shoes to death! They are some of the best I've ever skated and I don't think I will skate anything else. The only problem is that their kind of hard to put on, so just bar lace them, but other than that I love these!

Great retro style- This is my third pair of these from Zappos. These shoes are fantastic once they break in (doesn't take long). So many shoes these days are so dressed up like they belong to some kind of astronaut. I always get great compliments on the shoes wherever I go. These have a very classic style to them and that's why I have been wearing these since the 70's. Shoe fitting wise if you wear a 9 1/2 get a size 9.

The fit was great, but found them incredibly difficult to get on, I had to keep stretching them with my hands, and after about 5 times got them. Wish they had a tab to help pull them on. Also, I have the picante color and the dye from it is rubbing off when I put them on, it’s gotten all over the white laces.

Perfect first hi-tops - Great-looking shoes - wear with the tongue in or out, comfortable except for an initial rubbing of the back part of the hi-top because it's new and stiff. Loosening the laces will help with this. I'm very very happy with these. I wear an 8.5 90% of the time (9's very rarely), so I ordered my exact size. They felt only slightly larger than other 8.5's, though not enough for me to buy a smaller size.

Beast - Sk8 His are great I got a pair last year I don’t like some of the colors but the white and green ones are dope but if you like these get Mountain Editions they are so fresh but hard to find.

Great Look - Not a bad shoe but my Hallie and Bearkitty's are more comfortable. This is my first pair of hi-tops and they take getting used to. They don't have the arch or heel support like the Hallie but that's ok. I like the look and even though they aren't comfortable enough for all-day walking, I can still wear them at work and just take them off when I get home. I take a 7 in regular shoes and always a 7.5 in sneakers, so these were right on the money for size. The width was also perfect for my foot, felt secure.

These made a great gift - Bought the skull version of the Vans SK8-Hi as a gift for my nephew, and he just loves them. Perfect for a 13 year old boy!

Great classic - Great shoes that take a bit of wearing in before becoming totally comfortable. Fit and finish is good.

Great look, zero comfort. The shoe looks great and is a deep brown. The sole is flat with zero support. Buy insoles. Beauty ain't comfort. Placed order one day and received the shoes the next afternoon.

Love my SK8-Hi's - These shoes are super comfortable... I did want to go a half size down but couldn't find the correct size on Zappos or Vans so I decided to just keep them. These shoes are really popular... I do get compliments whenever I wear them.

Vans SK8-Hi - Love these shoes! They felt a size bigger than marked, but Zappos quickly exchanged my order. :) The shoes are mildly comfortable, no arch support. But they look awesome!

Vans SK8-Hi! Love the shoes. The classic look. Takes a bit of breaking in to get real comfy, but once they're broken in, they're all good...

SK8 in 'em - These are the best value there is in hi-top skate shoes, and they're old-school chic. Get the ones with leather or suede uppers though, canvas just doesn't hold up.

Not what I was expecting but... I'm not a skater but I fell in love with these shoes when I saw them. The high ankle bothers me a bit and I recommend not lacing them too tight.

Vans - The shoe is really great and really good for skateboarding if you skate. The only thing that was wrong with them was that they were a little narrow at the area where the laces start. I had gotten blisters on my foot from this. But I continued wearing them because they were good for skating even though they did hurt a little.

Zappos service - Although I have not worn these shoes long enough to comment on them, I would like to comment on the Zappos service. It was FAST (shoes came the day after my order), and the sales person was extremely helpful and courteous. Thanks.

Vans SK8 - They fit right out of the box with no problem. Good fit but not as comfortable as other makes that I paid less money for. That is my only complaint about these shoes is that they are over-priced. However, if you like the look and style and are willing to pay the price, they're worth it.
