I was very happy to get these shoes because I had them from back in the day!

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...

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.

Good looking shoes; a little painful to break in but worth it.

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.

Great Look -
I absolutely love the style of the Vans SK8-Hi shoes. The skull designs on the side of the shoes are the best part. Another thing that I liked was that you could change the colors of the shoe strings from black to white at no extra cost. Thanks Zappos.

Stylish. Not that comfortable, but stylish.
I usually wear a 10.5 wide, so, as consensus seemed to be that these run a bit large, I opted for an 11, and I think that's about the best I was going to do. A touch narrow and a bit long in the toe, but a half size smaller would have been painful and anything larger would have looked comical. I imagine they'll be a bit better as they break in, but, frankly, I didn't buy a pair of pink and gray leather hi-tops for comfort alone.

I love my Vans -
These shoes are super cool. The only problem is it is sort of a long process breaking them in regarding the hi-top area. Otherwise, no complaints.

I'm a vans girl through and through. But I put my new pair on and thought something was off? So I compared the new ones to my old ones I bought 2 years ago and they are two very different shaped. Same shoes.

Vans sk8-hi -
I got these Vans as a birthday gift... and they're pretty good. I wouldn't recommend them if you're planning on skating a lot. They start to hurt your feet after a while. If you get these just to have and not skate in, they're a great shoe. I just don't like skating in them cause they hurt my feet. Insoles don't help much either because there isn't any padding on another places. I wouldn't recommend these shoes when it comes to skating.

Not for skating -
These shoes just look cool, they're actually floppy and pretty uncomfortable for me - I need a bit of arch support. They also come almost a full size larger than what you're used to.

Disappointed!!
I have been wearing vans for 5 years, and no other sneaker matches Van's fit and comfort. I thought this sneaker would be of the same fit/comfort in a high-top. Boy was I wrong. These are nothing more than converse high-top sneakers at twice the price. Zero comfort, zero support.

I love the ginger brown color with the red laces. So fun. These shoes are so comfortable and I know they're going to last a long time. Great quality shoe! #Sweepstakes

These shoes are perfect for our random adventures... it doesn't matter if it's a hike, running through the rain, or cozying up around the fire together, these shoes keep my feet dry, comfortable, and warm. Plus they look amazing. Definitely not my last pair by a long shot!

I say this with complete sincerity, these might be my favorite pair of Vans, EVER. I ordered based on the look and color. When I got them in hand, I wasn't disappointed. I loved the hiking boot color mixed with Vans SK8-HI and the suede felt really nice. Then, I put them on and I was immediately surprised with just how comfy the shoes were. Inside it was soft, cushy and hands down the most comfortable Vans I've ever put on my feet. The outer material keeps moisture out, so long as I'm not stepping in deep puddles. I will say that as much as I love these shoes and heep praise on them, one thing to keep in mind is that they do not have good support especially if doing a lot of walking.
Even with that limitation, I still love these shoes. I love them so much I own two pairs so I can have a replacement when the first pair finally gives out. It's been a year and I wear them almost daily and they are still in good condition.
