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.

These would be amazing if they had ultracush insoles.

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.

I received my Van's within a few days and always love the look and comfort. I am 66 years old and have been wearing Van's since the early 90's. Wouldn't wear anything else.

First time buying a taller Vans shoe and it did not disappoint. True to size. Be careful of sock choice higher up in the ankle. High quality and well designed shoe thanks Vans

Like most high tops, it's a little extra work to put the shoe on, but I assure you that it's well worth it! It's rare to have that broken in feeling from day 1. I was surprised at how amazing these feel out the box.

These Vans are the best pair I've ever bought. The detail in color and stitching is incredible and they're very comfortable to wear. Highly recommend.

The leather & details makes it alittle dressy but can also dress it down . Vans are just the best. Mostly because the product is always good quality and the price points are fair

I got my first pair in-shop more than a year ago, and they are still holding up incredibly well despite the heavy use they get daily. I only noticed that the problem I have is the heel of the shoe wore down. Love these to death and they fit like a glove while providing great support for my foot.
