I bought these shoes at the same time as Nike running shoes. I just wanted these for the office and going out, as they looked nice. They are one of the more painful shoes that I own, very thin cushion and heel slip no matter how tight I make them. I'm just sticking with my running shoes for now.

Just received them. Very disappointed. My old pair of SK8's had tons of cushioning. Super comfortable. This new pair is thin like a pair of chucks.

Well, I bought this and it was on sale with an additional code.So I saved like 60% or something at first.It looked good online When I got it, they weren't playing that it was classic.It's like if they just went back in time and got the shoe from the past So if you're okay with that then get it So if you're wondering why there are so many pictures of the same shoe but little variations there's a reason I bought the skateboarding green one with gum sole and this regular one Night and day, the one for skateboarding fit.Perfect looks good.Great support.Great feeling super. beautiful lots of compliments .And this red one well I would only recommend it if you go a half size to a full size down and you have some good insoles Like the.thick ones .

I have been buying Vans since the mail order custom days in the 80's. 100's of pairs of eras and Sk8-hi's. Quality has gradually declined, more in the past few years.

This is the exact shoes I purchased because I "designed" my Sk8-Hi vans. I have had my particular pair of SK8-Hi shoes for a little over a year I don't wear them a lot because they began falling apart about a month after I received them. I now have to keep a tube of E6000/Shoe Goo on hand just to keep the soles from falling off. I have never had to do this to any pair of shoes I have owned. With that being said the shoes are comfortable to wear and the tread still looks very nice with very minimal wear but that's all because I don't wear them due to them falling apart. Keep in mind I don't skate I don't ride bikes anymore and the most I have done in these shoes is lift weights in the gym and go to the store in them.

I love vans, they're my go to shoe. When looking for a new pair, I chose to go with brown to match some outfits. However, when they arrived they were more maroon than brown. Will return for another pair

Not sure if these are real or a different "silhouette" but the ones I got wasn't like my original ones purchased from a reputable seller (footlocker). The original ankle liner was a soft white leather materiel while the ones I got from zappos was black and the opposite of soft and makes an annoying squeeking sound every single step I take

Daily middle school use, as part of a compulsory uniform. Not used for PE or sports. Uppers completely separated from soles. 2 stars for comfort.

Just received these and they are not monochromatic. The suede upper is more of a muted sage green, while the sole is kind of a brownish green. Too bad - the grey mono hi's I own are a perfect color match top and bottom. These are going back.

2 stars because they're Vans, would get zero for the canvas. I'm an old fogie that's been wearing Vans since 1978. These canvas SK8 His are a joke. Zero durability on the toe. Worse if you skate. Can't seem to find the classic black on black with leather toe and uppers. At least, not on the site.

Love the look of this shoe for my son, but after just a few wears, the rubber and canvas are coming apart at the crease where the foot bends. Disappointed in the quality and craftsmanship of this shoe.

I love them but the color Red is not true to size. I ordered 7.5 women's in black and red. The black for perfect but the red are too big.

Bought myself some green vans sk8-hi on december 27th.i only wear them on weekends because i wear boots for work during the week. ive never taken them camping, out of town, or performed any kind of work in them. Its been 87 days and they are completely falling apart seemingly out of nowhere. Im sure vans knows their shoes are purchased for fashion not for function. Ive been wearing vans EXCLUSIVELY for almost 20 years but its hard to justify being a customer when i can spend the same amount on other brands and get 5x the performance out of them.

Accent color not like the soles of the typical black vans. Much closer to a yellow. Not what I expected

Love the look but hate the sound They make a weird squeaky sound when I bend my foot while walking (Think SpongeBob in Squeaky Boots). Makes me hate wearing them I notified Van's customer service to exchange them but they would not I wonder why? They can afford to exchange a pair of shoes I now own a pair of Van's I can't and won't wear ever huge WASTE of money. Never had a problem with any of my other Van's which makes this situation very disappointing because they are cool looking shoes.

I have multiple pairs of SK8-Hi. This pair seems to be made differently than before. The tongue hurts my feet towards the top of my foot. Can't walk in them. I'll have to visit a store and try a pair on next time.

They look nicer online than in person. Also I didn't see the writing in a different language until I received, and not crazy about that. They are hard to put on and they don't feel comfortable.

I bought these shoes expecting a teal blue color however they came in a green not even close to teal color. Very disappointed in the color display. Very misleading:( they also ran about a 1/2 to 1 size too big. Expected better

The shoes feel like a cheap knock off. The quality has gone down immensely since the last pair I bought. Would not recommend.

I love my Sailor Moon shoes! But I'm giving Vans 2 stars because the box was in horrible condition! I love to collect cute boxes specially when it's a special edition like this but Vans just took that from me. I'm very disappointed .

I have worn vans for several years now and love them but I just bought a new pair they used to be the most comfortable shoes but who puts leather inside a shoe it left blisters on the back of my heal also made it even harder to get on.
