Customer Reviews Vans SK8-Hi

These are cool looking shoes but the quality was very bad. I bought them from the mall and they didn't even last me longer than a month before stitching came out and frayed

For some reason now the INSIDE of the shoe is all pleather? Added decorative stitching to the top for some reason? Didn't need to change a perfect shoe. It also feels a little flimsier.

Very pleased with how the Pig Suede Sk8-His look in the pomegranate color. HOWEVER, the color bleeds easily, and the white laces are turning pink after only two wears. There is even a bit of pink smudges on the rubber sides. Not sure how to fix this. I'm hoping the shoes will stop bleeding after a few wears and I can just get new laces. I would not recommend getting the pig suede pomegranate color because the color bleeding is so bad, which is too bad because I love the shoes aside from thisthey are very stylish and comfortable.

They look cute but if you have wide feet like me they won't fit right. I even went up a size and they still fit too narrow.

It changes a bit in different lighting. In daylight, mine was more maroon/purple-ish. In house lighting it was more straight maroon like TX A&M. From the photo I was hoping more deep red-ish color. Also, suede heal cap on one shoe was well off center - mgft problem. The band around the base is a nice cream color though.

I love Vans! This shoe was very poorly made. It was coming apart at the top away from the sole and I had a hole within the first month of having them. I work in an office so no major use out of them. I have other vans so it must have just been this shoe. Would not recommend. Would have given 1 star but I love Vans too much!

I've owned pairs of these for all my life. Last pair I got were absolutely awful. Quality has gone down an insane amount. Really bums me out were my favorites for a while

Not the same quality vans anymore at all. Cheap built. Looks like I could glue things down already straight out of the box. They will hurt your feet.

They are very tight in the tongue, even with the laces spread out as much as they will allow, and much more than previous hi top styles. This is only amplified by the massive new heel raising cushion insole. If you take out those insoles, you are greeted with some loose side stitching TAPED to the bottom of the inside area.

I've purchased about 20 pairs of Vans in the last 12 months and have not had a single issue until receiving these red ones. The red dye on the suede is bleeding EVERYWHERE, on my pants, on my socks, on the white shoe laces and the white leather. I just went and read through the reviews (which I did not before ordering) and see this has been an issue for over a year. What's up Vans?? Why is this still a wide spread issue? For the first time ever, i've very disappointed in the quality of my Vans. I highly do not recommend purchasing their dyed suede shoes until they fix their quality issue.

The shoes feel incredibly cheap. The "suede" feels like sandpaper. Overall, they don't feel as durable as they previously were.

Unfortunately I'm extremely disappointed this time around. First I got sent the wrong size and had to return them. Which was pretty smooth and easy, except it has been 3 weeks no since you all have received my return and I still have not received a refund. I have purchased and received the right size shoes and a separate pair of shoes in that time frame and tried to contact you all several times with no response. I absolutely love all of my shoe's I have ordered but this whole experience has been very disappointing and I really hope to see a refund soon.

Thanks for NOT posting my honest review about not offering a full canvas vegan sk8 hi in the standard black/white and gray/white colors. I appreciate it.

These would be great in an ALL canvas, even down to the fox stripe and NO animal products (no suede). The so called canvas ones offered are a sad excuse being completely white or completely black AND BOTH LINED ON THE INSIDE WITH LEATHER!!!! I've been requesting a vegan version of a hi sk8 for no less than 2 years and it continues to fall on deaf ears. Vans simply refuses to do this and in regular black/white and dark gray/white hi sk8. Doesn't have to be special bmx or anything, nothing fancy. Just common sense sales of a regular on the roster completely canvas/cloth shoe for its vegan CA native clientele. They are a southern CA company after all.
