They were cute but definitely were larger than my normal size. A little wider than that same size in my other vans.

Very nice,stylish shoe. Not very durabale because the fabric seems kind of thin. My feet hurt after wearing them for a few hours mainly because the sole of the shoe is very flat with no support.
i'd give it a 2 1/2 stars out of 5. if the they were more comfortable i'd give it a 4.

I've been wearing this shoe, in mens 7 ladies 8.5 for years. This time they were too small. I don't know if they changed manufacturers or what, but i guess i'm going to size up and see if that works.

Vans has really gone downhill in recent years. At least this model. The product came with a few frayed stitches. Additionally, the black suede on the toebox/lacing area bleeds a lot. This is not a good combo with white laces. In less than a day, the white laces turned blue-ish grey-ish from the suede dye. If you're looking for a pair of high-top canvas shoes, go with Chuck Taylors instead.

These shoes are great for wearing around for style, but if you want to skate in them, that is a different story. I skated in these Vans for two weeks and the bottom had gone to my sock. They are good for style but not good for skating.

I love the style and look of these but they are so shoddily made. The photo makes them look a lot more comfortable and well-made then in reality. No arch support at all and not worth the price, they remind me of the cheap Airwalks at Payless.

Cute Shoe -
My 10 year old son had to have these shoes and after wearing them on a short walk he refused to put them on again. The high top hits above your ankle and is very stiff. The footbed is very flat with no arch support.
Zappos has been so wonderful about returning shoes, but I did not want to bother them again.
If you want to make a fashion statement , they are,"cute!" I even borrowed them just to go out to an event.

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.

The red dye on the shoe turns the laces pink, making the shoe ugly. This happened on the first wear. The red dye gets on everything

This is the third pair of shoes that are not sized right that I have bought. I have always been an 8 in woman's and these are atleast 2 sizes to big even though they say size 8.

I ordered these because I was looking for new gym shoes to lift in and these were on sale. I was sent a men’s 14 when I ordered a women’s 12/mens 10.5. If the shoe size was out of order I should’ve been notified and sent a refund immediately so I could just wait for my size to be available.
I wrote a review for this item, giving it a one star on Thursday November 2nd 2023 when my shoes arrived but mysteriously after reaching out to customer service my review is gone.

I order an 8.5 men’s, but it was a 7 in men’s and 8.5 in woman’s, that makes no sense as woman's shoes are smaller than men’s, typically. Secondly, these are far from navy. Blue yes, which is obvious, but the darker color is black, not navy.

Been wearing Vans for about 20 years now, and never had a pair split open after only a month of use. Customer service was ZERO help. Do not recommend.

The design is awesome, the sale price even better, but I should know by how that if the shoe is on sale, there's something wrong with it. I couldn't even get my foot IN the shoe to try it on! What's going on with the consistency VANS?
