Customer Reviews Vans Old Skool Platform

Sadly, I had a 40% off promo code but had to mail back because it was too small for my daughter.

My son absolutely loves these shoes. He is VERY particular on the way his shoes and clothes feel and these passed every test. So I splurged and spent the high price tag. But they fell apart in two places where the material is mesh-like. He still wears them but I find this unacceptable for expensive shoes. There is reinforcement (I assume for skateboarding) in certain areas of the shoes but it isn't enough for an active kid running around all the time. The mesh material is too thin and caused holes way too soon. I am really bummed because he loves them but I can't justify the cost when they only last a few months.

I always forget that vans runs too big. I use to buy them a lot and knew what size to buy. But then I remember one time I got a pair and they were too small. Now I get my normal exact size and it's a whole size to big. It's ridiculous they won't just be consistent. 6 inches cants just magically somehow be 7 in Inches.

love the shoes - I've ordered them multiple times. Unfortunately when I received this pair, they were 2 different sized shoes so I have to send back.

Shoe runs on the narrow side. Order up a size especially if you have wider feet Comfortable after wearing them except on the back upper heal

I have no complaints about the comfort and style of the Vans slips we know and love. But the color is so light that it was visibly dirty immediately.

These are great shoes, but the color is completely different than it appears online. I thought the top of the shoe was going to be white or maybe a very light gray but instead they are definitely a grayish Blue color. I'm going to keep them because I still like them, but was a little disappointed.

I bought both of my boys a pair of these shoes for the beginning of the school year. We have not even hit winter break and already both of my boys have holes in their shoes in multiple places. I anticipated these shoes to last longer than < 6 months since they are a bit more costly. My boys used them for only everyday wear.

I'm not sure what the material is on the top over the toes, but all my other Van's are canvas. These make a loud popping noise when they crinkle and flatten back out when you walk. It's really annoying and I'll make sure I never get this style again. For now, I just use them outdoors where it isn't as noticeable, it's really bad when indoors.

I love them they are super comfortable but if you need to wear them everyday for work and on your feet all day they don't last. Iv had them about 6 months and there's already a bunch of holes in them.

Loved the look of these. They run small and they are narrow.

I got them because my sister has a pair and practically wears hem every day. I'm usually a size 6 but I got a size 6.5 I'm glad I did because they are a bit narrow. I wore them for a couple hours around the house when I got them and then walked to school and back and had popped blisters. Haven't worn then since just waiting for my scabs to heal. And they say Birkenstocks are hard to break in!

I've never had an issue with a pair of vans for myself or my daughter. But after only 2 weeks of having these the van label on the back of the he is already coming off. To spend money on shoes I expected to get the same experience I've had every time which was great until this one. Not sure if it was this specific vans or if the quality is just not the same.

I've had these shoes for a couple weeks and they are very comfortable, but the stripe in the side has already started to fall off. I wouldn't recommend for every day use. I owned another pair of ultra range shoes that lasted a while, but this new version is already falling apart which is disappointing.

Ok so the first reviews I read, talk about how small they are. I order a 9.5. Way too big. Ordered a 9, still a smidge too largebut I wanted them for a specific outfit/date so I just suffered through the uncomfortable feeling. Should've stuck with my normal 8.5. The platforms are pretty solid and very hard, so I'd recommend getting some inserts if you like comfort and plan on standing for long periods of time. I want to like them:but because I was misled by these wonky reviews from people, and on a time crunch and being entirely too impatient, I'm not in love.

I had to return them because I bought a size too big because the reviews told me to. But I probably would have returned them anyway because there was a weird crease in the toe box and every time I took a step I could feel the crease rub on the top of my foot.

I love Vans' design, but the shoes are too narrow. Would love to be a customer, but the shoes simply don't fit me. Hope to see some wider options in the future.

So I have these in a kid size, but I got these sneakers in womans and the right shoe hurts my ankles I don't have a problem in the kid shoe, but the left side of the shoe is fine the fit is perfect I have room. I had my first pair for over two yrs and the fabric is still in tack I use them for casual wear. Overall I like them I just don't understand why my right shoe is making my ankle hurt

Cute style. The canvas is not user friendly. I bought them for vacaydidn't pack them because the material was so stiff.

Thought these were so cute, bought them for walking in New York. Once I tried them on, I knew instantly they wouldn't work. The back is hard and I knew they would rub.

I wear these for work and am on my feet a lot. They just aren't as comfortable as I had hoped. They are really cute and I wish I liked how they felt better!
