Customer Reviews Vans Old Skool Platform

I have had 3 pairs of this shoes and 2 pairs fell apart in the same spot after a few months of light wear. The third pair was a replacement which was defective out of the box. Vans offered to replace the defective pair they sent but I would have to package and ship them, then wait for the return to process before I would be able to get a replacement. The process is cumbersome and I am tired of the poor quality. I will cut my losses and move on to another brand. I don't want to risk getting defective pair #4! If you decide to buy this shoe, I wish you luck!

These shoes fit so well and are incredibly comfortable, but after just over 60 days of owning them and not even wearing them every day, they have started falling apart. The soles are separating, the color is peeling off of the soles, and I am absolutely bummed because I wanted to love these shoes!

There is a seem right in the middle of the heel cuff. So even though the shoe fits well and my heel doesn't slip, there is some irritation when walking, even when wearing a thicker sock. The tongue also has an odd square cushion in the middle of it. Honestly the whole shoe seems oddly designed. I returned to the UltraRange line because I loved having a vans fit with a more walk friendly shape in the past, but these definitely fell below my expectations. These shoes aren't worth it, even on sale!

I bought these for my 13 yo son. I bought the first pair right before school started and they separated from the sole before 60 days so I sent them back. Ordered them again and both shoes are wearing a hole in the fabric. Not durable.

Used for walking. Kind of a sloppy soft feeling that leaves my feet tired. Too thin.

Bulky fit and had mud specks on them and hen I received them. Return process was like pulling teeth

They run a half size too big. Which is a surprise. And the side wall glue is already separating. Another surprise. I love Vans but these are not up to their usual high standards.

I work in retail on my feet 8 hours a day the shoes are very comfortable but started to come unglued after using about 10x.

I used these for working I'm in the retail industry so I'm on my feet all day they are comfortable but the shoes came unglued after using about 10x it maybe a manufacturing defect .

Totally kills your feet! Couldn't return bcuz i wore them! I am so bummed bcuz I have purchased 3 times before. So sad!!

I was super excited to receive these only to find that they are not the color that was pictured online. They are mauve, not tan.

I ordered half a size down since other comments suggested that. Too big and had to return. Ordered another half size down and still huge.

buy half size or even one size down these guys are huge

I ordered 2 pairs. The first was TINY. The second came stained. Unable to return or exchange because I purchased with apple pay.

I ordered my usual size in Vans Old Skools, but these were too big. I returned and reordered in a half size down, but they were still too big. I now cannot return and re-purchase even smaller because I got them on sale for Black Friday. My suggestion if you buy is to get a FULL size down, not a half.

Shoes are much lighter in the pictures posted online. In person they are almost a purple color.

I didn't realize these shoes would be plastic and elastic. Terrible example of Vans shoes

This is the 2nd time I have ordered from this company and both times I've had to return the items and it seems like I wait forever for my refund...
