I had to reorder these as the first pair, which I ordered in my size, I could not get on my feet even with a shoehorn. I ordered them two sizes larger and I can get them on. I would say their sizes run very small. But they are gorgeous. I will see how they wear, as this is my first pair of Vans.

I just got these and they look amazing and have very nice fabric but I struggled getting them on since the laces were so tight. They will eventually break in though and are nice shoes overall

I really love the design on the shoes but the band inside of the shoes make them kind of tight.

Got these for lifting and they're pretty much perfect. Super cute and nice flat bottom. I'm just annoyed because I tried on some other vans in a store (since I'm a first time buyer) in the exact same style except for the suede and a 6.5 was perfect. Wish I'd listened to the other review here and sized down to a 6. I feel like I'm going to trip over the toes at some point because the shoe is just a bit too big. I've worn them now unfortunately and didn't feel like dealing with return shipping right around the holidays.

I ordered these for my son, who's almost 11 and is a skateboarder. He had the Old Skool in high top form before, and loved them but struggled to get them on and off because of all the laces. I figured these would still look good and be functional for skating but hoped he wouldn't need so much help tying his shoes every morning! It's been mostly successful, although these have an elastic band inside the tongue that also make them a little hard for him to get on, and he complained that they felt tight at first, but now that he's worn them in a little I think he's comfortable in them. Overall a good purchase; wish they were a little easier to loosen up for lazy kids!

The shoes are comfortable except for the seams. Seams rubs on a scar and is really uncomfortable for me.

These shoes are super cute but the red bleed all over the white shoe laces immediately. That part sucks. Be careful what you wear them under cuz they will probable bleed on that too.

Everything about them is pretty great, lots of compliments, but the leather with rub against your ankle so wear ankle high or long socks

I don't skate. I'm just a middle aged guy looking for a decent pair of black sneakers to dress up some jeans. Not the absolute most comfortable I've ever owned, but still pretty good and the best ones I was able to find on this round. Black laces would have been a little better than the white ones, but easily replaced. Wish there was also one of those slots on the tongue to run the laces through.

The shoes fit, but are as snug as a glove. I kept my original size, but think I should have also tried a size up. Shoes are comfortable.

These are comfortable from a "comfycush" perspective, but were a little tight on the size. Typically I wear a 10-1/2" US Men's (a good example would be the Adidas Sambas). These are about a quarter of a size smaller (like 10-1/4"), so they are a little tight. Also if you have a high arch, they are slightly tough to get into (can't just slip into them with the laces tied like some shoes). Definitely a cool look that can go with many outfits. Already been complimented on them at work. Glad I got them, but wish they were just slightly bigger inside.
I'd also recommend:
Adidas, Under Armour

Many athletic shoes that are sized for both men and women seem to be wide for my foot. I don't wear a narrow shoe but the laces have to be pulled so tight that it's obvious in the toe - "baggy" shoes. Otherwise great shoes. Wish I could keep them.

A stylie pair of kicks. I was expecting more cushion out of the box. They feel nearly as cushiony as regular Vans until you actually wear them. Once they are on your feet and you walk around a bit, you get it. They are cushiony, just don't expect them to be Hoka One One God level. I hope the cushion maintains it's durability because these shoes are good looking. I bought the black and green with yellow stripe version.

super cute pair of shoes to wear with my scrubs. The back of the shoe was too high so my achilles had chafing going on. Still have to break it in.

These shoes are a tweaked version of the old skool core classic. While they fit me in length, they were too tight on top of the shoe as the tongue is attached with a spandex-type band. They are a bit lighter than the original but also tighter. Not sure if this would be different with a bigger size.

Love the comfycush feel but colors fade without washing shoes, cheap material? cheap coloring? disappointed have to buy shoes just because they start looking old, lame.

I really loved the pattern on this pair. The width is not that different from the classic Old Skool Vans, but the height on top of the big toe is smaller. It was fine for walking, but I danced in them for a few hours one night, and my big toe nails have been purple for two months since. I iced them, but it didn't help other than the pain. This never happened before with any pair of shoes I've had.
