These are plastic, so if you’re hoping to get them to mold around your foot, you’re out of luck. Even my heavy duty shoe stretcher couldn’t stretch them out to accommodate a bunion on my left foot. Cute, but undeniably plastic. Disappointing.

I love the look of these shoes and have been a vans wearer for 20+ years thought they would be a cute sporty option. The heel design comes up too high and is hard and rubs your skin off in under five minutes. I have tried to justify keeping but I saw similar complaints and wanted to try. Will return sadly

I've had multiple Ultrarange shoes, but decided to go up a notch with these. The soles are really comfortable and the width of it is perfect, but the top of the heel part rubs my heels raw. I usually like to were Van's no show or low no show socks with my tennis shoes. I'll have to see what I can do with these.

I bought these in the white. The paper liner in the shoe box had yellowed and stained the shoes and laces a tint of yellow. I sent them back hoping another pair won't have this problem. I have other pairs in this line and they are usually super comfy but they fall apart quick. Vans quality control the last few years has been total garbage. I've had new shoes fall apart within months of having them, bought ridiculously uncomfortable shoes that are the same size as other Vans I wear. Now the come stained in the box. Just a bummer with Vans lately. Not sure why I keep buying more.

This would be a perfect and gloriously comfortable shoe... except the uppers (made of some kind of flexible synthetic) sound like I'm snapping a bath towel with each step. I could also kind of feel it hitting my foot when this happens. I had been looking for a supplemental pair to switch with my suede Ultras and got excited when I saw the Gulf Coast colorway, so I'm pretty bummed.
Bottom line: Too noisy for me, but maybe it gets better once they're broken in? If you don't mind the snapping, this is still one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn.

I normally only wear Asic gels but fell in love with the high top suede ultrarange exo and then the low tops. I wanted a plain white sneaker to wear with dresses and took advantage of the $25 off, but once it arrive, I noticed it was a totally different material and wide. I ordered 2 different sizes down in 2 different colors at full price to decide the perfect color and fit for me but am still having trouble so I'll need to take all 3 to a Vans store and let them help me choose the correct size and return the other 2. Hopefully the store will have the color and size I need to keep.

Instantly not comfortable. It's weird the just the width and the part on top of my foot feels small. In length they are fine. I think I'm going to stretch them out because I'm not sure if I can exchange them online. I'm always a size 8, I bought a size 8. I weigh 125lb and don't have an abnormally wide foot. I would love an 8.5 but I'm not sure if that'll happen with the exchange policy.

Loved the shoe at first. Looked great and lots of compliments. Wore to work, some walking but no strenuous activity. After 6 months feet started to hurt, the mesh near the toe box ripped and the sole started to come apart. Not the quality I have come to expect from Vans.

I would give these 5 stars but I've had them about 2 weeks and today the back pull tab ripped right off when putting them on. Still comfy tho.

I bought these online, I loved the look of them but once I started wearing them the back of the shoe starts to rub and they became super uncomfortable.

These are super cute but are a very snug fit.
I normally wear a size 8 so I ordered a size 8 and they are so tight that I can't even wiggle my toes a little bit. Don't have a choice but to return them and based off the toe room, I don't think sizing up would even matter.

Just not as tough as I expect a pair of Vans to be. The first, and very early wear came along the back sole. The sole material is so soft that foot-on-foot friction from walking sort of chewed up the material along the back. Recently-- though after a year of almost daily wear-- a seem on top where 2 materials meet ripped out.
Elsewhere and really much of the shoe, the materials are wearing really great and cleanup easily. Shame these few spots aren't holding up.
These are incredibly comfortable, so perhaps the softer sole is a tradeoff.

The shoes are comfortable but the right one squeaks with each step so I sent them back. Not sure why this is but perhaps you can address this if there have been some previous issues similar to mine.

Unfortunately didn't have much luck with these after a bit - I'm in love with the design of it all. They're the perfect every day shoe but after my second child - I now need them in wide.
Your wide options are few and far between and I (along with others I'm sure!) would love this shoe in a wide fit.

The is just not my style. The material is stiff. Certainly not for a long walk. I end up returning it.

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.

These shoes would be ok if I had "normal" feet. Too narrow for a bunion and with my full-length insert in them (I had planned on working out in these) I could barely get my feet in them. A half-length insert might be ok but toe box is just too narrow for my special needs foot.

I have been wearing the EXOs for 2 weeks and the outsole is already separating from the toe box/vamp. Wish they were built better.

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 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 love this show, especially excited about the red (port) color I bought. However, I purchased a size up based on the reviews. Way too big because it's a wide shoe. Now they are not listed on the site so I can't see if smaller size is availing exchange. Lesson learned to not always read reviews.
