Customer Reviews Vans Sk8-Hi Tapered

These are a little big--but only in the very front. The material and color are great. They look good.:)

Happy with my selection

These are a little big (in the front), but I think a size down would be too snug. I wear this size in Vans (old school) and have had them be either a little too big or some are perfect. Material's good--like the color.

I ordered these in two sizes because I tend to go between a 6.5 and a 7 in Vans. The 6.5 probably would have worked but I decided the 7 fit better. I am usually a 7 in other brands. However, I sent back both sizes because on the size 7, one of the soles had a weird dent/smooshed part that made the toe kind of stick out. I could see it sticking out when I was wearing the shoes and looking down. It was weird.

The tongue is stiff. Still deciding if I'm going to keep them.

Bought for my 12yr old niece size 7.5. They fit her well and are so cute with shorts jeans and even her school uniform skirt. They are def a bit narrow if u have a really wide feet I say half size up.She loooves the denim style of the shoe. Great buy.

I wanted to love these shoes sooo badly! I’m a Converse hi-top fan, and these white with rainbow foxing Vans are JUST my style! I was looking for white shoes, and a pop of color is a perfect detail! I ordered a 9 (my normal size) and an 8.5, the 8.5 fit better. Unfortunately there’s something off with the heel fit on both the 8.5 and 9. The 9 had too much room in the toes AND felt like my heel was too big for the heel of the shoe. Almost like there’s a slight ramp/wedge on the back, cutting inward toward the bottom of the heel. I’ve never experienced this before on any other shoe; ever. It’s almost like the shoe doesn’t acknowledge that the heel sticks out farther than the achilles/ankle on most people. To get the shoes to feel normal (either size) I have to shove my feet as far forward on the sole as possible (away from ramp). Both the 8.5 and 9, the 9 just has too much extra toe space for me, even after shoving my foot forward. I’m not sure if this is a Vans thing? A break-in thing? Do they stretch at all? They feel perfect with my foot pushed forward in the shoe (and a significant gap at the back ankle), but if my foot slips backward (which it does as I walk), the heel “ramp”/“cramped” feeling is back. I want these shoes so bad. :( I’m heartbroken. I’m going to wear them around the living room some to see if I can find a way to make them work, but it doesn’t seem likely.

For some reason, it's oddly challenging to get a foot into the shoe. Once in, they're great.
