Customer Reviews Vans Skate Old Skool™

Love everything about this shoe but It does give me blisters on my Achilles

These are incredibly good skate shoes that are very comfortable. However the fit is a bit small so I would go up half a size. The back of the sole is so soft and the front is great for board feel since there's less cushion.

Like the cushion. Has a sqeak sometimes in toe

Best sk8 hi I've ever skated. Feels tough on the outside, has some kind of heel shank. Arch protect ok from all sides. Supportive insole but flattens.

They are very unique. The neon on them are amazing. Would have been better with neon laces. They are extremely uncomfortable though. :,(

Nice shoe, but definitely needs more padding around the Achilles tendon or less angle towards it.

LOVE the fit of these shoes. Frankly, I got them specifically because the original insoles are thick and easy to remove, which made them perfect for my Rx orthotics. Most of my older shoes didn't leave enough vertical space for my foot, so I love that I can wear a classic fun style and not feel like a senior citizen relegated to the world's ugliest shoes just because I have comically flat feet (for reference, I am 27 years old). BUT BEWARE THE PORT/WHITE COLORWAY it looks good at first, but the fabric of the shoe's body dyed my white shoe laces and the white Vans "wave" pink after about a week of wearing them. It's a shame, because they're otherwise pretty perfect. Knocked off one star for this issue, but I also have the gray/black/gum colorway which is problem-free. Bleeding might be exclusive to the maroon/port color.

Its awesome that I never have to try them on, if its 8.5 size I know that they'll fit perfectly no matter the model

Love them. Unless I missed it, you should note that the shoes come with an extra pair of black laces. I ordered extra laces but did not need to.

I love Vans, always buy a new pair when my old ones wear out, but these absolutely tore up the back of my heels. Everything else about them is great, they fit well, are comfortable, stylish, but they just ate the back of my heels.

Luckily for me I order half a size up, I'm size 10 and the fit was overly snug. My feet ache at the beginning. They took their time to break in.

I am a big Vans fan and really like the slip on style shoes. As I get older, I am really appreciating the support and flexibility of adding my own insert with the new Skate style vans. I own several skate products in the Authentic and Old Skool style and they are amazing, however the slip on style just didn't work for me. I typically wear a 12 in the slip on, but they were just too tight in the skate style. They were very difficult to get on and once they were on, they were uncomfortable in the toe. It was pressing on the top and sides and pressed in to the top of my toe when stepping. I tried a 13 as well and they were just too loose. I think a 12.5 would work, but they dont offer that size. So unfortunately, the skate slip on just isn't for me.

They look awesome and they're great skate shoes. It does take some time to break them in but besides that they're pretty good.

The Breana Geering shoe is much nicer in person than is shown on the website. The stitched in snake gives it a bit of a 3D look which is really cool. I was only a little disappointed when one of the blue eyestays ended up being damaged already out of box. The shoe is fairly comfortable otherwise and I think it looks even nicer with the blue laces it comes with than the black it's advertised with.

New favorite sneakers, well made and love the all black look. Would be nice if the soles were a more interesting color and non suede leather.

I ended up returning them because they were at least 1/2 size smaller than normal. I couldn't even get them on my feet to try on. But they were well made, and looked comfortable! I would recommend them.

I loved the color of this shoe and the style. But I will say that they run small. I ordered my size and struggled to even get it on let alone wear it for a day.

The shoes were great, made wll, looked comfortable, exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately, I had to return them because they were at least 1/2 size too small. I coudn't even get my foot inside it.

Product is good BUT your return policy could be better.. I wanted to exchange shoes,same style because they were tight I ordered a size 12 and wanted to exchange for a 13 my first order I was able to use a coupon for 20% off and when I needed to exchange I was not able to use the 20% promotion and had to pay full price

My daughter purchased a pair of vans a couple years ago in size 10, so I ordered her a new pair for Christmas in size 10, but they are too small

. The only problem is the stitching on the inside before the lace wasn't glued down so it rubs against the top of my foot.

Very nice looking shoes. My grandson loved them. I had to order a larger size and will be returning these.

Way to go Vans! Durable materials artsy colors but not overboard. Details are extra nice.... checkerboard in the inside heal cup, colorful soles, orange top eyelets and Pop Cush footbed. Skateable and very wearable for everyday
