Have probably 20 pair of Vans. This one has an elastic strap connected to the tongue. It’s rolls when putting your foot in shoe creating a very uncomfortable crease inside you cannot reach to fix, and places a TON of unnecessary pressure across your foot. Artificially makes it feel tight. My left foot feels like it’s falling asleep after 2 minutes.
Vans - PLEASE do not ruin other shoes with this design!!

These new Vans are terrible. The new tongue latch stuff is pure awful. It grips your foot in the wrong place. This causes the socks to be pulled into the shoe, because it is gripping on the mid of the foot rather than the heel. Each step drags on the heel.
I've worn Vans for some 20 years. These are awful. Why they cannot just add the replaceable insole and not this tongue tie garbage, I do not know.
Plus most of the holes in the suede part were not punched all the way through. So, one needs to jam the laces through multiple times from both sides to create a hole.
I loved Vans for decades, but I need better insoles these days. New insoles for Vans, yay. Destroying everything else that made Vans good, bleah. I'm not sure if these are made in the same place the old ones were made, but these news ones are garbage. Those springy parts hanging on the tongue are one of the worst ideas in shoe design.

I love vans, but they changed the design and i hate them. The leather around the ankle colar doesnt allow the shoe to breathe, the tounge is too tight too

So these are great for skating and just bumming around town. My only gripe is I have to loosen my laces a LOT to get them on.

. 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.

I've worn these less than ten times and the stitching is coming apart.

I am in my 40s. Healthy and active. As a teen I got in to metal, then guitar, and noticed a lot of great guitarist in that genre rocked vans sk8-hi. Wanted them but I never bought any due to no money. Here we are over 20 years later and I finally realized "oh I can just buy them". It's like drooling over a car as a kid, becoming an adult and being able to get your dream car. These shoes felt exactly like I wanted them to feel, and I will likely own a pair for the rest of my life.

My Headline gives away my age (haha) - but really these stylish shoes are very comfortable and give me an amazing ankle support that I was pleasantly surprised to feel!

They were a gift for my husband. We tried them on in store a while ago and I finally pulled the trigger. He wears them everywhere. Loves them. Definitely a good purchase. Timeless! #sweepstakes

This shoe, in this exact style is what made me fall in love with vans and since then I've been a true vans junkie lol. But no other pair has compared to these. They're so comfortable and I love the red logo on the back .

These Skate Sk8's are as close to the original kicks I wore almost 25 years ago. They're a great fit, they look great and they feel great in the early break in process. I'm very pleased and excited to wear them. It reminds me of the old school days when I rocked these as a kid!

Same old school sk8-his but with thicker durable soles and the insoles provide some needed arch support. Wish the inside was lined with leather.

So stoked that vans made these! The removable insoles are amazing. Having the option to put my orthopedic insoles rules!

These shoes are great! I wore them to skate and just to wear, and they stayed in good condition till I grew out of them. The box they came in was also sick,10/10
