Customer Reviews Vans Skate SK8-Hi®

This is my first pair of SK8-HI (usually I get the Old Skool's or the slip on's). I love these, and they are super comfortable, but they one-drawback is the lack of a pull loop on the heel to make it easier to get them on.

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.

Nice design shoe I have very wide feet so when I get shoes I usually have to get wide feet my shoe size is usually 10 or 10-1/2 wide shoes but regular shoes 11 or 11-1/2 to fit my wide feet comfortably I ordered online because unavailable in any of my local vans stores I have last years slip on 11-1/2 pride vans fit comfortably wore to nyc pride 2022 but flat and uncomfortable after hours so I thought 11-1/2 it would fit perfectly but runs very small are narrow hard to get on my feet I would have gotten blisters had to exchange for a bigger size luckily my local vans store had a size 12 available they put it on hold I went and tried them on still too small I asked to try the size 13 since they had it available they fit a little better my pinky toes have a little more room but all my toes are nowhere near the front where your supposed to feel toes we will see how comfortable they are when I go to nyc pride this year walking for hours vans please make wide shoes for your customers.

I use these for work! Snow, rain, mud you name it beat them on the deliveries every day only downfall is the 6 month lifespan these shoes have

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.

So the shoes are really cute the only problem I have is the fact the inside of the shoe , the stitching is scratching the surface of my foot.

I love vans! Shoes definitely don't disappoint! They are really comfy and soft on the inside!

Just bought my first pair of Vans at the age of 44 and will definitely be buying another pair very soon!

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

Christmas gift

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

I bought these about a year ago and certainly enjoy wearing them, but about a few weeks after I bought them a small rip appeared in the back and has grown since. They're super comfy the rip is my only gripe.

I love my Sk8-HIs but did not consider the lack of ease putting them on and taking them off would be. It's work! But worth the effort.

This is my second pair of high tops and I absolutely love them. My only discretion is that the tongue is held down by two straps inside the shoe, making it hard to put the shoe on and off. It makes the opening tighter for your foot to enter. Once the shoe is on however, you don't feel or notice a difference. Hoping they loosen up over time and slip on and off like my other high tops. Would recommend for sure- super sporty. Love them!!

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

Love the color, fit a little tighter then usual but still ok.

Super comfortable, and love the look of the shoe especially the marshmallow color.

I've been buying black vans for years. This pair is definitely the most solid (along with my high top pro's.) Forking out an extra $15 for quality build is totally worth it for durability. The only con is that they're incredibly difficult to get on and off.

These are really comfortable and stylish shoes! I love being able to wear vans again and have some arch support. The only thing I'll say is it takes atleast a week to break them in to where they're comfortable for you. I had to take them off after wearing them for half a day the first day after that there was just a little more break in period before they were super comfortable to wear. I can wear them now for my entire 8+ hour shifts working at a preschool.

Great looking shoes. Son really likes, oddly enough they are very difficult to put on. Laces have to be extremely loose and require a shoe horn. Over all comfortable.

I like the suede the color is unique

The shoe itself is very thick so it's tricky for me to skate with them sometimes. They are also kinda uncomfortable if worn for the whole day.

These ones seem to run a little snug. I'm hoping I just need to break them in since I got them for work and I'm on my feet all day. All my others fit like a glove. We shall see.
