Customer Reviews Vans Skate SK8-Hi®

I'm not sure what happened with the new vans skate slip on. Seems like they changed factories. Not cushy or as comfortable as they used to be. Colors have changed from black to white on the inside and a couple other areas. Sole is different rubber has changed as well.

I haven't owned a pair of Van's since I was in my early teens. So when I got the chance to buy a pair since my converse had a blow out I was excited. My old skool Van's came in and I tried them. The top of my feet hurt so bad I know its because the shoes are very brand new and need to be broken in. I even bought my correct size so I know that's not the issue. I think when making the shoes at the factory they should keep in mind the people with fatter feet would like to feet into the shoes as well without the top of their feet hurting at the end of the day when trying to break in the shoes. If that changes I would leave a more positive review but for now this is my review. Amazing shoes just think of us people with fat feet. That's my small request.

The shoe looks great, but it has really high arch support. I tried breaking them in and still had pain after four weeks of skating. I switched out my sole from an older shoe that was flatter to this shoe which fixed the problem. however, if you're willing to possibly switch insoles with another shoe, the shoe skates great.

The shoes are great, however I was trying to buy them with the $25 off when I spend $75 and due to some technical issue I was never able to get my $25 off. Very disappointed I was stuck buying a lot of shoes at full price and didn't get any money off. Not sure it's a scam I tried multiple times until the shoes are disappearing and I had to buy them or not get them at all.

Normally wear the reg sk8-hi, paid the extra for these and the tan sole split apart from the shoe. Going with another brand from here on.

I wear old skools and the slips on daily, Not sure what the difference is but these rub the back of my heels no matter what socks I wear.

wore this shoe once and the back heel hurts so bad. By the end of the day, my heel had a calluss. First time owning and wearing vans shoe, probably won't buy another unless someone responds and tells me a comfty shoe that vans makes.

I've always bought the Sk8 Hi pro's and they have always been great on my feet right out of the box. These are honestly the most uncomfortable pair of vans I have ever owned. There is some sort of tongue support that rubs in weird places and makes it harder to slip on the shoe. They look great and seam durable (not as durable as the old pro's though). I won't buy these again.

I am a huge Vans Head. I wear the brand everyday. But these these are trash. The shoe is so stiff and has murdered my poor heels. Walking less than a mile in them the plastic heel and leather inside is a bad combo especially for a shoe that is unable to adjust. Big miss for me.

The shoe looks fine. But after a few Ollie's it wears and holes start to form. Not worth the price. Get DC shoes if you want durability.

I have worn 10.5 Vans slip ins for a decade. Literally dozens of pairs. These feel like 9s. So tight they are unwearable

I had high hopes for these shoes and loved them initially. However, they dig into the back part of your heals and rub against them as you walk, making it very uncomfortable. After 2 hours of wearing them, i had noticeable pain. After a full days use of +8 hours, i had bleeding ankles. 3 weeks later of wearing bandaids on the back of my heals to break them in, it is still the same deal. I had to soften the top part of the heals with some pliers by flattening it out and bending it backwards. Some of the stitching ripped in the process.

I wish there was a tan version, with a gum sole.

Been wearing Slip-on Pros for years. The tongue on these is tighter than a toddler size. Please bring back: Original materials and Ultra Cush Insoles

Shoes are not consistent in sizing.

Wouldn't buy again, they give me blisters. Terrible shoe I have always gotten van shoes never has this happened before, waste of money.

Would give a 1 star but I do love how they look. They are extremely tough to put on and hurt when wearing them. If you have a wide foot, I would probably stay away from these. Don't know if they are really worth the price nor time to break in.

For SKATEBOARDING I rate them 3/5. 1. They do look stylish 2. Okay for cruising around 3. Uncomfortable for hard skating For BASKETBALL I rate them 1/5 1. Very uncomfortable 2. Made my toes bleed It's understandable because they are made for skateboarding, however they are not very comfortable on my feet in general. It's bearable though. Overall 2/5

I've been wearing Vans for 30 years for causal wear and skating. These are horrible! Heavy, uncomfortable and don't breath well.

When I received the product Friday, Dec. 30th, 2022. I proceeded to give them to my associate. But they were too small. It had shown on the website to be 6 - in men's and to be 7/5 in women's but they aren't. So, I am very displeased with the sizing on the website.

I am very happy with the shoes. But I am kind of unhappy about the fact that it took over three weeks to get the shoes that I ordered off the website. My wife ordered some shoes from the vans website and received them over a week before I received mine. I called after she received hers first, and asked where mine might be, and basically was told it's gonna take a little while because you ordered them during a sales event. Didn't seem like a good answer to me! But I will say I love the shoes been wearing vans for 30+ years now.

These ripped up my heels like no other vans I've ever worn. The back crests higher than usual slip-ons, and mine have a hard lump at the top of that seam. These may be defective.

Not very comfortable at all wore for a day and already ripping up the back of my ankle

Im loving Vans, this is my 4th in less than a month. I bought these on sale but c'mon now, why this poor stitching?

Got my shoes and the print on the left shoe was waaay crooked and i wasn't wearing them like that. Now i gotta wait for another week for all the mailing back n forth to wear my shoes, not a great experience after wearing Vans for yrs n yrs
