Customer Reviews Vans Skate SK8-Hi®

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

I've worn vans all my life but these missed the mark. I recently started using an electric skateboard and got these for the ankle support for a linger trip but they are so uncomfortable. There is an extra pice of canvas that runs on the outer foot area that puts pressure on your foot. My toes are numb in 10 minutes. I thought it was the elastic that holds the tongue so a cut that to relieve the pressure so I won't be able to return them. Tried to break them in more but it was useless. This is extremely disappointing.

These pair for some reason cut into the back of my feet and I got a size up on purpose.

The gum soles on the black ones with the white stripe are not really tan colored like in the Vans web site picture. In person, the gum soles look more translucent and with brownish tan tint. The personal picture I'm uploading is also misleading about the color of the gum soles on these. I like the gum soles on another pair of Vans I have better. It looks more the color like in the Vans web site picture online. I'm in dire need of shoes, so I may have to choose these shoes, even though I'm disappointed with them. I also don't like the checkered flag below the stripe. It complicates the look of the shoe. I also didn't like the width of the shoe and would prefer a more narrow fit, but I often have this problem with shoes. I wear a size 11 in women's, but don't have a very wide foot.

Purchased for my teenage son. He loved the appearance (black with gum rubber sole) and skate style of the shoe, but hated that they weren't comfortable on his feet and actually hurt to wear them. We are in the process of sending them back. He loves Vans, and was stoked for a new pair but these were unfortunately a huge disappointment.

I love the look of these shoes. And I wish they would fit :( But they are definitely WAY too tight. They are NOT like the classic slip-ons. I even got a size bigger and they were just too tight and uncomfortable. Definitely will have to return these.

Very comfortable, nice fit, great impact support, good grip nice look, hole formed after 10 minutes of skateboarding. These are great shoes for every day use but why they chose to go with canvas right where skateboarders ollie is beyond me. I wish I could have gotten the Old skool pros that used suede and everyone seemed to love on reddit.

Hello, I'm a disabled 29 year old women who wears between a L-XL in clothing and my shoe size is 9 in woman's. I want to start off by saying that I was so excited for these shoes to drop! I think this is a cute design and the quality of the material is really good, but I will say I don't think this specific design is a good fit for anyone who isn't slim. I really only ordered these shoes to begin with because the Sailor Moon black comic Vans I originally ordered got canceled 5 times. I wanted a slip on shoe anyway so I figured why not these, and it made sense to think this was going to be an easy, cute slip on shoe. Unfortunately that wasn't my case. I really liked the design of these shoes on the website but now having them in person and trying them on, for me at least, personally, the tilted patches bother me. I'm rating these a two because I want to love these shoes so bad, but unfortunately I'm stuck with them because as I mentioned before I'm disabled and unable return them to store in my current condition. I require a special tool to help me reach and put on my all my shoes. Usually with all my vans putting them on is not a problem at all when using my special tool, and my foot usually just slips right in to a size 9 Vans. I ended up ordering a size up to a 9.5 (because the 9 was sold out and my order got canceled) and thankfully I did!! Due to sizing up, I was able to fit in the shoes. But because the fabric so tight all around it was so hard putting them on even when using my tool. The worst part of all is they honestly it feels like they are suffocating my poor feet that after that whole struggle of trying to get them on (with no socks since I was just trying them on with pantyhose) all you want to do I rip them off and I couldn't even try walking anywhere with them. I honestly have never tried slip on Vans before but I'm definitely never buying them again. That's not to say I didn't like the shoes, or the quality, but if I could I would honestly return them. I love Vans and I wear them all the time but I'm definitely going to stick to the lace up shoes. This just felt like a waste of money since this are so uncomfortable.

The black shine on the sides of the shoe crack and peel won't last longer than 2 days being shinny like they were when bought

Too tight and narrow to fit a man with a size 13 foot

Always wear a size 10 mens slip on and these were way too small

I did end up returning, as the other reviews are correct. If you are not going to wear crew socks with these, they will rub. I had them on all of 3 minutes and my heel was red. Bummer because I really wanted to keep these, loved the design.

Had to return not wide enough

I have been trying to get a pair of large checks for long time and these hit the mark n looks perfectly. Unfortunately something is off on dimensions as back of ankle instantly started rubbing against me and both feet have blisters where shoes rubs. It's not shoes size bc I do have 10 pairs at 10.5 and all fit. It is just too tight around ankle I feel. I wear no-see docks from vans. So bummed

I've never had a problem with the pros, I wanted to give these new slip-on shoes a try, I had to size up because it wasn't the same sizing as the pros and I can definitely say it's a tight fit, I like how it's more durable but not at the expense of comfort and pain, I love vans slip ons so I hope they try new things out and not settle for the formula they have currently.

Like many others, I have found these shoes to be unwearable due to bad fit and terrible blister-causing heel rub. I've worn Vans for more than 30 years. My shoe size hasn't changed in decades. So why can't I count on the fact that these would fit the same as Classics? They're tight all around even with thin socks, and the heel rub is brutal. Maybe it's the "Internal heel stiffeners" you guys added, I dunno. I love the improved durability features, look, styling, and the popcush concept. I really wanted these shoes to work. But so far they're just $$ down the drain.

Very firm shoe, the heel is very tough and the shoe overall just hurts to wear. After two days of skating in them I just cant wear them anymore because my feet have blisters from the shoes, I even went a size up.
