Customer Reviews Vans Skate Grosso Mid

Used to wearing half cabs. Saw these and purchased them..because they are cut wider in the toe box I felt a bit of discomfort wearing them...I purchased a 5 dollar gel insert and stuck them under the factory insole..since I've done that no problem or discomfort while wearing the shoes.

These shoes just ain't what they used to be. Seems quality has dropped a good bit. Great look. But they're very stiff. Had em for about a month and only won a few times due to lack of comfort.

Only downside is they're a little slim, still breaking them in though!

I was so stoked to get these, but was bummed to see that they runner smaller than the SK8 HI.

Good shoe and looks great!! I will say this is my second pair of the "skate" style shoes and the classic SK8 shoes without the added heft are preferred.

Bought the Skate Grosso mid because I love my SK8 Hi, but the redesigned toe cap and uppers are not nearly as comfortable. I was hoping it was just a break in issue, but after a couple weeks of wearing the Grosso's for a few hours each day, put back on the SK8 Hi and I don't think I'll ever try to wear the Grosso again. Stiffer, causing red spots and irritation. Also seems to be narrower, irritating the bone in the 6th toe area. I'm looking for a mid height, but looks like the SK8 Mid is only available in white on closeout. Does the Halfcab fit/feel like the SK8 Hi?

The Grosso mid is a wicked sneaker nice suede good shape but the new ultra cush 3D insoles are terrible they have a hard plastic shank i have the ultra cush insole and pop cush to compare too, if you do buy these swap out your insoles from your Half cabs and you will be happier. (GROSSO FOREVER)

Huge letdown. Great looking shoe, but where the toe, tongue, and eyestay meet is brutal on the top of your foot. I cant wear them and that sucks.

I've been wearing Vans most of my life for everyday wear / skateboarding. The black ones have some weird rubberized insides that blister your heels something fierce. Not sure if the other colorways are made of the same material but the black emo leather ones are no good in my opinion.

I was anxious to use the shoes but when I saw them, I noticed that the sole is different, deformed. The one shoe is different from the other, the one looks slightly bigger, the sole I don't like at all, it has an indentation, for walking I don't feel it comfortable. Disappointed with Vans.

They were described as redesigned with Pop Cush and newer sick stick sole. Nope same old ultra Cush as the original. Was never a fan of it. Had a pair I wore to work because they were never good in my opinion to skate. Was hoping for a classic mid ankle to actually skate.

Wearing Vans shoes 10.5 for 30 years. My old vans still fit, why don't new Vans fit? It's a guessing game when ordering Vans? Wasted Time & Money!

My FAVORITE shoe brand I've been wearing for over 40 years no longer fit? My old Vans, same size, still fit. Can't even get my foot in these shoes?

Bought these to keep having the sk8 mid that I love, but these edition is nothing like that. Shoe is heavier and stiffer and wider.. does not offer much confort wearing it

Worse fitting Vans to date! If I could return them after wearing one day I would. My feet were destroyed after a full day at work. Usually the Skate S8-high fit perfectly and have a great break in period. These really were bad. I would love to return them. I have over 30 pairs of Vans so I know what Im talking about.

I love the look of these shoes. I used to only wear Vans but decided to try Nikes for a while before coming back and hoping they had fixed one of the many issues that I had noticed. Within 24 hours the soles have started to split, which while not a critical failure it's very annoying and disheartening
