Customer Reviews Vans Sentry Old Skool WC

I love the pattern, can go with almost anything without looking too out of place. (For me) I like the collar padding but wish the insoles were cush. If these were removable I could put my cush insole from the slip on I don't wear as much in and make them perfect. My perfect Van's would be all the cool designs but include padded collar, pro cush insole and slightly padded tongue. I love them all. I'm sure I have over 30 pairs. Always buy in pairs. Lol. Been wearing since 80s when I raced BMX. I remember the Van's half pipe and the mass of Van's being sold at events. I still have high tops from 80s in attic.

Because I own and love so many Vans, the minute this ultra cush black plaid wc dropped I didnt hesitate to order. Vans fit is almost always perfect. So, I didn't read the reviews. I should have. I absolutely needed to size down, so I had to return the first pair. Van's definitely offered good verbal customer service, but there is no real exchange, you send one pair back. You buy another pair. I didn't want the size I "think" I needed next to sell out, so I bought a smaller pair. That pair got to me in mere days, but I was out the full price of the shoe for weeks. The whole thing can be avoided by some stepped up quality control procedures. Fantastic style-Vans, still in love, but check your sizes to love your customers back.

Little stiff at the heel, has blisters for about 2 days, but after I broke them in they were great! Love them. Would buy again. Wear thicker socks the first few times.

So comfortable and helps me walk really fast through a crowd on my morning and evening commute. They look great too which is a plus. Buy these shoes

good

Very attractive shoes. I have narrow long feet, and love this fit. I own several types of Vans shoes and the 2019 UltraRange pair was SUPER comfy and supportive. This new design is a bit stiff and rubbed the back of my heel. I wore them in the house to see if they would break in a bit, but ultimately returned them and exchanged for the "old style" with no problems. Vans is a great company!

Love almost everything about this shoe! Super light weight and comfortable. They are a little tight right behind my toes but I have a wider foot and I am still able to make it work.

so far these are pretty great. they're comfy, they're light, i can run short distances (did a few 400m) in them just fine. i only gave four starts because there is a VERY slight lift in the heel which has caused my turf toe to flare up because i wore them walking on my work commute. i'm keeping an eye on how the hold up also.

I haven't worn them yet but look great. Also I usually wear a 9.5-10 women's and sized down to a 9.0 and they're perfect.

These shoes look great and are comfortable. Only a small warning, the toe box is a bit small so they press a bit on your pinky toe if you tend to dislike that about shoes. They did loosen up a lot on my pinky after one day of wear and I still think they are overall very comfortable shoes. I am on vacation and I think I will do most of my walking in them.

Bought a size 9 as the all black 8.5 was too small but the 9 was way too big. Will try again with a 8.5 in store. Return and refund was quick and easy. I like that.

I bought these for casual wear & for work. Looks great either way, especially with scrubs! I do have wider feet & wish there was a wide option just for some extra room.

Cute! But I had to exchange for a smaller size. I always wear a 9.5 but had to exchange them for a 9. The outer rim is not padded near the heal or ankles like my other Vans and that caused me to step out of them. I had to wear them a couple days to break them in.

As always lite and comfortable. Printing could be better as deeper looks shows the printing errors. Price on slightly higher side which could be lower.

Like them only reason I got them was for the pride representation. I wish this variation was available in the ultrarange rapidweld. The tongue on the exo is too thin and is not comfy for me.

Love the look of it! Simple but classy. One complaint is the weight. It's a little heavy compared to the shoes I have now. I decided to keep it.

People were right about it being big. It's larger in the heel area, like the toe area fits the same as other shoes but the heels rather loose in comparison. I'm keeping it since I don't plan on running in them

I wear these with no show socks with jeans or shorts. As these are smooth black leather, they are a bit more dressy than the usual fabric off-colors, but not too much, and as such, can be used in ways you can't with just fabric shoes. The perforations don't do much for keeping your feet cool though... but it does look cool, which is important, right? I ordered size 10 which is my normal size but found it a bit tight and that was with thin no show socks. I suggest you try them on to see if you are true to size or need a half size larger.

Ehh good shoe when walking but the back tip of the shoe that meets the arch is just too high and rubs a nice burn if you wear low cut socks but comfy to walk in and has a nice feel even on concrete.

I have wide feet and these shoes feel great. I'd give them 5 stars except the left shoe rubbed my achilles for a few wears. Wore them all over Vegas.

I loved these shoes the minute I put them on. My 12+ hour a day job requires comfy shoes and these were. Unfortunately they started to tear after only 2 months. I'll get another pair as soon as the Pomegranate color is available.

Great for gardening/weeding hardly any foxtails get in since there's no laces

So far the quality of these has held up, which I'm happy about after reading other reviews. The back of the heel part has pleather ? So a little hurty

I love the shoes. Had to return for a different size.

Feel great! Awesome walking shoe. Did have to thin sock, reg sock first couple walks. Get the rub area comfortable.
