Customer Reviews Vans Sentry Old Skool WC

Very cute, and comfortable but runs big. I've been wearing vans my whole life and I'm always a 6.5. But these were huge on me. Had to return

I absolutely love how lightweight & easy breezy these shoes are, that said - the quality is kinda abysmal. I'd be willing to pay more if they lasted longer.

I bought a pair of these earlier this year in the hot pink color. I ordered these to replace the pink ones that my dog ate. The area below the laces is too tight (think height wise) like it pushes down on your toe joint area. UGH!

So I have a pair of Yucca exo's and theyre great. Comfy, stylish and light. The only thing is the toe box, i would love a wider toebox.

The hard plastic that cut through the heel pull tab and dug into my achilles' tendon! I really like the reverse tread, the foam used in the sole, the thin tongue, the PU coatings on the toe box, the white color-ways, etc. but the achilles heel issue is a hard to ignore. There's plastic sewn into the seam around the collar that joins the inside and outside of the shoe, I think maybe the heel pull tab was supposed to cushion/cover the seam but the plastic just cut right through everything, including some socks.

I have two other pair in the same size and these fit wayyyyy smaller. Love the look, not the size. They're even the same kind.

Super cool looks shoes but they were just to narrow for my foot. I don't have a wide foot it's a normal foot width. It was a bummer.

These shoes are amazing but unfortunately after three months they started separating at the sole and I had to get another pair of this style made with different materials.

Bought this shoe about a month ago. I have slightly wide feet but it is comfortable, stylish, and what I was looking for. It was my daily and the roughest activity I have put it through was probably a short 5 stride run. Sadly, just short of a month's wear the outer side sole of my left shoe came unglued/split apart. Definitely have bought cheaper shoes with longer wear, so I did not expect such a short walk with these. I'll try to salvage it, as I do own other style/pairs of vans.

I've been purchasing Vans for 16 years straight. These are the most comfortable Vans I've ever purchased, they're the most comfortable shoes I own. I love them, but they were a bit pricy and fell apart fairly quickly. They're my work shoes I wear them for 8-10 hours at a time, but in a job where I sit half of the time and the floor is laminate and carpet; nothing hard on shoes. I want to buy them again but I'm reluctant with how easily they fell apart.

I Purchased the leather slip-on because I was having Sizing issues with the Canvas style. Same issue. It is apparently an origin of Manufacturing issue. Some come from Phillipines and some from Vietnam. There are Sizing variations.

The Ethrea isn't as brown/khaki as I thought, its more pink'ish brown hue.

Instantly not comfortable. It's weird the just the width and the part on top of my foot feels small. In length they are fine. I think I'm going to stretch them out because I'm not sure if I can exchange them online. I'm always a size 8, I bought a size 8. I weigh 125lb and don't have an abnormally wide foot. I would love an 8.5 but I'm not sure if that'll happen with the exchange policy.

These are super cute but are a very snug fit. I normally wear a size 8 so I ordered a size 8 and they are so tight that I can't even wiggle my toes a little bit. Don't have a choice but to return them and based off the toe room, I don't think sizing up would even matter.

Just not as tough as I expect a pair of Vans to be. The first, and very early wear came along the back sole. The sole material is so soft that foot-on-foot friction from walking sort of chewed up the material along the back. Recently-- though after a year of almost daily wear-- a seem on top where 2 materials meet ripped out. Elsewhere and really much of the shoe, the materials are wearing really great and cleanup easily. Shame these few spots aren't holding up. These are incredibly comfortable, so perhaps the softer sole is a tradeoff.

Online these looked like a light brown or taupe. Which is exactly what I wanted. I got them in the mail and they looked purple/mauve. I ended up returning them because they just weren't what I was looking for. Not an ugly color, just not accurate or like the picture online.

Cute design but it's not really a platform. Will be exchanging for a different style.

Sadly, I had a 40% off promo code but had to mail back because it was too small for my daughter.

My son absolutely loves these shoes. He is VERY particular on the way his shoes and clothes feel and these passed every test. So I splurged and spent the high price tag. But they fell apart in two places where the material is mesh-like. He still wears them but I find this unacceptable for expensive shoes. There is reinforcement (I assume for skateboarding) in certain areas of the shoes but it isn't enough for an active kid running around all the time. The mesh material is too thin and caused holes way too soon. I am really bummed because he loves them but I can't justify the cost when they only last a few months.

I always forget that vans runs too big. I use to buy them a lot and knew what size to buy. But then I remember one time I got a pair and they were too small. Now I get my normal exact size and it's a whole size to big. It's ridiculous they won't just be consistent. 6 inches cants just magically somehow be 7 in Inches.

love the shoes - I've ordered them multiple times. Unfortunately when I received this pair, they were 2 different sized shoes so I have to send back.

Shoe runs on the narrow side. Order up a size especially if you have wider feet Comfortable after wearing them except on the back upper heal

I have no complaints about the comfort and style of the Vans slips we know and love. But the color is so light that it was visibly dirty immediately.

These are great shoes, but the color is completely different than it appears online. I thought the top of the shoe was going to be white or maybe a very light gray but instead they are definitely a grayish Blue color. I'm going to keep them because I still like them, but was a little disappointed.

I bought both of my boys a pair of these shoes for the beginning of the school year. We have not even hit winter break and already both of my boys have holes in their shoes in multiple places. I anticipated these shoes to last longer than < 6 months since they are a bit more costly. My boys used them for only everyday wear.
