Terrible quality shoe. After only a few wears the platform started separating from the shoe. I fully expected this to be a sturdy show considering how chunky they are. But no. Already falling apart and i haven't even had them for two months of inconsistent wear. Really disappointed.

So I purchased the silver glitter version after falling in love at the Vans store. I did notice when I tried them on in store, they ran half a size big for me. I am almost always a women's 9 and I was a women's 8.5 in these. They are very pretty in the light as the glitter is a holographic silver. I also liked the platform. However, the love was short lived. I've only worn them twice and noticed a few issues I wish I had known prior to purchasing. First off, the glitter already started falling off after TWO wears. I own plenty of glitter shoes from different brands, but was disappointed that the glitter on these couldn't even hold up. Glitter falls off and it's a natural consequence of the material, but the glitter on these rubbed/fell off prematurely. Secondly, the shoelaces these come with are very soft, but frayed almost immediately. They're still functional and in tact, but don't look great. Lastly, the shoes loosen up quite quickly after lacing them. I'm sure this is a result of the tension from bending your foot in a platform shoe, but unless you constantly retighten the laces, your feet will end up hurting from the chaffing. As beautiful as these shoes are, I cannot recommend them.

I ordered half a size down since other comments suggested that. Too big and had to return. Ordered another half size down and still huge.

The right sole came unglued from the liner after 10 steps. It makes a sticking sound with every step, so annoying.

I ordered 2 pairs. The first was TINY. The second came stained. Unable to return or exchange because I purchased with apple pay.

I ordered my usual size in Vans Old Skools, but these were too big. I returned and reordered in a half size down, but they were still too big. I now cannot return and re-purchase even smaller because I got them on sale for Black Friday. My suggestion if you buy is to get a FULL size down, not a half.

Shoes are much lighter in the pictures posted online. In person they are almost a purple color.

When I bought these shoes this year the leather was a different materialnever had a problem with blisters but this fabric is more rubbery, not like it used to be. Also it doesn't clean well the perforations tend to "blow out" after being cleaned with a mr clean magic eraser which I've never had an issue with for probably 8 years of wearing this shoenew material is a dissapointment

Had these for 4 weeks, only wore them a few times. They have felt tight and misshaped since I got them. And today while putting them on, the straps in the back broke. THESE ARE MEANT TO BE PULLED ON TO HELP YOU GET YOU FOOT IN THE SHOE. Bad quality, do better.

Shoe looks awesome and is comfortable. Unfortunately, I have had my pair for two weeks and only worn them three times before the sole started separating from them shoe. For the money I paid in the Van's store, I expected way better. My original review was rejected for mentioning the price of the shoe, which is a very interesting way of admitting that Van's is selling overpriced junk.

These are not Van's standard quality. They feel incredibly cheap and I have no doubt they wouldn't hold up like the rest of my Van's. I have returned them with the intent to purchase some old school Van's instead. These, to me, were terrible materials and quality.

#17775749 YOU DO NOT HAVE THE ALL RED EXO AVAILABLE ANYMORE - SO THIS IS THE CL:OSET I CAN GET TO DOING A REVIEW - I have owned many pairs of Vans from you with no complaints, but my pair of red Ultrarange EXOs has been a huge disappointment. I have only worn them as casual shoes infrequently around the house and outside, the tread is like new, but both shoes have fraid and have a hole in the exact same place on both shoes, I have photos but no where to put them on here. It's like the fabric just disintegrated.
