Customer Reviews Vans Rowan

The insoles on these sneakers are great for my feet and I love the look! I can even wear to work with dress pants

I just like the look from day one wore these all day on my feet and felt comfortable I didn't have any issues felt great as soon as I put them on for me that's a definite plus

These are great shoes! They are very comfortable once you break them in. Super durable too. I am going to be buying more of these. The only not so great thing I noticed was that the laces seemed to wear down pretty fast, but that's nothing a little shoe goo or hot glue can't fix. I was on the line about getting these because I tend to have wider feet and though they would be too narrow but they are a perfect fit. If you are on the line, I would definitely go for it. Just keep in mind, they might take a little while to break in, but once they do, they mold right to your feet.

These are the most comfortable vans I've have ever owned. I have been wearing vans for 30 years and recently picked up a pair of Rowans on sale, I immediately had to buy another. They are such a great fit! They are light weight and flexible, but you can feel they are sturdy and durable. Beautifully styled with simple, yet tasteful touches. I will be wearing the Rowan for as long as they are on the market!

I bought these shoes for a tournament. They work out fantastic! I love the feel and grip i get! Plus the style! I couldnt ask for a better shoes than vans!!

Super comfortable and I've gotten a lot of compliments on these shoes!

Best pair of Vans I have owned to date. I hope that these get restocked till the end of time. The all black with just the right amount of pop with the white sidestripe is everything I could ask for in a day to day pair of Vans. I'm in love.

I need buy this one again, perfect for everything

These are the best skate shoe I've had in 24 years of skateboarding - I've had 4 pairs. They are comfortable, durable and fit a perfect happy medium in that they have more support and padding than something like an Era or an Old School, but are not 90's bulky and still have great board feel. I have skated street and transition in them a bunch and worn them for plenty of non-skate activities too. They fit well for slightly wider feet. I really hope Vans keeps making these, as I have a pair of the Rowan 2 as well and they are nearly as comfortable as the original Rowan (and with a steeper price tag). Please keep making these in at least a black and white color way!

Feels like a HalfCab with a lower profile that's not as stiff in design. Out of the box these are snug if you lace them all the way up, but like all my Vans I loose lace them and have zero pain points during the break in process. I'm heavy-set with flat feet. Break in period was 30 mins out of the box into my warm up session, but I think I could break these in around the same amount of time just walking around. I skate a lot of flat land and had to adjust my flick because of the raised toe bumpers, but it's been awesome for me since. I rarely skate gaps so the Popcush has me covered for my impact protection needs. This model has found a special place in my heart and I still find random colorways in my local store in my size every now and then that I buy without a second thought. I have 3 pairs of the Rowan 2 which I also love, but I don't necessarily need all the updated tech that model provides and prefer the board feel this model gives me. Really wish this model wasn't discontinued, but that's what I get for sleeping on Vans until last year. Bought the olive/black pair that was on markdown during Black Friday sales and wished I got multiple. Lucked out and got a black/black/white pair on the website that popped up in my size after being out of stock forever. A really versatile shoe for skating but can be used as an everyday/everything shoe because of it's style, quality, & comfort.

Really comfortable, sole has good grip. Recommend the scotchguard protector, they get dirty easy.

These are the best fit Vans shoes I have ever had, and have allowed me to have the perfect feel and control of my board while wearing these shows. I am going to get the Rowan II as well.

There should always be a brown and brown shoe in the vans line up.

Love these!

Love my shoes and they're so comfortable!

I love this shoe, the black trim is nice so i dont have to worry to much about the dirt. really comfortable.

I've never been able to wear the base soles due to back problems so my other only Vans have been ComfyCush up until this purchase. Incredible feel and durability in this shoe! The sole under the ball of my feet is a tad under-cushioned, but I wear this as a daily walker through an auto body shop and not doing kick flips. This won't be my last pair of PopCush!

Good quality and my son loves these shoes

I've owned 7 pairs of these. They're the perfect auto repair shoe. The later versions are more true to size. The first few pairs I got before the side stripe versions were a little smaller in length and now fit more true to size. They feel like a running shoe, without looking like one and have the durability of a work boot, without being heavy and creating foot fatigue. Good for wide feet and just enough pinky toe room for my 2E foot. The elastic bands make it so they don't need to be tied tight for a locked in fit. I've had, or at least tried on, basically every shoe that vans has made over the last 20 years and these are the best I've found. If vans put more effort into advertising them, they would be the most popular vans shoe, in my opinion. On a side note, are these being discontinued? I noticed availability on online stores has decreased like they're being phased out. The black and white should always be available.

I love this shoe style and color. The fit is great and they are comfortable. The color gets tons of compliments.

Great looking and very comfortable

Nice vans

I use them day to day and for work, super comfortable and nice to wear them
