Customer Reviews Vans Kids SK8-Hi (Little Kid/Big Kid)

Been waiting 5 years for vans to make this shoe!!! I love this shoe. I’ve been wearing it since I was a teenager myself. Now that I have a son, I wanted it for him too, but alas, they only made it for older kids...until now!!! I immediately snatched up two pair and they are great! Love them and they fit true to size and he says they are comfortable. Thanks Zappos!!!

My 7 year old son says, "I love them. I've been wearing them a lot. They're comfortable. Thank you! But the laces come untied a lot."

I have always believed in getting quality shoes that will stand the test of a very active 8-year old boy. This seems to be the only brand shoe that can do it! My son's 2nd pair of Vans, only because he outgrew his old ones. I have purchased him Asics before. Those lasted for only a few months, although they offered better support than Vans. My son does have flat feet, so we did get him fitted for orthotics, as the only downfall with Vans is they do not have good arch support. Otherwise, the shoes itself can stand up to the abuse and have never ripped on him (older pair). Every other shoe we have bought for him since he could walk/run always developed holes from the rough housing! Great durable shoe, cool-looking, but needs better arch support, which can be complemented by a good pair of orthotics (if needed).

Bought these vans for my daughter, she was very satisfied with the her sneakers.

Good option for smaller kids who skate hard. Offers good ankle support for my kid who has a weak ankle when worn along with a brace. Soles wear through a bit too easy but better than the other so called skate shoes. Not many true skateboard shoes in these small sizes to choose from. My older boy has a lot more choices.

My 6 year old son picked these. He always wears Vans which he loves. I was a little apprehensive about getting getting him high tops with laces as I prefer the slip on and go out the door shoe. I just saw these as hard work. He really wanted them. Result? Beautiful shoes. Don't be in a hurry to put them on. We ended up buying an extra pair of slip on Vans for when we are in a hurry as he was going back to his old fall apart too small pair Vans to avoid the hassle of the high tops. Sigh. I hate it when I am right.
