Customer Reviews Vans Chukka Low Sidestripe

These look nice but they are so thin, wouldn't skate in them. Not very comfortable either.

I really hope these stretch out. Right now the outer side of my feet have a rough pressure point spot. Wearing thick socks to try and break them in but I havent even taken them outside since going longer than 30 minutes is pretty painful currently. Never had this issue with other vans. Aside from that for me, they run a half size big. Picked up the blue pair and they are perfect for summer.

From the photos I couldnt tell it was the kind with the stuffed tongue, I dont mind it but where it attaches to the shoes it bruises the top of my foot. I'm hoping to break them in over time. Also wish the side wall was suede like the rest of the shoe, the suede lasts much longer. Otherwise they're so cute, I love them!

My first pair had a defect in the left shoe, way too tight compared to the right. I returned and purchased again. The left shoe on the second set is way better but like other reviews suggest the shoes don't seem to match as a pair. I like the style and look and I'll give them a break in and see what happens.

It is entirely my fault and cannot discount that they look decent, the first picture is misleading as to what style they are.

I used to wear chukka lows when I was in highschool. These definitely fit much more narrow. I have worn these for a few months and every time my pinky toes are squeezed and it is very painful.

I got these to replace my work shoes (Vans used to make a work specific shoe that was great) and many of the reviews said these were super comfy to walk around in all day and great for work. I don't know if it's me, the fact that I walk on concrete at work all day, or the shoe, but I didn't last half a day in these without having to get a separate gel insole to add. The included sole says PopCush, but it didn't feel very cushy? So I dunno, either mine were missing the cushy part or if you have a body that's falling apart and you stand and walk for work all day, these look awesome but won't make the cut for good work shoes on their own.

Kinda disappointed my other pop Cush vans are super comfortable so I wanted a black pair, these ones are not it's like they messed up and forgot the insert and they make an annoy sound when you walk it sucks especially after paying full price too very disappointed

The Pop Cush is not the same as their other skate shoes. Half as thick, No bounce. I had to swap out to my old Kyle Walkers Pop Cush just to wear them. Grey/gum, great color way though.

I have been wearing Vans for years. This shoe looks awesome - but is incredibly narrow. I've been a 10.5 for years, but now I need to exchange

Received these the other day, opened them and they were sun bleached. Otherwise they seemed good. Sending back for another pair hopefully not bleached. Lol

The shoes look great, but just like the other pair I bought, they are too tight on the top of the foot.

Someone else said the same thing. These shoes ain't for wide feet. They hurt. Tongue is pretty beefy. Shoes look nice, but I'm sending these back.

The shoes are comfortable but I have pain on the top of my feet. The shoes are tight on the top of my feet and I loosened the laces but still have the pain. I'm afraid I cannot return them since I wore them

I need the same pair chukka low side strap in gray

I have another pair of Chukkas, all canvas, and they are great. These were tight in the front where the tongue starts. It was too restrictive, and the tongue was so padded it just made the entire fit uncomfortable. It's a shame. They looked real good.

Treads wore out way faster than any other Vans shoes I've owned (including other chukka lows), stitching and glue came undone on the stripes, and since unboxing these on day one I've had unexplainable white lines on the toebox that have only gotten worse. Hopefully I just got a bad pair, but my faith in Vans quality is definitely lower now. On the plus side, the style is great and they were pretty comfortable until the outsole wore out real bad.

These seem to be a but small unfortunately. I've had hundreds of Vans and live all of them. These a little small, maybe a defect? I'm not sure, the red ones and blue ones fit perfectly so this was a bummer. Still dope, bought a stretcher and that seems to be doing the trick.

Outsole seam is across the ball of the foot, so it's narrow and stiff where it needs the most flex.They hurt your feet.Wish I'd returned them in time.

To narrow hurt your feet not very soft on the insole need comfy/cush liners

I was baffled how these Pop Cush insoles made my feet kill right from the start. Then I compared to my Kyle Walker's Pop Cush insoles. What the heck, these are half the height of the Kyle Walker's! Only way to wear these is to use my Kyle Wakker insoles, Ridiculous.

Look awesome. Horrible fit. So tight in toe bed to the point I can't even walk around in my house with them on.

Bought a pair in brown with gum sole. Right shoe is tighter than left near the pinky toe so it's too uncomforable to wear. Never had this issue this bad with other Vans. Tried a couple days of wearing them to the office, but couldn't keep doing it. Didn't see the tongue was padded until I got it, but not a deal breaker.
