Customer Reviews Vans Sk8-Hi Stacked

I wear a men's 5, women's 6.5 in Van's and these fit TTS. I sized up 1/2 size to a women's 7 because of reviews saying they ran small and they were HUGE. Don't do it, order your regular size. Now, on to more important things--I LOVE THESE SHOES. I was never a platform sneaker person until these. (I'm an easy-shoe, comfort fiend so usually live in Van's classics and UltraRange EXO slip-ons--Van's, please bring those back!) Now I'm obsessed and wear them nearly daily. They've launched me headfirst into a platform sneaker phase, where all I want to wear is platforms as my "dress up" sneakers when I'm out on the town and prefer them to boots. They are incredibly cushioned and comfortable (8 hours and feet feel great!), far more than the Converse version, which I also love, but have been neglected because I choose these every time. They're flattering with skinny jeans, create a long leg line--make sure to tuck the laces into the sides for a clean look--give the height of a nice heeled shoe/boot, tons of compliments. ("Omg...OMG, wait...are those...VAN'S?!!") The white is chic and goes well with everything, including dresses. (Although I'm OCD about keeping them clean and they require maintenance. I haven't had to wash them yet, but my other Van's canvas look brand new after a machine wash, but I'm a little nervous about doing it with these due to the huge sole.) Can't live without them. Want them in more colors. My only pet peeve is how the tongue slips around even when laced through the tag and the weird gap/bulge/dent/wrinkle thing that happens with the canvas where the base of the tongue is, which you can see in pictures here. But I've had to get over it, because the rest of the shoe is Hundo P. I also have to plan in the freaking 5 minutes of effort it takes to properly get these things on as they can't be thrown on at the last minute, but it's worth it. My favorite sneakers. Van's for life.
