Customer Reviews Vans Old Skool Wide

Always liked classic Vans and I wish they were more durable. But the fact that this is offered in wide is the reason I keep back. I just wish they sold these in stores. #sweepstakes

Unfortunately since I have 1 wider foot than the other, I require the basic Van styles. The cut on the black and black style is okay, but it does not seem to be done as well compared to its sister style that is black and white. I would not recommend thicker socks, or going up one more half in this shoe because it fits only perfectly when wearing no show or thinner socks.

Hello! I bought this particular pair for weightlifting. (Squats in general). Right out the box they feel GREAT! Sometimes plain and simple without overcomplicating a shoe is the best solution! I tried other weightlifting shoes and I can tell these are going to be durable and stable. I hope the canvas holds up with the aggressive use im going to put these through, (lateral movements, jumps, squats etc). Too early to tell now but I can tell if they hold up these will be my primary weightlifting shoe. I wish they made an all LEATHER WIDE! As far as the fit, these are a 9 WIDE and the wideness is absolutely perfect and the length is true to size. The only drawback is when I walk, there's a squishy feeling and sound coming from the back of both heels, im hoping this goes away when broken in. Also, the laces are too long, they're touching the floor. Other then this, I can't wait to work these hard in my workouts. These should be advertised as weightlifting shoes as well! Ill let you know how they hold up when lifting. Thanks Vans for your simple, but effective design of this shoe, also please make a leather version in WIDE, shorten the laces and fix the squishy feeling / noise in the back and this shoe will be absolutely perfect! Thanks again.

Not sure if the all black shoes have always been like this bc this is my first pair, but where the shoe fabric ends is raw & unfinished, so the white material shows through underneath. Looks terrible to have 2 white stripes of unhemmed fabric. I've worn vans for years & never noticed any other shoe like this, bring back wide shoes so I can pick which shoes i buy & see flaws beforehand

The shoes fit good and are Very comfortable . Would've been a 5 star but they didn't come with a sticker like they used to . Would buy again though .

Love my Vans, they're my go to for everything. I love the fit, and feel of them. They are the perfect shoes for every occasion.

I have a wide foot, haven't found vans in wide in any store. In truth I want looking that hard. When I found them on the website I was pretty excited. Got them in, and they are almost perfect. Another few millimeters in the toe box would have been great. But I'm back in Vans after many years.

I got the wide ones, they fit good but are a little tight right underneath the toes, have to break them in a bit. Otherwise these old skools will forever be classics

Per the size guide I should wear a men's size 9 wide. Ordered a 10 for good measure. Barely long enough and not even close to wide enough. Buyers need to buy minimum 2 sizes larger. Now I'm out $76 for shoes that hurt. Gave 2 stars because they're a good looking shoe

The shoe size should go up to 16 or 18 like the rest of vans sneakers

I've worn Vans most of my adult life, but now in my mid-forties, I needed a wider fit. I am so happy they make these! Please make more colors!

Great for wide feet. Couldn't fit into regular Vans any more, these fit great.

My daughter has wide feet and always a problem find shoes that fit. These fit perfect

Good fit, but cushioning is lacking. It feels like I'm walking around barefoot.

Competed in my first deadlift meet. Wide Vans performed flawlessly. Good grip, stable flat base and great for balance. These shoes would not work as walking shoes for me but they work well for weightlifting. I would try other Vans models if they came in wide. So please, more colors and models in wide.

I've always loves the look of Vans, but I grew out of their size range around 8th grade, ending up at a 14 4E. I was thrilled to see that they had started making their shoes in wide widths, and in my size, and I'm happy to report they fit. These require a bit of break in, but once that's done they are incredibly comfortable. As other reviews noted, they have no room for insoles, but they're skate shoes, that's a given.

I wish there were more colors in wide. Right now it's basic black, white, and checkered. I would buy every color if they were available.

These Vans are awesome !! Just like the Vans I bought back in the day. Will definitely purchase more in the future !
