Customer Reviews Vans Old Skool Wide

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 !

I love these shoes! For YEARS I've been suffering the pain caused by ill-fitting shoes... over a variety of brands. So, when I found out that Vans had wide-fitting shoes, I had to try them. Once they arrived, which was surprisingly fast, I was excited and eager to put them on. I was amazed at how much room there was and how my toes were able to sit naturally without feeling cramped together like passengers on a New York subway during rush hour. I'm ABSOLUTELY going to get myself another pair or two (or FIVE) in the not-too-distant future!!

Bought for 16 year granddaughter. Not as well made as the ones I purchased years ago for my kids. Still ok

Overall this is one of my go to shoes and I was excited to see that they come in a wide width. Unfortunately, when I compared it to my original Old Skool, they are exactly the same. Disappointing, but I will still wear them.

I'm a senior citizen and beginner weight lifter. I need balance deadlifting. I read about Vans on power lifting websites. I bought some for the gym. First I removed the glued down insoles, not too hard to do. Put in my prescription, custom orthotics. These Vans have flat bottoms and they stick to the floor. Perfectly level and stable. So glad Vans makes a wide shoe. I tested these out during deadlifts and I am very satisfied with them. For my purposes these shoes are outstanding. They have 9 eyelets and wide cotton laces so I can tighten them exactly the way I want. This is my first pair of Vans. POSITIVES: Excellent weight lifting shoes especially dead lifts and leg presses. They grip the floor. They look good. 9 pair of eyelets. Reasonably priced.

I've been wearing Vans for more than thirty years, in either this style or slip-ons but only the slip-ons came in a wide. Finally came out with the Old Skool Wides - now if I can only customize these....

I'm so happy that WIDES are now offered! In the past I would suffer through pinched toes. No more! I'm looking forward to creating a custom pair. I can't give 5 stars dues to the lack of arch support
