Appreciate vans putting out a wider skate sneaker there's few to no other options. Sizing seems to run just a teeny bit small, like I'm used to a very small gap at the end with size 9, but with these there was no room to spare, not so tight as to cause discomfort but will go 1/2 size up if I order these again. Overall good, and if they endure at least 6 months of skating I'll likely get them again. Overall good,

Let me start off by saying, finally we have wide vans! I have bunions and I finally have vans that fit lol. Closet full of vans that I can only wear for two hours tops except for these. All day wear! Now, we know that these vans do not have arch support etc. So I'm not sure why ppl have expectations of arch support... If we are choosing this specific style that doesn't have any in regular vans. But anyway. I work at a desk. And I rock vans all day now. Woo!

I love that Vans is offering some wide width shoes! I look forward to seeing more wide widths across their product line.

Very happy with these shoes. Extremely comfortable and durable. Tend to burn shoes quickly and these stand up well to daily wear. Great shoes

I like the Skate shoe. I have purchased several pair previously. My current purchase just doesn't feel as comfortable as I am used to.

My kid wears a 10.5 Wide Men's size shoe. He's borderline wide/medium width when measured in a store, but can't fit in most medium shoes. This shoe was too narrow for him. Back to the Skechers Vigor 3.0, I guess.

One half size large. Construction is good but feels thin. I felt the look to be a bit feminine.

the chart says a foot that's 11 in (28cm) is a Mens size 10... ????? I'm a 13 in Vans guaranteed. guaranteed. like not even talking wide option lol so I'd def order a size or two up cuz I'm assuming the whole chart is prolly incorrect. lol

I really wanted to like this shoe but it was just too narrow, not a true wide.

These shoes would get 5 stars across the board if it weren't for the left shoe. It digs painfully into my foot when I walk. The shoe isn't stitched right or something. It's bruised the bridge of my foot after wearing it for only a few hours and with minimum walking.

Nice sneakers but I wouldn't call them wide. I wear an EE shoe and I could barely squeeze my foot into these.

If you have a wide foot, these might be the shoes you need. I liked the wide width, it made my toes feel like they had some space between them and were not cramped in the toe box. Since I wear a size 15, it also felt good in the length. My problem with the shoes was the tongue area kept feeling like it was jamming into my leg/foot at the shoe opening. This caused some discomfort, enough I felt that returning these was the only option.

I was glad finally they offered wide, but when I got the shoe it felt as if I had flat feet. I wear a 10.5 wide & since so support I returned.

I hoped I would be able to enjoy my first pair of Vans ever as an adult but with no arch support and non-removable liners means I can't fit my custom orthotics in the shoes. They work perfectly in my trail shoes and boots. Sad these probably won't work out.

Got these for my daughter. She wears an 8.5 wide, they were tight. I would recommend getting 1 size bigger of whatever your size is. Have to return and get an 9.5.

Comfortable but the quality is already going downhill after a month and a half of light use. The front stippled part of the sole is coming off.

Horrible. The toebox upper seam was digging into my flesh.

I was genuinely disappointed in these. I ordered the wide to try and combat the pinky toe rubbing issue but they were just wide and still rubbed. I don't understand why these are so weirdly uncomfortable. I had to return them and two weeks after mailing them off I still haven't heard anything or gotten a refund. So that's fun. Buyer be ware.

While it is wide enough to fit my feet (which is hard to find), the stitching along the top of the shoe digs into my foot with every step. Extremely uncomfortable! How is this not a universal design issue?

Just like the first pair of vans I wore going on 50 years ago , the old skools are an excellent shoe for performance and durability and fit my out going and laid back personality to a tee. Imo wether you are looking for a comfortable and Affordable shoe that looks good too these Old Skools vans will not disappoint.
