Just bought these at vans store in my local town and I finally got a pair of vans that fit. Just wish had more color options and selection in wide.

I have a wide foot, depending on the shoe, I can be up to a 4E... I was excited to see these in a wide with a good description on what actually made them wide, as well! I used to wear Vans Winston's before they discontinued them, and they fit great for a non-wide shoe. I'm SO excited to have these great fitting shoes for kicking around in. Desperately needed something casual and stylish that was actually comfortable with my brick feet lol. ALSO VANS PLEASE MAKE MORE SHOES IN WIDE LIKE CHUKKAS OR MTE SERIES I'LL BUY THEM ALL

I have been wearing Vans strictly for the past 15 years since I was in High School. I have super wide, flat, overpronated feet and 99.9% or shoes don't work and look dumb ugly on me due to my fallen arches. I am so happy Vans now added a wide version which fits even better than the regular ones do! Please make more color options.

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've previously bought the old skool in straight sizing, but was so thrilled to find a wide option available! They fit so much better and are more comfortable, I know I'll wear them more often than my previous pair.

I just received the shoes and am very happy with the fit. Good for folks that have a wide toe box area. For reference I wear Adidas UB20 in a size 8.5, and New Balance running shoes in a size 8 wide (2E) and found that 7.5 Wide in these Vans fit like a glove. Not much wiggle room but comfy where your feet won't slide around. I had a pair of sk-8 His in a size 8 and felt that it was too roomy. Hope this helps other buyers on sizing.

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

These fit really comfortably after a couple of days of breaking them in. My estimated size was a 7.5 Womens but I sized up to an 8 Womens and they fit perfectly.

I'm over 40 and getting back on a skateboard after 25-30 years of life distractions. I am so happy to see that Vans offers a wide selection for skating shoes. They are one of the only shoe companies that make wide shoes explicitly for skaters. Please Vans, release even more styles under the WIDE label.

I was excited to try wide width vans! The regular width is kind of snug and the wide fit perfectly! I wish there were more options to choose from without having to do custom though. I will definitely be buying more styles in wide width.

I love the wide option. Size 8 was always was just too tight and 8.5 I would slide around inside the shoe. The wide option is perfect!

For over a decade, the only sneaker I wear is Vans Old Skool. Year after year. They wear out, I buy another pair in the same size and color. This is the first time I've purchased online and saw they had a wide width. I bought a pair. THEY'RE AMAZING! Now, make them in the green, brown, yellow and corduroy. I'll take them all.

I love that the Old Skool is available in WIDE! Plenty of room in the toe box. Hope you keep adding more styles in this width.

These fit but they were too hard at the toes and heel. Maybe someone with a lower arch would be ok, but they were not for me comfort wise.
