Purchased for son, the black on black is the perfect alternative to dressier shoes, while still being rad and comfortable!

I tried the wide vans in the authentic (?) model and they just didn't do it for me. I've wanted a pair of Old Skool Vans for a long time and have been jealous of my normal width footed friends for longer. These wide old skool vans are a perfect fit and I'm so glad Vans has expanded their offerings in wide widths. Here's to hoping they add the MTE and Ultrarange at some point! :)

I bought these shoes as a birthday gift for a friend with small but wide feet. He said they were a perfect fit and were very comfortable. I'm thinking of buying a pair for myself next!

I have really wide feet. When I first put these on they even still felt too narrow. But after loosening up the laces completely they fit perfect and my feet are super happy. Grateful for wide shoes to skate in!

I've struggled finding fashionable shoes that fit my 12 4E feet for years. These do it, WITHOUT a break-in period where my feet hurt (like it should be). Limited colors, but I no longer need to size up to a 13 for black sk8 his. Vans, keep these in stock please and add more colors!

I enjoy the shoes a lot. I'm glad Vans has wide sizes. They're a little tough to get on sometimes but I'm sure it'll get better. Love them!! #sweepstakes

Decide to purchase these Sk8 Hi after scratching my ankles countless times. They fit my feet perfectly, without a need to go multiple sizes up. The only thing I'm not happy with is the lack of a proper insole like the PopCush. These shoes come with a very basic "better than nothing" insole. I wanted to buy the same model but fully custom from the Vans website, but without a proper insole, it's a no-go.

For years I've always wore a regular 10.5 . I got my foot size fitted at an event and was told to try 9.5 wide.
They fit perfectly. Before even at the bigger size it was just wide enough but with the trade off of being too long. From the box the wide sizing was spot on.
Only reason it isn't perfect is that I wish vans had more color options. I'd really like these in the blue n white.

They are a great shoe. Style wise great and in general pretty comfy the only reason I'm not giving five stars is because they are a little on the small side. I wear a 9.5 in men's wide and I'm ordering another pair in 10 wide because the 9.5's are crushing my pinky toes but I'm sure once I get the larger size that issue will be resolved

These shoes are the most fashionable I have felt in 4E shoes in such a long time. If you want a 4E shoe and require arch support like I do, then buy this but take out the insole.
It'll take some effort but if you can pull the sole from the glue and can replace it with a more comfortable supportive insole then you will not regret it!

I normally wear a size 3E and these shoes are comfortable. However you can not use any thick inserts or they become too tight.

These are comfy and fit my wide feet. I normally order half a size larger in other styles but these, I should have just gotten my regular size. There's really nothing wrong just a little slight discomfort with breaking them in because of this. It's literally like a half an inch difference but I still love them and will continue to wear them.

Fast shipping. Bought straight from Vans since I don't trust some online stores, counterfeits are common. Pretty much the exact same shoe I have worn for many years. Wish all Vans were made in the U.S.A. tho. That is my only gripe and reason for 4 stars. I don't skate anymore so I use these on my motorcycle, great for that.

The wides are actually great and I appreciate that that is an option. However, no stores have any wide to try on which is a total bummer what have you got against normal sized feet? and wide is only available for certain shoes, which is also a total bummer. The insole is total garbage and will wreck your knees and vans needs to figure out a way to make them removable so you can add your own insoles or make the classics more comfortable. I basically use these to take my dog for a walk when it's muddy and rainy out and so they do their job. Just wish they were a little bit more comfortable for those of us who have skated for 20 to 30 years plus.

I wanted to like these but the canvas uppers dig into the top of my foot at the toe bend point causing pain. If they were leather or suede the problem would have probably been resolved. I needed a wide so the canvas was my only option. The sole is very hard in these too and I could see my feet hurting with long time wear. Unfortunately I'm sending these back.

Vans wides should be offered in every shoe. They relegate bigger feet folks to like 5 styles and the most bland colors. And even then, the material and sizing varies. I've purchased the sk8 high in black and white, all black, and all white, and the materials and fit are different. The all black and all white fit noticeably smaller than the black with white stripe. Are they awake over there?
