Customer Reviews Vans Zahba

Felt great right out of box. Went 1/2 size up for toe wiggle room.soles stick to deck. Toss up between AVE's and this to which are my favorite.

If you're skeptical about this shoe, just get it. Break in period is 2 days then it's perfect. Nice pointy toe for flip tricks and moderately padded tongue and collar. Lace them loosely and pair with oversized Levi's 550's for the appropriate look.

My son wears them to work everyday in the film industry and is on his feet a for 12+ hours everyday and these shoes hold up and stay comfortable!

Amazing shoe from an amazing skater.

Love the style, fit and comfort of this shoe.

I have 16 pair Kyle walkers, 6 pair Gilbert Crockett pro, 4 pair Lizzie armanto, 2 pair ultrarange exo, and I still feel like these are the comfiest yet snug pair of vans I've worn in several years. Love 'em

They are really great Vans. Look even better than online. Feel great on too. Probably my new favorite.

This shoe impressed my wife which is not easy! Absolutely gorgeous looking. Definitely a plus to my skate board collection.

A great new addition to the Vans oeuvre, the Zahba borrows a lot of its design elements from the Wayvee. Definitely a must for sneakerheads, as it combines elements of athletic sneakers and traditional skate shoes. Fits true to size, but the toe box is tight/narrow so if you have wide feed I would suggest going up a half size. Otherwise cushy and comfy underfoot and the "Vans Family exclusive" marble colorway is beautiful (IMO). Keep em' coming!

Love the look and super comfy

Fits very similar to the Ave series of shoes. Perfect weight balance.

As someone who usually only wears ultra range I was a little hesitant about these but initially was drawn in by the cool soles and after wearing them around all day they're definitely comfortable

Like the style. They are a little on the narrow side. Covers feet when skating, no more bare foot kickflips. I don't know what else to write 9 characters left..done.

I wore these shoes for a hike, Three Sister Waterfall Trail. It's was the very first time I wore them since the day I bought them. At first they were uncomfortable because they had not been used but once I was returning from the hike they had adjusted to my feet. I'm going to be using these shoes for running, walking and hiking.

This is one of my favorite skate shoes I've skated in. I've purchased 2 pairs now. They don't wear as well as some though, and when they do the vans stripe on the side just hangs off awkwardly and needs to be cut off. Also, the laces are extremely weak for skateboarding in, which is likely why they give you two pairs. Even so, I wouldn't use them. If you are skating in them, buy different laces because in one session you'll have 2 spots completely busted through. Otherwise a very comfortable, light, and good looking shoe.

Initially I liked the shoe because of the Black/Green color-way. The profile from the outer side looks like a normal skate shoe. I have really enjoyed the Lizzie Lows, for example. The inside profile on the Zahba is a little sporty for me, it's also a little narrow in the toe box. I'll keep them because they're a good option to have that looks clean and could be fun to skate in. They're pretty comfortable on the second wear, not as comfy as the Lizzie's which felt amazing from wear one!

The construction is great on these, you get the grip from the regular vans skate line in a more supportive cupsole that's also more durable in wear spots since it's all suede. This is probably the most advanced skate shoe in the vans line up in a minute. IMO this competes with the NB 1010. I get about 3 months of daily skating out of a pair. These best fit street skating since the sole is fairly thick, if you want more boardfeel for vert, the regular vans skate line is a better pick. Only negative is that for a skateboarding focused shoe, they don't come with an extra set of laces and the lace orientation is such that it'll rip before the ones on the Sk8-Hi would. The regular skate line always has extra laces, so this seems a little strange.

I like the overall style of this shoe. Was hoping for something a little more sleek but it works. 4/5 stars because the shoe runs a bit hot. Other than that, it is comfortable.

Love the color and style. Sizing is a little narrow. The new NR3 insole is terrible. Super flat and no cushion at all. You will want to buy after market insoles right off. For this price, very little luxury.

I really liked the style of the shoe it was comfortable but it was smaller than I thought it would be by like a half size so if you buy them buy them a half size bigger. Other than that they looked awesome. I was sad they didn't have my size

The look of this shoe is great, I love it. But, its way too narrow

Show looks great! Unfortunately I had to return them due to the fact that I have wide feet. I might have kept them but I wasn't sure they would have any give after some sort of break in period.

The sizing math told me to measure from heel to big toe. Did that math told me I need a size 7 men's shoe. That can't be right I thought so I ordered size 8.5 men's. When they finally arrived loved to looks and feel that is until I tried them on. Too small my foot went in but, toes were scrunched. I used returned label and sent them back. Yes, I'm bummed because they took so long to get here and when they arrived I was so stoked (gonna hit the local bowl) only to feel the sadness of having to return them. Vans please correct your math sizing 26mm needs size 9.5 men's not 7.5

I bought my normal shoe size and these shoes for some reason put a ton of pressure on my foot at the joint above my big toe on both feet. I wore them for a full day and was having issues where I think they were pinching the nerve or something cause my toe was numb. I really love the design and color on the shoes but they just aren't comfortable to wear.

Unlike other Vans these were very narrow. I even when up a 1/2 in my re-order and it still didn't work.
