Customer Reviews Vans Ultrarange Neo VR3

Looks pretty nice and is comfortable, BUT the toe part is narrow, so you will get tired really quick if you choose your true size. I recommend taking half size bigger so you could walk all day long. The worst part is that it's written nowhere about that. I am not going to wear mine as it's too snag and my feet are tired after 1 hour of wear.

I am a size 8.5W and had to buy a 9.5W. I bought these shoes thinking they'd be great for walking/standing instead of using my old skool. However I've worn them 3x already and the toe box is slim and a bit tight around my foot, I wish the fox box was wider. They are okay for short distances. They might still be new and I need to break them in. Other than that I love the color and style of the shoe.

Love Vans for a comfy, low profile everyday shoe. Sales person told my husband the Neo's were more comfortable that the EXO so he went with these. Not so much. These are comfortable, but the EXO have a much more cushioned foot bed. Also, the shoe laces are ridiculously long. I could cut one in half and it would work for both shoes. Overall, not bad, but not the most comfortable Vans in my opinion.

Great shoe I wear a 13 in Vans - need a Half size up in this - a bit disappointing there isn't a half size up in this and 13 was the largest size.

Very comfortable, but the shoe treads are almost completely bald after only three months. That is ridiculous.

I've owned a pair of the yellow/pink ones for a while and I love them, but they were getting stained at work so I got a second pair in black. The fit is exactly the same, but the laces aren't as nice. The yellow pair have thick sturdy laces with the silicone dipped ends, but the black pair just came with regular old laces. I understand vans makes slightly different sub styles of their shoes, but they should be priced differently if they're made with different materials. Still some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned and a good deal when they're on sale.

Love the shoes and how the look, but there is a weird overlapping fabric on the outside that can be felt from inside the shoe, right over my big toe. Making it feel too small. It's a design flaw I hope they fix (see yellow line). I'm having a real hard time wearing mine. They are not stretching much, but I am determined to stretch them so I can wear them. They cost too much money to sit in my closet.

Not as comfortable as I anticipated

I usually wear a 10 in every other shoe. I went with the 10.5 just because online orders are harder to return. The 10.5 was very tight. The return process was fairly easy. I ordered a new 11, and they feel good in the toe, but still a little snug around the top and the width.

I had a pair of the older version of these that fit beautifully so I was excited to get these in the mail, but they're too big in the heel, I think they're half a size too large. Will sadly be returning them.

I was trying to use these as a gym shoe on an elliptical machine, but the toe box was more narrow than is typical of Vans and hurt my feet.

Looks really good but not as comfortable as other ultrarange. Not as flexible pretty stiff. One major flaw needs to be improved asap is the tongue is way to short won't reach top laces so tongue and laces dig into foot and ankle joint. Also no support on elastic to keep tongue in place .they do look really good though just improving

This is my fourth pair of UltraRanges but my first of the VR3. They look fantastic but they do run small. I'm a 13 so I unfortunately can't size up. It feels like they're a 12.75 (if that existed). The toe is just very narrow.

I've been a vans customer for years and this is the first time I've had a bad experience with not only the product, but customer support too. I paid over $100 for a pair of these shoes and after only 5 months, the bottoms have almost completely lost their grips and they are now too slick and slippery to use anymore. I tried to reach out to customer support for an explanation on why this would happen after only 5 months, especially considering they are set at a rather premium cost compared to other vans shoes, and the responses I got back were that this was from "excess use" but then also "normal use" as well? Which one is it?? And regardless of that, why would this be acceptable for an alleged quality product after only 5 months of use?? I also sent picture of my bf's vans that he has had for 3 years and they look BETTER than these ones Safe to say I'm not a happy customer and won't be purchasing again anytime soon. Not only am I out over $100, I'm also out of shoes that I'll now have to find a new company to purchase from. Truly disappointing.

Vans are my go to old school and original ultrarange love them wear them all the time these ones not my favorite tread was gone to fast #Sweepstakes.

The shoes themselves are comfortable, however, my first time wearing these shoes the pull tab ripped off of each shoe. I didn't pull these shoes on while tied, these tabs ripped off while pulling the shoe on while untied. It's shoddy craftsmanship for shoes this expensive and I'm very disheartened by this as I bought myself 2 pairs and my husband one pair. I'm hoping this issue only occurs on the one pair, though, I feel confident this will be an issue in all 3. For the price these shoes shouldn't fall apart with one wear.

My older version of the Ultrarange were the bomb, better materials, and the sizing was actually accurate. I wear a size 13 and have pretty narrow feet. The toe box is super narrow on these and the size is about 1/2 size too small. The uppers are a mix of thin suede and a breathable mesh that does not feel durable for how these shoes are marketed. I was waiting in high anticipation for these to arrive only to be returning them after 5-min of walking around our living room. Super bummed that these are so lame!

I've had them for under 2 weeks and there is already a hole in the fabric next to the laces.

There is a suction sound when waking on wet pavement. It's annoying. Plus the shoe doesn't last that long. Holes in the toe and shoe laces are never long enough, but that's standard with Vans

I found them to be a little tight. I did read the comments stating to go up a half-size if you have a wider foot, but I have a slim foot and usually stay true-to-size, but yes, definitely size-up if you're going to get these. They were comfortable, but not as comfortable as other shoes I own by Vans. I've been wearing Vans for years. I got the dark red/multi shoes, and the Jazz stripe and inside of the shoe is a pink-ish colour, whereas I couldn't see it in the picture and nor is it in the description, which is another reason I'm sending them back. As a guy, I'm really disappointed with that pink on them, it doesn't look good. I would like to return them to a Vans store, but not sure if the email invoice will serve as a receipt for money-back. I may try to get the other version of the UltraRange's with the thinner sole to see if those are any better.

I loved the shoe at first but after only a few months they're garbage, mesh is disintegrating, and the tread is completely gone. Mostly used on dirt trails walking my dogs.

Love Ultra Range shoes. Had purchased two pairs before this. First time I've experienced a quality defect, which now makes a bit of sense since thinking something was off because shoe laces were not same length. Looked a bit closer this weekend and noticed that the last shoe lace hole on right shoe was not aligned correctly. This makes the right shoe uncomfortable to wear when laced all the way up. So, two marks against Vans! First, laces are two different lengths; neither is correct as the short one I can't tie correctly and the other waaay too long. Second, lace hole placed in incorrect position. Now I know why they were discounted. Vans shouldn't discount a poor quality shoe, in the "Friends & Family" deal concept. It's a defect of a shoe that should have been possibly given away to needy individual, perhaps. It shouldn't have been sold to me; or did I miss on the website that products could be of poor quality??

The material never breaks in. They run a half size small. Soles are extremely hard.

These shoes are really cute but they hurt my feet. One shoe feels much tighter than the other and causes me a ton of pain after wearing them. Such a bummer because at first they felt fine, just like they needed a little breaking in. But it just got worse. ):
