Customer Reviews Vans UltraRange EXO

I got these shoes on the recommendation of a friend who wore them on a two week trip to Australia and New Zealand that involved a lot of hiking and walking. I absolutely love the look of these shoes, and for all black shoes, they're actually pretty easy to clean and keep looking nice. Once they broke in after a few days, they were probably the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I could wear them all day and forget I had them on. Thats why I was so disappointed after just 2 months of regular use, that the sole started coming off and a hole in the mesh formed on the front right area of the right shoe. Because of how well made the shoes seem, I honestly thought, and still think, that it could just be a defective shoe, and that 99% of these shoes probably don't have this issue. But as I found out when I went to the Van's store where I picked these up and said "hey, these probably shouldn't fall apart after 2 months", Van's has no quality guarantee of any sort, so I can't find out if my shoe is just a fluke without buying another pair for full price. Now after 4 months of regular use (because these are still my primary shoes) the mesh on the left side of the right shoe has completely blown out, and the left shoe is still completely fine. I will also say, in more minor gripes, that the laces have gotten very fuzzy, and despite my best efforts, I've never gotten the finger loops on the heels and tongues to unflatten from being squished in the packaging. The shoes have also gotten a bit less comfortable as I've continued wearing them. Over all, I really want to just love these shoes, but without being able to get a replacement for what I still think is just a faulty shoe, I can only say that buying these is a gamble.

Purchased these after loving my original ultra ranges. These run smaller and the soles were pulling away from the toes when I received them.

This shoe is extremely uncomfortable compared to Vans other products. It cuts the ankle frequently and would be better if there was a cushioned tongue. Wouldn't recommend anyone to buy this, if they plan on being active. I read the reviews on this and should've listened.

However, these shoes aren't tight at all and somehow they still rub blisters on my heels. Otherwise, super cute!

Shoes were to narrow. To tight

They aren't really that well madeI had higher hopes for them based on the reputation of the companywill not buy again

ZERO STARS. These shoes are great for standing ONLY. Walking in them is excruciating!! Highly unsatisfied and will return. 2 thumbs down.

I bought men's shoes because I liked the style of these. I have super narrow feet and these fit super tight. I was so surprised especially being men's shoes.

I have been wearing UltraRange shoes since they came out and loved them. I recently purchased another pair (thinking quality and fit would be the same). I was wrong. The pair I received fits terrible and puts extreme pressure on the top of your foot. Even with no laces. The shoe is simply un-wearable. I have been a long time vans consumer and never has an issue so I figured I would reach out to corporate. I I did reach out...They basically told me to go pound sand and there is nothing they can do. Please do not waste your money on these shoes.

I bought these for work and wore them around 5 times before the mesh ripped. They also made a weird clicking noise near the toe every time I took a step.

Have worn these shoes a handful of times in the year since purchased. I got them in white. Looks as if they are stained where the leather meets the cloth. So they appear dirty all the time. Was thinking it could be glue perhaps. Super comfortable. Just disappointing especially for the price I paid.

When I first tried these on they felt comfortable. After wearing them for an hour my ankles were sore, then my friend gasped, oh my gosh you're bleeding! The high pull tab was rubbing so badly I was bleeding. I was out of town and didn't have many options. I tried moleskin and bandaids to protect my skin. The pull tab wore right through them. It was awful. A week later and I still have scabs. An absolute waste of money.

Literally wore them twice and the sole of my left shoe started to fall off. Poorly manufactured, had high hopes, greatly disappointed.

Kinda bought them to work at a job thay required me to move around a lot come to find out they don't fit my feet... can't return them because well.. they won't take em back

Do you have any plans to replenish stock in certain colors in certain sizes? I keep getting advertisements for a shoe that I really want but my size is NEVER AVAILABLE

I bought these before I went on a trip to Seattle knowing that I would be walking a lot, and my other vans are completely worn out (I'm a teacher and on my feet a lot). I figured this would be a good time to buy some cool looking but comfy shoes to use on the trip and then after the trip. After walking around for about an hour, the crease in the shoe over my left big toe started to stab into my toe knuckle. I was limping and wincing in pain. I've had uncomfortable shoes before, but sheesh, these are like torture devices. They were uncomfortable (very painful) and a waste of money. I was forced to look goofy and wear either my running shoes or my hiking boots around the city the rest of the trip.

I've been buying these shoes for years. The soles are rigid and flat with this year's lot. Quality has diminished. I know it is cost saving for the company to use less quality material, but I bought these based on comfort. Now there's no point to buy them. I am sad I'm being forced to not stay a loyal vans customer.

Bought these shoes from one of your retailers in Norway. Used them about 15 times when i play frisbeegolf and now both shoes have ripped several places in the thin mesh fabric on the side. Made a complaint to the retailer, they said Vans said these is caused my normal wear and tear!!! Shameful customer service by Vans and it's like a scam to sell shoes that is broken after being worn 15 times. DO NOT BUY! EXTREMLY POOR QUALITY!!

I typically love the UltraRange shoes and have several pairs. However, the plastic part that covers the toes make a weird popping sound every time I take a step. After about 2 minutes of wearing them I have to take them off because it drives me crazy. I refuse to wear them at this point and wasted $100. Lesson learned.

I've worn vans for 20+ years. This is by far the worst quality shoe they've ever made. I've worn them about 2 hours around the house and walking and the toe is already completely seperated. Seems like a majority of reviews say the same thing here.

I've been buying these shoes for a few years now. I'm not sure what's happened to the quality, but these are the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever worn. Legit hurts my feet when I try to walk in them. Maybe I just received a crappy pair but if I were you, I'd buy with caution. Unfortunately I think this will be my last pair of vans and I'll switch to another brand :-/

Make your shoes shaped liked an actual foot and I'll buy them. Bracken take your shoe off, trace it on a white piece of paper, then take an insole out of a pair of vans and set it on top of your foot. It's a genius idea and I just gave it to you for free. Your welcome. Travus

This sneaker literally stated ripping in the same exact place on both sneakers within 2 months. They are complete garbage. After reading some of the reviews I was hopeful. They're worse than I could imagine. I've been wearing Vans for years. Never again. Moving on to a better quality sneaker.

I really wanted some comfier shoes with a little more support since I like the Van's look so much. These ain't it. I'm sure someone with calloused ankles or ankle guards are ok with them but not myself. I'm returning them promptly.

The sole is so stiff, there is no cushion like my older ultraranges. Breaks my heart. The shoe has no structure, looks horrible. I will only buy them if they start making them the way they used to. Cmon Vans don't make me lose total hope :(
