I have about 40 Old Skools. I have a 22.5cm long foot. I always wear M4.5/W6 Old Skools. These were tight, short, and narrow. Why?? I ordered a half size up and they worked. On the good side, the shoes are beautiful, the hot pink sole is excellent and the canvas is durable but flexible. The suede on the toe seems fake. Please do not compromise the quality of your materials!

Really cute shoe and it fits well, but I find the shoes too heavy too be comfortable. I prefer something more lightweight that moves more quietly and effortlessly

The color and embroidery are beautiful. The only problem I have with them is that one shoe makes a weird noise when I walk. I might try using baby powder or something else to stop the noise. Otherwise, I highly recommend them! They are true to size and even fit wider feet.

I LOVE these shoes, unfortunately when I ordered my usual size (5.5) they ran a little big for me. So the shoe fits a little big, but I love them nonetheless!

I love the Bot shoes but I wish all of them were white with the minimal color accents like the Pop Pin version has. Vans makes the best shoes with great design. I love them!

The shoes look cool and fit well but the description makes no mention of the nylon side panels. Interested how they will hold up compared to the canvas, suede and leather versions I've had over the years.

Well.... if I were looking for grey which I wasn't. They would be perfect. According to the picture the shoes look beige and cream color. I took them out of the box and they look grey.

I ordered my usual size and I feel like these fit small. They were really tight in the toe box area. I returned them. I loved the color, but disliked how the shoe felt.

The color of the shoe is a solid brown not two tone. Came unlaced, creases in the shoe material that cannot be fixed. Poor packaging the box even was dented.

Shoes are well made, heavier canvas than standard old skools. Color is not like the picture. Much lighter and more purple than shown. I had to return them because I won't wear purple shoes.

So the shoe itself looks pretty cool. Runs kinda wide though and you have to wear thicker higher socks because the heel of the shoe rubs your heel.

Specifically referring to the 'pesto' colorway. I just received my order and the color is very different than the photos. The shoe is actually a flat military green, not the rich green in the photos. Pretty disappointed.

I got a pair of pink. The color is so petty and love the look. . But they're not comfy after wearing them for a couple hours. Not enough support and you need to wear thick socks ( maybe in winter) so your feet won't rub the material inside of the shoes.

Great look, horrible comfort and fit stitching so thick that it rubs top of toes on inside while walking. I have several pairs of vans and NONE. ever felt this bad. Probably wind up donating these to Goodwill!

Would have liked to been able to provide a review for others wanting context to the shoe. 10 business days later and still no shoe.

I was pretty disappointed and surprised that my shoes arrived with a ripped up sole. They also look slightly used on the inside :( . They are otherwise very cute, so it's shame they were damaged. Will have to return for a hopefully better pair.

The quality of popular brands can sometimes be inconsistent. That's what happened here. These looked like they were made from cheaper materials than other Vans I've seen in the mall, etc. They looked like $20 shoes. Flimsy structure and low quality material, and logos looked a little strange. I had to double check the website I used to make sure it wasn't a scam.
