It was recommended to us that we get Vans for my 13yr old son who Mountain Bikes. We've tried several options from the Brand, but they're all too narrow for him. Too bad since we really like the way they look. These suede options were my favorite, but alas, it wasn't to be.

I’m usually a size 11 but these seemed a little big . I would consider the 10.5 instead . I have thin feet

I’m usually a size 11 and because there’s not a lot of padding in these you could probably easily fit into a 10.5 depending on the thickness of the socks you wear or if you use them for skateboarding I would maybe do a 10.5 Love the color way with khakis

Nice sneakers at a good price. The only complaint is the shoe laces are much too long. My son has normal medium to almost wide feet an yet once laced there is almost 12" of lace on both left and right of sneaker. I was going to return or at least call to inquire only to find that my son wore the shoes to school tucking the excess lace into the side of the sneaker. I know need to buy a new pair of laces.

I am a Vans shoe collector, I am a fan of every single model! The only thing about this specific pair that I am not 100%, they look ''more green'' on the picture that they actually are. So they are not exactly the color I wanted but I will still wear them. I will have to buy another pair when I'll find the exact green I was loo0king for :P

I bought both the Sk8-Hi and the Slip-ons. The Sk8 are really attractive and unique looking shoes and I'm almost afraid to wear them and dirty them up. The slip-ons are ok, but I didn't like the textured design on the sides of the soles, I thought it made them look off color and dirty in the light.

Very nice sneakers but the trim around the ankle dig into my ankle. I had to return, no way I was going to wear them. I did reorder 2 different styles.

I found sz10 sk8hi shoes to be a little big, so ordered sz9.5 this time. Upon arrival I thought they were too tight and wished I had ordered the sz10, but after wearing them, I found them to be quite comfortable and I developed no foot pain. I was expecting discomfort while breaking them in due to the tight fit, but it never happened! If I had to find dislikes with the shoes, it would only be the sizes running a little small compared to other models and the lack of a tongue retainer. Neither is a real issue. I'm happy with the shoes.

I really like them a lot. I bought a 7.5boys for my Womens 9 foot however, they run bigger than Nike so I should have bought a 7boys. Also, I wish they had some arch support. Other than that I really like them.

Very cute vans and I got them at a great price. The only thing I don't like is that I am used to the comfy Cush insole and this does not have it. If it had a Comfy cush it would have five stars.

I'm waiting for a cut on my heel to heal. Strange situation, the inside heel rubbed on my heel causing a tear in my sink. Yes I was wearing socks. Strange. I don't want to give up and return them yet. I wanna give them another chance. Great aesthetic design.

Fit and size were good. The color looks like almost all burgundy, not 2 toned as pictured but still love them. That's the only reason I gave them 4.

I ordered my normal size (9.5). Too small, especially in toebox. Ordered size 10. Was still cramped in toebox on my right foot, but after couple days loosened up some and is now generally ok. Toebox is more natural than Converse Chucks but still bit too narrow. The shoes are pretty heavy and stiff but are more or less zero drop and allow natural movement. Timeless style.

Not for me. They look great, but the sole is so stiff and thick that I could not take a single comfortable step.

I love the design, but I thought the shoe was blue and white. As in the front as well being navy blue, but it was black. Other than that, the shoe is cute and comfortable.
