I want to love these. As long as I don't actually need to walk in them... they're fine. Even with inserts, they just aren't comfortable. I have very flat feet and the widest part is at my big toe joint, which is where these are the most narrow.

I usually have no problem with my shoes fitting tight because I have narrow feet. These shoes were way to tight. I should have gone up a size or two.

I don't know if it is just me but when I wear the shoes they rub on the back of my heels and cause a great deal of pain. Other than the fact that I have to wear bandaids when I wear the shoes they look really cool and are quite comfortable.

I normally wear a 9.5, but they were out of that size. So I went to their sizing guide just to see what it says, measured my foot, and it came back with size 7 for me!! They had that size in stock and free returns so I decided to give it a shot. Of course the shoe was ridiculously small for me, a 9.5 would have been right. Shoes seemed great other than the size. Vans, fix your size guide.

I order vans every year for my grandson and have them shipped to Arizona because I live in Florida although this time I was having some trouble on the site and it kept saying that I had no orders in my box so I tried it again the next day, and I had the same trouble lo and behold a week later one pair shows up at my house in Florida and the next day another pair showed up of the same shoe Thinking I did not do it correctly on the site I sold my grandson the money so he could go get his own in Arizona. Now I have to return a pair and also ship one to him. I've really never had a problem in the past but for some reason there was something wrong with the site. I don't know if anybody else has complained but like I said, I've never had a problem before , we love your products and of course we will order them again I just wanted to give you my key back. Thank you sincerely Dorothy BLAZIER.

I have many pairs of vans and in general I do like them. However, I find some models to be more in between sizes than other. Otherwise great shoes!

The shore are not very comfortable and they have an odd brown seam mixed into the signature white line on the shoe.

I absolutely love the look of these shoes. The price and shipping were great. I just wish they had the padding that Asics and Skechers have. I can't wear them every day because they are too hard on my feet, especially the front part.

Love my new shoes, but... nothing ruins the vibe more than receiving an offer from Vans the next day for the same shoes priced $10 less. Thanks?

I ordered my regular size, size 8 but these did not fit; they're too tight in the toe area so sadly I have to return. They're a nice color and material and I don't want to wait another month to receive a slightly bigger size but oh well. I should have sized up. No one mentioned that in the comments.

The color is faded definitely not my favorite. Fits true to size. I wish they looked like the picture

Disappointed that the inside of the shoe is leather around your ankle. It rubs on your skin and is uncomfortable if wearing low socks. Returned them

Look great! Is there a hack on how to widen them, or do I have to be uncomfortable until they wear in?

I bought a size 7 because my daughter was outgrowing her size 6.5 Vans Old Skool. These ended up being smaller than her 6.5 pair. Unfortunately, I live overseas, so I didn't find this out until too late and I can't return them. Money wasted.

My bride loved the style, but after they arrived, when she tried them on with and without socks, they were just too tight, L&W. She gave them to a young lady that they fit and she is really pumped to have the style and fit. So the purchase ended up alright after all. If Old Skool styles run small, put a disclaimer on the site.

I like the style and how warm the shoes are. However, the seam on the back of my heel is pretty large and kinda rubs my heel. Also, the shoes are a bit heavy.

These are cute, but they feel stiff and clunky on unfortunately. I don't think they fit well with the anatomy of my feet because the tongues or the openings of the shoes dig into my feet as I walk. Also they came a bit scuffed and dirty. :( really like the style otherwise.

The shoes are cute and they are comfortable. My only issues is that the pair I received does not flow in the dark and that's the main reason why I ordered them.
