Customer Reviews Vans Old Skool

Very cute shoe but also very uncomfortable.

These shoes are narrow. Very narrow. Vans has changed their sizing. they used to be wider. It is not so simple to say Men's 9 Women's 10.5. Women generally have narrower feet.

My daughter has flat, wide feet. She so much wanted these to fit because they are adorable. Alas, they didn't and we returned them.

These are cute unisex VANs. (I'm a woman who wears a Ladies 12/13 and purchased a Men's 12.) I wish they fit! Unfortunately, they are very narrow at the ball of the foot, and the seam at the bottom of the tongue (below the laces) bites into the top of my foot. Sadly, I'll be returning them.

Vans, fix your quality and fit! I would like to go on the public record to say that Vans have always been and are still pretty narrow--especially for a unisex/men's shoe. I wear a women's 6, and I just cannot comfortably wear any style of Vans. I put up with scrunched feet and blisters as a teen, but no longer. Even Converse and my Adidas Superstars have a wider fit, which is saying something. Also, my last pair of Vans had a problem with durability. In less than a year, the soles wore through to the point of having a hole under the ball of the foot, and parts of the upper came undone from the sole. A similarly loved and comparable pair of pre-Nike Converse has lasted 3 additional years, although they are dirty and starting to wear unevenly... BUT STILL.

I love how they look but they killed my feet and I wasn't willing to wear them for two weeks straight to break them in, I had to return them :(

I wanted to love these shoes because I love the design and color. I ordered an 8.5 and a 9 since I'm normally a 9-9.5 and I read that these run a tab bit large. Both sizes fit, but they were both uncomfortable. Whenever I walked, the crease at the toe dug deep into the top of my foot. It may have gone away after "breaking them in," but I didn't want to take that risk. I ended up returning both sizes and going with the Vans Authentic style instead since they were way more comfortable.

Great looking show but the footbed is plain and uncomfortable. Just another cheap skate shoe, c'mon manufactures, you can do better.

I purchased these as an alternative to Chucks as Chucks have always been too narrow and unsupportive for me. I wear a size 9 in running shoes, but between an 8.5 and a 9 for casual shoes. I tried an 8.5 Women's in these and found they were still a smidgen too long. There was also a problem with how the top of the shoe put pressure on my big toe when I walked in them. The way the front of the shoe folded as I walked would hit directly on the toenail of my big toe and push down on it uncomfortably. I have never had this problem with other shoes. I will say, they are comfortably wide, cushioned, and look amazing, however, they did not fit my foot well.

I have a pair of these Vans in pink and love them, but in leather, not so much. First, the leather isn't very good quality, very wrinkly, and the white looks kind of yellow in most lights. Too bad, they were very comfortable.

These are really cute, but where the lacing and the toe box meet, they were very stiff, narrow, and painful even on the first try. There is also zero support. I am sorry to have to return these.

These shoes are so much fun, but, if you have older feet they will kill you. I gave mine away after wearing them once. Now a sixteen year old is really loving them.

Nice shoe, good-looking shoe. Haven't had Vans in some time, maybe over a decade. Was drawn to these for their price and nostalgia. Unfortunately shoe is a very tight fit, and very difficult to put on fully-laced. All my other brands fit fine at the same size, but not Vans. They're also not as wide as should be, and pinch my pinky toe. Shame, it's a nice shoe otherwise.

Always liked Vans but the this pair doesn\'t feel as comfortable on the feet. True there is no arch support but prior purchases have always felt softer on the soles of my feet. Somehow missing a few layers of cushion on this model.

Made in China? I love VANS Old School except when they are made in China. My last VANS Old School were made in the phillippines, they were quality unlike these. Chinese don't fit the same and don't wear the same. I am not happy with this pair of Old Schools. Do you carry any Old School VANS made in other countries if so I would gladly like to know. Your service has however been great. I recieved the shoes very quickly, and you gave me great communication. Thanks For That

I normally wear a women's 7 or 7 1/2, I got these in a women's 8 and they were so tight on my toes :( I have to wear bandaids on the back of my ankle when I need to wear them for work but I think I'm going to have to retire them after just a month of using because it's too uncomfortable and tedious to wear. The look is beautiful and sleek though, just wish they were more true to size and comfortable. Unfortunately I wore them to work and can't return.

No arch support

I feel cheated. This item was listed as Final Sale, but should also have indicated that it was not true to size.
