Customer Reviews Vans Old Skool

My son has really flat feet and wears orthotics in his shoes. He has never been able to find casual shoes that he could wear. He absolutely loves these. The shoes are a little taller so his orthotics fit! He was thrilled.

Excellent shoe! Great fit, great look. It's perfect.

Love these shoes! A little stiff right out of the box but I expected that. I don't think they'll need very much break in at all though. I'm a 6.5 and these were spot on. I've also received tons of compliments on them. And as usual, Zappos was wicked fast in getting these to me.

Love Vans but these were cut a little too high around the ankle for me. Very comfortable as all Vans are but these had to go back.

I am so glad I took the plunge and bought these in red leather. I already had the leather dress blues Old Skool Vans which I loved and the red ones were the natural progression of the same. I wanted something a bit more than casual and either pair fits the bill. Very comfortable and with the Van name, you know they are going to be sturdy too. I consider myself eclectic and like to draw attention to myself. I think these might do it. I think some alternative colored laces might be in order too.

Love these stylish Vans, they had been discontinued by Vans. Thank you Zappos for having them in stock. They are comfy, stylish & oh so cute.

Great shoes. I have had a few of these over the years, and these are some of my favorite Vans. Word of warning though, these need to be broken in a little at first. The padded area in the heel rubs and can blister you. I recommend not lacing them too tight.

I bought these for my 17 year old son and he loves them!! He hasn't worn another pair of shoes since he got these. They fit him perfectly, and stand up to daily wear. Not just a typical pair of sneakers..these are great shoes to wear with any color jeans or with shorts. I would highly recommend them.

I purchased this for my son, and he loves it! It arrived the next day as promised, and I loved that!

The Old Skool is a little high and stiff in the back, so be prepared for some possible blisters or rubbing when you first wear these. Other than that, they're very comfortable. Zappos has more colors and sizes than the Vans physical store, and unlike the Vans online store, you can feel good knowing that if you ordered the wrong size, it's free to exchange. Thanks Zappos!

Love these shoes. I own 6 pairs of Vans and wear them until they are so worn out. My black pair lasted 6 years and it was time to get a new pair. I am glad the quality is exactly the same as always.

First thing I have to say is, Zappos is amazing! I ordered these shoes yesterday (December 23rd) and received them today at noon. I can't say enough about Zappos customer service, they are the blueprint for the rest of the retail world! Now the Vans, they are like wearing a pair of your favorite slippers, so comfortable right out of the box just like I remembered them to be. I have been waiting for Vans to put out this shoe in black and red for a long time. I can't be happier with this purchase!

I'm ol'surfer who prefers Vans Shoes from Zappos. Service & Price are key. Old Skool has the fit and comfort I need after doing the rock dance at Rincon Point. More than any other Vans model I've found. The Oldman Of Da Sea

I love these shoes! I feel they run true to size, but they do take a little time to break in, the heel of the shoe is a little hard so I had to wear a band-aid on each heel the first few times I wore the shoe to avoid blisters. All and all it was worth it! They look great with skinny jeans!

Really like the way these shoes look and feel. They run a little big so I had to return my first pair and get a smaller size. After that they were great.

Love these shoes...the classic look and the comfort is awesome. Can't go wrong with a pair of Old Skool Vans!

Great shoes! Been wearing them for a long time and will stay a dedicated customer for years to come.

Fits perfect, my son loves these shoes. They were a little wide, which is why we chose them.

Great shoe and even better customer service. Didn't like a particular color and a replacement was sent out before the other was returned. And no new charges on my card! Thanks again. A+ experience

My son really likes these shoes- he is hard on shoes and these seem to be holding up well.

They're Vans! You have to break them in a bit, but then they are like an old glove. You get them more for the style, don't expect for them to be your running shoes.

My son was so pleased with these shoes, as well as Zappos great service, that he talked about them at great length. He was so impressed that my son-in law ordered a pair for himself. Both are really enjoying their Vans!

I got these as a gift for my husband and he loved them. They look great and they arrived in 2 days.
