Vans

Comfycush Old Skool

Unisex

Love the comfy factor. Nice to have the support — that said, count me among the sad peeps regarding the narrower cut and change of "last". Tried my size, were too tight. Went up a half size, too long / didn't fit right. Sadly, now looking to other brands. Do hope Vans sorts it out with the comfy models. Love the feel, just can't work the fit.

Decent choice if you're looking for a casual shoe to wear. Wouldn't recommend for skating, running, etc. Sole looks rubber on the sides but is dense foam. Outsole is rubber though. Shoes do have tongue straps and insoles have a bit of arch support. If you like the look of the Old Skool but need for support and comfort, go with these.

Much better than the previous “LITE” model. Gum soles give just enough traction & doesn’t wear out fast. Regular Vans are stylish but too heavy and uncomfortable. These are the perfect cross line. However they do tend to run a bit narrow so if you have wide feet go up a size.

If you are wanting to get the Old Skools I highly highly recommend the ComfyCushes instead of the originals. There is a nice squish to the sole--not a TON of support but honestly it is comfortable for my flat feet. The backs of the shoes are also much squishier and don't cut in to your ankles. The profile and size of the shoe is about the same. I really love mine, I do a lot of walking at work and they are great. I swapped out the laces for elastic stretchies so I can just pull them on and go.
