I really like these shoes, this is my third pair. The comfort - is maybe average at best (they're skate shoes, they're flat, no support). They last a reasonably long time - I'd say average on wear and tear. But above average on cool!

Great shoe, very comfortable. Takes a little while to break in and the leather around the heel might be tough at first but once the shoes are worn then you'll be very satisfied.

I like this shoe a lot. Haven't had them long and have received several compliments; they get noticed! I find then very comfortable for this type shoe, but they feel better to me if I wear thin socks. Own 3 pair of Vans and love them all.

I'm a 6' 5" male in my 20s who has difficulty finding kick around shoes in a size 15! These are exactly as described, old school!

Shoes were great besides back. The back of the shoe curves into the back of your ankle and cuts it although after a few days of wearing the shoes you won't feel it any more.

This shoe is something you should purchase. They are comfortable, durable, and stylish. I've bought a pair two years ago and wore them on an everyday bases to school and I still wear them. They are still in a nice condition. I recently bought three more pairs in different colors to take to college with me and know I won't need to buy another pair of Vans in an immense amount of time.

Painful to break in and got scarred at my Achilles' heel on one foot. Otherwise, it is now a comfortable sneaker and I love how they look! I have wide feet and I didn't have trouble with the width of the shoe. True to size.

Purchased a black pair. Looks exactly how it does in the picture. No complaints other than it is not true to size. In comparison to my other pair of Vans (which are all size 7.5), this pair is very small. My old Vans appear to be huge sitting next to these. But I have a feeling they will break in over time.

They're beautiful, but the line of material around the outside above the sole is already starting to crack and wear after about a month. Love the shoes & they look great, but you'll be replacing them after 6 months.

Obviously, this is the classic skate shoe. However, this shoe is as basic as they come, very little support, very little cushion. More style than function.

Old Skool cool! These sneaks look great with jeans or shorts. Great for walkin' around town or just hangin' by the beach. Love 'em!

I've always liked classic Vans. Some of the materials are on the cheap side. The faux leather inner padded collar feels like plastic. Though the soles are good, solid, and feel like they will put up with abuse. Overall pretty happy.

Been a fan of these shoes for as long as I can remember. Love the style of them and they never seem to get old to me. Whenever one pair wears out, I always have to get a new pair.

First time buyer, they are comfortable wide enough for my big size 15 feet.

Love these shoes. Classic skater/surfer look. Construction feels solid and durable. If you want more comfort over style, I would recommend Van's Chukka low, they have a padded tongue and still look sick.

i was so happy i found what i thought was the same white leather vans that i had a few years back but they were not like i thought they would be the style is great but they rub the back of my ankles and sides of my feet where my bone is and gave me a blister. im so dissapointed unfortunately i cannot return i wore them twice out and about thinking that they might need broken in a little bit and even loosened up the shoestrings to see if it would help but nope . I guess its just somethin about the leather i own several pairs of vans and these are the only ones i cannot wear .

Well.... if I were looking for grey which I wasn't. They would be perfect. According to the picture the shoes look beige and cream color. I took them out of the box and they look grey.

They are very pretty but I can't say they're the comfiest pair ever. They pinched the back of my feet through the socks and I had to bandage up that friction point in order to walk in these without hurting myself.

Just not impressed with the shoe style. They're okay but I wouldn't recommend them or buy them again.

Correct order but the shoes were bent out of shape in the box. I am not sure how, maybe bad placement inside the box.

They run a bit small so if ordering get a half size bigger.

I was shocked that the entire sneaker wasn't suede. My other are. I'll keep them but very disappointing
