Customer Reviews Vans Rowley Squares

Get Them! Wow... these shoes come broken in. When I opened the box and did a perfect kickflip. You need to buy theses shoes. They barely rip. GET A HALF SIZE LARGER!!!!!!!!!!

Rowley Squares - I think these shoes can be put in one simple word: perfect! They’re soft, don't rip too fast, and you can feel everything with each step.

Awesome - Great shoe. Grips good. Really great arch support. Feels nice while skating. Wear out quick.

I got these shoes about two months ago they lasted pretty close to the two months. The toe of the shoe has ripped and the sole on the toe is worn down quite a bit; and the grip has not worn down too much. Other than the toe this is an amazing shoe.

Rowley Squares - Haven't skated them much yet, but the grip is great, similar to other Vans. Classic Vans style with extra strength. It seems like they'll take a beating. They're also thin shoes as usual, but synthetic materials add a bit of heat. Great skate shoes, plus they're hippie friendly! The arch seemed a bit odd at first, but it helps quite a bit. Definitely order a half size larger, I can fit into 9.5 and 10, but ordered a 10.5 and it fits perfectly.

Skating the squares - These shoes have THE BEST BOARD FEEL, IT’S INDESCRIBABLE. They have really high arches, so they might feel weird, but they'll break in. Vegan material used in the shoe isn't very durable at all. The micro waffle design is VERY grippy. Shoes don’t last long, but it’s worth the grip and board feel, but this shoe is 1 size smaller than marked.

Nice - Probably the only Vans with a layered toe cap. It has thin and hard padding. It has some kind of oiled sued (fake) on the inner heel of the shoe (really comfy). Magic sole, it’s thin, the tread is durable and it’s cushioned. Loads of board feel. The laces do shred fast, but the elastic straps hooking the tongue to the shoe are hard enough so that the shoes don’t fling off you foot. A little small (1/2 size).

Listen if you skateboard - I've been skating for almost six years now and I decided to give the squares a try. Figured I'd like ‘em because I've skated Vans plenty and loved them. Some things to listen to if you skateboard: •Get a half size up!!! •Either my toes are killing me or I have to put athletic tape on my heels as to prevent them from being rubbed off. •Decent board feel, nothing like slip ons of course. No heel bruising with these, and you don’t lack in board feel due to thicker insoles. I'm gonna order another pair once my next check comes in, half size up though. Other than that, it’s a great shoe. Definitely worth getting a pair at least once. They feel great on your feet, and so far they are great for skating.

I’m walkin' - Some people are saying to go a half size larger and, for me, it was good advice. Normally I'm 11, but 11.5 is much better in these. I don't skate, but these are real nice for walking around. Though sometimes my feet feel a tad warm, but I don't care cause they keep the cows... great vegan shoe. Brown w/ orange stitch. Patriotic blue w/ red stitch so go Hillary!

Skate shoe - The sad truth is: Vans isn’t really making any good shoes anymore, but these break the streak. They are pretty durable. Oh so light, grippy, and flexible. Wear heel covering socks because these will cut a hole in your heel! Tread fades fast. All together good skate shoe (for skating). Get a +1/2 size.

Rowley Squares - This shoe IS FOR SKATEBOARDERS. The reason I say is because they are functional in every way imaginable for every trick imaginable. The Micro Waffle Sole and the new slim design are great for feeling your board and flicking right. The sole is designed in such a way that there are minimal heel bruises. When I first got these shoes in the black/neutral grey/white color way, I wanted to try them out. So I went outside and learned THREE new tricks. WOW! If you want the look of Vans for fashion, get the Old Skools. But, if you ARE a dedicated skateboarder, and want to get serious stuff done, then look no further. Oh, and remember to keep the shoe goo handy. The vegan materials aren't the strongest, but don't let it keep you from getting this shoe! Two thumbs up.

Rowley Squares review - Great shoe, highly recommended. If you’re used to a regular flat insole, then it will feel weird at first, but is actually really great once broken in.

What to expect with Vans Rowley Squares - Rowley Squares are nice shoes but they feel VERY weird, until they break in. Then they feel very comfortable, only problem is that it doesn't have a lot of padding. So if you hit areas on the top of your foot expect it to feel like you are barefoot. These shoes have very good grip. You really do feel like you are glued to your skateboard. The Ollie pattern wears out pretty fast but it is still good. This shoe does only have a double stitched toe-cap but it lasted 6 months. The toe cap is really strong; trust me because I do half-flips in to caspers often. These shoes only had been replaced with laces once and I skate everyday for more than 3 hours. These shoes lasted for half a year. All you need is two pairs of these shoes and you are set for the year. These are even better than the Rowley XL2. This shoe is REALLY great!

So Freakin Comfortable - I bought these for skating and decided to wear them around a week first to break them in (which I would recommend). The problem is I don’t want to take 'em off. They are great for skating. The Micro waffle gives great board feel. They are a little stiff at first, but that wears out in a week or two. Highly recommend them. Def buy a half size up. Vans sucks at counting.

Comfortable shoes - These are very comfortable and I would wear them to sleep if not to get the sheets dirty. Order a half size up. I did and they are a perfect fit.

Good Lookin, Bad Skatin - These shoes are definitely cool looking, but they are the worst skating shoes I have ever owned. Too narrow, not enough padding and no real support around the toes. I really wanted to have a vegan shoe that I could skate with. Rowley, please try again and get it right.

Sweet - These shoes are awesome they feel good and look good over all I would suggest these to people.

Great Buy!! These shoes are great, super comfortable, look great. Definitely worth the money.

These shoes are small, but are look cool. When you’re wearing Rowley Sqaures the first week it feels like there is a ball in the middle of your foot. After that the shoe is extremely comfortable and I highly recommend it for skating. This shoe is really small so you should think about get a size bigger. After 3 months with these shoes the only thing that started to rip are the laces.

Loves his Vans - My hubby loves his shoes. He was a little weirded out by how wide and fat the shoes are but they ARE skate shoes and I had to explain this him. After wearing them-HE LOVES THEM and they look really cool too. We got the oxblood red color. A lot less red in person-our only complaint.

Sick shoes - These are one of the best pairs of skate shoes I have ever owned. I usually skate 4-5 hours a day and I have owned these for 2 weeks and they still have not ripped!

Squares rock - I skated Squares for one month and the toecap gets hacked up like everyone says they don't last long but, their still cool. If you’re not made of money don't buy them, they don't last long, and don't skate them with new grip.

Rowley squares! The shoe is amazing, it has a great basic look with the white stripe, and is an amazing skate shoe, I've never had a Rowley I didn't like and this one didn't dissapoint me......I love the micro waffle grip to.

I bought these shoes in black/gold color and at first they’re not that comfortable and your sock goes all the way to the bottom of your foot and its tight around the pinky area, but after that they’re ok. What I really liked was where your foot curves on the inside part, it had some stuff there which made it comfortable. I also like that they are really light so I couldn’t tell they were on.

2 words GOEFF ROWLEY. Any shoe from him is good so when I skated in these brand new they felt like they were already broken in, too good to be true. BUY THEM!
