These are the best shoe for long days on your feet. Best shoes like these need to be always available, we work, we make. We need consistency. Please bring these back!!

This makers version provides great foot support that is lacking in other Old Skool models. Please bring them back with more color and wide options.

The shoes are really nice and comfy I love them because their nice and fashionable for work but still water resistant and it just breaks me to know it's discontinued.

I've been wearing these shoes for 5 years. I'm a bartender. They're by far the best shoe I've ever worked in. My pair now are entering their last shift. I came to order only to find they're discontinued??? Why? Is it a matter of sales? I've turned these shoes on to so many coworkers who didn't know they existed because they were only available online and not in stores. Please don't break my heart (or my feet) Vans. Bring these beauties back!

These are the only comfortable and my style shoes I've bought for work and I'm having a hard time finding something I like. These were the best shoes.

Killer shoe. Tough and resistant to minor slips and spills. This is my 2nd pair in 1 year. I did put my first pair through the wringer. Hiking, working, walking miles and miles, and they still are good, just very worn in. I need a fresh pair for work. I bartend, and these are great for what I do. Highly recommend these shoes.

On my feet all day. Usually 6 days a week and about 10 hour shifts. The grip on the bottoms is good. No slipping on hair or water. Recommend for people who are on their feet all day. This is going on my 3rd pair. Glad the original look is bad. Prefer these over the pleather look. 10/10 recommend.

I wore my "made for the makers" shoes today for the first time. I was on my feet for 7 hours with very little break. These shoes were super comfortable, well padded. My feet didn't hurt at all. If your work involves standing for long hours, these shoes are for you.

ill be buying my third pair soon. granted this is over like 5 or 6 years of working in them. Ive worked in various forms of industrial manufacturing. some jobs ive been allowed to wear non steel toes but needed safety shoes of some sort. these counted for those. being slip resistant and comfy was all I needed, and they did that. most work shoes ive had to also buy some sort of insert, but not these. they also hold up better than a lot of work shoes ive bought in the past. they also look decent enough to wear out. if I need to be fancier than normal vans or flip flops but not fancy enough for actual nice shoes, these kinda blend in just enough you won't notice they're vans. 10/10. absolute poggers. my only gripe is I cant wear them at some jobs I might have that require steel toes. please make a steel toe version!!

I've had my pair of these for a little over a year now and they've been my most reliable daily driver, especially in the summer when I can't wear my doc martens. As the title says, they survived a sewage flood in the pizza shop I worked at, as well as the job itself! I've hopped around various retail/foodservice jobs and they're still kicking. Before buying these, my feet were always killing me by the end of my shifts, but I've pulled doubles in these bad boys without much pain at all, and my coworkers are always surprised & impressed that they're Vans!

These shoes are lifesavers for service industry. I grew up in ballet so I have bad feet, and I never have any pain working/walking 8+ hour days. I've had my pair since 2018 and am just now looking to replace them, 5yrs later. DEAR SERVERS & BARTENDERS, TAKE CARE OF YOUR FEET with these shoes < 3

Almost every pair of shoes I own are Vans & when they came out with the Made for the Makers line, I had to try them out. I work in a pastry kitchen and these shoes are even comfier than regular Vans. They fit true to your normal size which is also a big plus!

I thought I had found the shoe I would buy again and again when I found the Distruct SF as it fit my wider then normal feet and lasted longer then any other vans I had tried... but it was discontinued by the time they wore out after years of daily ware as a mechanic. After trying a number of MFM models, I found the Old Skool MFM shoe that has the same fit and feel. The only complaint, being trivial, is that the textile portion is more of a dark green-gray rather then the advertised and image depicted black. I'll see if they can last nearly as long. Though gave this shoe 5 stars and I would recommend these to friends, it all would still rely of the shoes longevity.
