Customer Reviews Vans Lowland CC

I ordered the White/True White and was so excited when I received them. Love the design, white/black/grays go with everything and especially suit my casual wardrobe. However when I tried them on they were ridiculously narrow in the toe box. The length of the shoe was true to size, but the width! I consider my feet to be of narrow-average width and have never experienced a shoe that was too narrow before. It was a tight squeeze, but I figured I would try breaking them in and maybe they'd stretch out. So the next day I put them on and walked to the store and back. After the first half mile my pinky toe and heel on the right foot were starting to hurt. After the first mile, I felt the blisters forming, the skin was loose and really tender. I was hobbling by mile 1.5, and another half a mile later I was home and kicked them off for sweet relief. My left foot felt alright, it was just my right foot, and my feet have never had asymmetrical issues in any other shoes so I may have gotten a defective right shoe. Lemon or not, both of the shoes were uncomfortably tight. I didn't expect to have to break in Vans. I have a 2 year old pair of Old Skools that were comfortable right out of the box and have served me well. Despite the great style I would not recommend these at all.

I wanted to love these, but they are far too narrow. I have average width feet, but these squeeze you in the toe box area.

I get a lot of compliments when I wear these shoes.

These look great in person (both white versions) As a life long Vans fan/shoe owner these are now a must in my shoe rotation. I hope these stick around like some of their other classics. As others have mentioned, a little tighter width-wise but not enough to bother me as they stretch over time with wear. Unless you have really wide feet I don’t see these being a big issue.

Man, I just don't know why people have so many issues with footwear (socks included). These shoes fit me just fine, and are comfortable. Look fantastic too.

I ordered the white, all leather in 8.5 because I have the ones with green and pink and they fit perfectly in this size but the white ones were too loose and wide. I exchanged them for a size 8 (my usual size) and they were clearly too small right out of the box. They are too small all around. So, I will be returning those and look for something else.

Women’s sizes run at least a half size, if not a full size, too big. I normally wear 11, occasionally 10.5, so I got 11 in these and they’re huge. They look a bit less flattering on than I expected, too.

What is there to say??? Will I try another size? Not sure.
