Customer Reviews Vans Ultrarange Exo

I bought these for work and wore them around 5 times before the mesh ripped. They also made a weird clicking noise near the toe every time I took a step.

Have worn these shoes a handful of times in the year since purchased. I got them in white. Looks as if they are stained where the leather meets the cloth. So they appear dirty all the time. Was thinking it could be glue perhaps. Super comfortable. Just disappointing especially for the price I paid.

When I first tried these on they felt comfortable. After wearing them for an hour my ankles were sore, then my friend gasped, oh my gosh you're bleeding! The high pull tab was rubbing so badly I was bleeding. I was out of town and didn't have many options. I tried moleskin and bandaids to protect my skin. The pull tab wore right through them. It was awful. A week later and I still have scabs. An absolute waste of money.

Literally wore them twice and the sole of my left shoe started to fall off. Poorly manufactured, had high hopes, greatly disappointed.

Kinda bought them to work at a job thay required me to move around a lot come to find out they don't fit my feet... can't return them because well.. they won't take em back

Do you have any plans to replenish stock in certain colors in certain sizes? I keep getting advertisements for a shoe that I really want but my size is NEVER AVAILABLE

I bought these before I went on a trip to Seattle knowing that I would be walking a lot, and my other vans are completely worn out (I'm a teacher and on my feet a lot). I figured this would be a good time to buy some cool looking but comfy shoes to use on the trip and then after the trip. After walking around for about an hour, the crease in the shoe over my left big toe started to stab into my toe knuckle. I was limping and wincing in pain. I've had uncomfortable shoes before, but sheesh, these are like torture devices. They were uncomfortable (very painful) and a waste of money. I was forced to look goofy and wear either my running shoes or my hiking boots around the city the rest of the trip.

I've been buying these shoes for years. The soles are rigid and flat with this year's lot. Quality has diminished. I know it is cost saving for the company to use less quality material, but I bought these based on comfort. Now there's no point to buy them. I am sad I'm being forced to not stay a loyal vans customer.

Bought these shoes from one of your retailers in Norway. Used them about 15 times when i play frisbeegolf and now both shoes have ripped several places in the thin mesh fabric on the side. Made a complaint to the retailer, they said Vans said these is caused my normal wear and tear!!! Shameful customer service by Vans and it's like a scam to sell shoes that is broken after being worn 15 times. DO NOT BUY! EXTREMLY POOR QUALITY!!

I typically love the UltraRange shoes and have several pairs. However, the plastic part that covers the toes make a weird popping sound every time I take a step. After about 2 minutes of wearing them I have to take them off because it drives me crazy. I refuse to wear them at this point and wasted $100. Lesson learned.

I've worn vans for 20+ years. This is by far the worst quality shoe they've ever made. I've worn them about 2 hours around the house and walking and the toe is already completely seperated. Seems like a majority of reviews say the same thing here.

I've been buying these shoes for a few years now. I'm not sure what's happened to the quality, but these are the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever worn. Legit hurts my feet when I try to walk in them. Maybe I just received a crappy pair but if I were you, I'd buy with caution. Unfortunately I think this will be my last pair of vans and I'll switch to another brand :-/

Make your shoes shaped liked an actual foot and I'll buy them. Bracken take your shoe off, trace it on a white piece of paper, then take an insole out of a pair of vans and set it on top of your foot. It's a genius idea and I just gave it to you for free. Your welcome. Travus

This sneaker literally stated ripping in the same exact place on both sneakers within 2 months. They are complete garbage. After reading some of the reviews I was hopeful. They're worse than I could imagine. I've been wearing Vans for years. Never again. Moving on to a better quality sneaker.

I really wanted some comfier shoes with a little more support since I like the Van's look so much. These ain't it. I'm sure someone with calloused ankles or ankle guards are ok with them but not myself. I'm returning them promptly.

The sole is so stiff, there is no cushion like my older ultraranges. Breaks my heart. The shoe has no structure, looks horrible. I will only buy them if they start making them the way they used to. Cmon Vans don't make me lose total hope :(

Both shoes tore straight down the middle of the inner sides after 3 months of wear. Comfortable but I shouldn't have palm sized tears in them after THREE MONTHS for A HUNDRED BUCKS

Ok, so, right off the bat, I'll go ahead and say that I'm an orthopedic doctor in Brazil, and as a healthcare professional, I've discouraged the use of Van's shoes for years, due to the poor arch support and comfort, which could lead to feet pain, especially plantar fasciitis. I've got these ultrarange exos as a gift, from my girlfriend, who really loves this brand, and she wanted me to change my opinion with this especific model, which promises good arch support and comfort for long periods. To be honest, I did change my opinion. I always imagined that the Vans would at least offer well made products with good quality control. But I was very disappointed with these shoes, for their poor quality control, I honestly had higher expectations within this price range. When I first put them on, I actually thought that my opinion was changed, but after using them for 1 week, I realized that the right shoe just fit different from the left one, and my right foot started to hurt pretty bad, the longer I wore the shoe. It feels like my right ankle is being twisted outwards. Also, on the site (vans.com.br), it's described that the insoles aren't removable, but mine are. And boy do they look cheap, so cheap that it actually looks fake put some pictures down here, they look nothing like the ultra Cush in some other vans models. Anyway, if that's not enough, I've filed a complaint to the store I bought them in, and for 2 weeks now, had no reply. As doctor, from now on, will keep on NOT recommending Vans, not only for the poor anatomic support for your feet, but also because the quality in this product is not worth your money.

This show was a huge disappointment. It is not comfortable and very cheaply made. Very thin and no support. Feet hurt all day wearing them. Do not recommend.

I purchased the white and black color way after having a really good experience with a different colorway. I purchased this back in November and today, January 22nd, the sole became separated from the shoe. I wear these shoes in the office, so it is very minimal walking around and after only 3 months this happened. It's a shame as I really enjoyed the previous pair for years.

Product look is good but after using it for the only a couple of times.. not more than 10 times, the back strap got undone and ripped from the heel. Other vans i got Vr3 ultrarange also start to get with issues in the the sole of the sneakers where it is detached. Both shoes were not often used and are driving early problems like cheap sneakers. Quality is at risk due to cheaper materials.

These are definitely not for running. I bought these as a new and inexperienced runner and went to join the track team. Had to leave early because my coach said these shoes would hurt my foot instead of help. Also my heel was totally scraped and bleeding. DO NOT BUY

I bought this model for myself like 3 years ago, the quality and how comfortable the shoes are is amazing. I thought about gifting them to my boyfriend for Christmas. Unfortunately, they are now using cheaper materials and in general the shoes don't look or feel the same as they were making it initially. Also, the fact they run small and that 14 is not available is disappointing.

I bought these shoes originally a few years ago and loved them!! I still wear them everywhere!! I bought a new pair in a different color and they are AWFUL. I'm returning them. The ankle portion now has a hard thing in them that rubs terribly against your heel. I don't know why they changed the design, but it's not nearly as good!!! Please go back to the old design because those were a dream!

Worn vans for a decade. Have vans that have lasted that long. Got the ultrarange exo STRICTLY for work, a month ago. Haven't worn them for anytime longer than my work shift. Not even during lunch when i leave the store. Glue on one shoe is already coming apart.
