A classic for good reason

I chose these as a low-profile sneaker, which is easy to pair with loads of different outfits for my collection. I’ve worn my Old Skools everywhere, around town, on holiday to
Spain and Portugal on city breaks and out in the evenings. They work everywhere! I have relatively large and wider feet and the shoes fit me perfectly, with the laces
adjusted. As the sneaker was originally designed as a skate shoe, the sole is durable, particularly over concrete. As they are low profile, I throw them in my pack whenever I
head to a new city or on a new adventure. I love that because of the simple design they match with everything, shorts in hotter climates or cropped chinos when ...

Always come back to these platforms, super comfy, easy to drive in and look great with all outfits. The only thing is that the white sole gets dirty quite easily and washing them
with a brush or in the washing machine deteriorates them - which is expected! Wish they lasted longer but they have rubber soles and last a good while in comparison to
other shoes in the market. Would not pay full price each time as they last me 6 months to a year at most, but getting them on sale is a steal :)

Comfortable trainers but need to size down

Have been skeptical about ordering these for a little while however, they are super comfortable with little breaking in required. NB everything usually hurts/rubs my feet so
this is amazing! I originally ordered my usual size 5 however they were too big so sized down to 4.5.

The suede of the upper is durable.A little word of caution, for really extreme weather perhaps chose a different model. As mentioned before, the upper is suede, so it can be a little warm in the height of summer. Also, the flat sole is great for every day but isn’t going to help with ice and snow. Honestly, though, it would be unrealistic to expect that these sneakers are ideal winter shoes. The Vans Old Skool is a brilliant everyday sneaker. I’d recommend it to anyone who is looking for a low-profile versatile sneaker for every day. It is easy to match with outfits and comfortable. When buying this shoe go true to size. I always have an iteration of the Old Skool in my sneaker collection, as it is a timeless classic.

Love theeese! I usually go with the regular old skool style so I decided to switch it up a little while still keeping that classic look, and I’m soooo glad I did cause these look BOMB. They’re super comfy, basically the same deal as reg old skools just “cooler” looking lol. I was a little worried at first about them making me look too tall but it honestly doesn’t add that much extra height, so if that’s a concern for you I couldn’t worry too much about it! They honestly look so good on. Like adds the right amount of flare while still being subtle.

I originally bought this in my correct size but immediately cancelled the order bc i read some reviews saying this was in Men's sizes. THAT IS INCORRECT! this was indeed WOMENS size. I realized that you can check by seeing which category (men's or women's) you were shopping under to verify that. The show came in great condition, however I could not try it on at all since it was size 6.5 womens, not men's (I am size 8 for womens).However, my sister tried it on as she is a size 6.5 womens, and it is true to size :)It would've helped if they had a product description specifying Womens or Men's sizes though. Would have been less confusing.

I bought these shoes for work, and don’t get me wrong they were very comfortable and looked nice, but after a while the sole came away from the shoe. I’ve seen other people on external websites mention this too and I think it’s due to the extra weight on the sole being attached to a canvas, lightweight shoe. They still lasted me a good few months and I was wearing them 5 days a week- but they’ve definitely not lasted as long as any of my regular vans

After seeing numerous reviews that stated the sizes were in women's, I received mine in men's! Going back through the reviews I see there's a lot of confusion about sizing because some people are receiving men sizes and some are receiving women's. There doesn't seem to be any consistency which is frustrating. I reorderd my size in men's so hopefully I get the right one this time. Will update my review then.

I bought these shoes to wear to work and add some height because I am small. The shoes are very cute and pretty comfortable. I wear insoles with them for added support and find them comfortable enough to wear all day while standing and moving about. The shoe is a little tight across the metatarsal but stretches with wear. I used some Crep spray to protect from stains and so far so good.

Love this shoes, super confortable! When purchasing I read a lot of reviews and it was a bit confusing because some said it was men sizes other said it was women, but it is in MEN SIZES, so adjust accordingly. I am usually a 8.5 women size and I bought a 6 men size and they fit perfectly I think even a 6.5 would have worked if you use thicker socks. I usually wear them without or with no show socks very thin. I hope this helps.

7 July 2023
Nowhere on the description does it say whether or not these shoes are in men’s or women’s sizes. I went out on a limb and ordered what I wear in a men, 5.5. The shoes I received were a women 5.5. So I then went on to order a 7 in womens, and what i received was a mens 7, a womens 8.5. The second pair also came in an unmarked, crushed box, letting me know others are returning these shoes too. No wonder these are on sale. The sizing is ALL wrong and it feels so intentional. Just disclose whether it is in men or womens sizes so its less confusing.
