Customer Reviews Vans SK8-Hi™

The SK8-Hi's, unfortunately, were unable to put up with the abuse of modern skateboarding. Several Kickflips into these shoes and you've lost the tread. Several weeks of skating shows a loss of the canvas siding as well as signs of wear on the toe. And where the extra foxing on the toe beings, there is an edge on the inside of the shoe that makes it very uncomfortable.

Top Notch! Great skate shoe! It’s been almost 18 years since I skated Vans Sk8-Hi Standards and I've been missing out! Grip is excellent, great board control, no stupid arch support which is great for my flat feet. The Iron Maiden graphics kick a** and they come in an awesome box. Buy these shoes if you skate or like Iron Maiden or both! Also, keep an eye out for the Jeff Grosso pro model shoe.

I wore the canvas version of these when I was in high school, and I loved them. I got this pair with the intention to pair them with casual black layers, leggings, and maybe even a dress. They can translate between styles like a pair of Doc Martens, and are perfect for the grown-up goth look. As with all Vans shoes, expect insoles with no arch support. I have flat feet, but love the thin sole. I tend to wear women's 10½-11 and ordered men's 10/women's 11½ and the fit is just right.

Love the color and fit! The sk8-hi’s from Vans are my favorite!

I love it!

Beware arrived with scuff marks they do not smell new

Vans Sk8-Hi Black/Gunmetal Checkered - I haven't had a pair of Vans hi-tops in over 20 years, so I wanted to try them again. Comfort is average, but I seem to recall that hi-top portion (the upper 3 inches) used to be considerably thicker. Even still, a good shoe at a good price and it’s a super-classic!

vans skate shoes - I have been wearing these shoes since I was 15. I like them a lot I just wish there was a little more cushion in them like other athletic shoes.

This shoe is unbeatable. It is comfortable and very stylish. When you're ordering sizes it is about a half size larger than what you put so be careful and get the right size.

These shoes look great. They are a little larger than most other 10½ shoes. I probably could have gone with a 10 and still felt fine. I am glad that these came out because I cannot find the black/black deconstuct/d-lo's anywhere!

My shoes of choice - I bought these and I love them they are some of the most comfortable shoes I own... I bought the ones with slayer on them just to have some different shoes then everyone else.

Pleased Mother - My son asked for these shoes for Christmas. He does like them even though he said he is having to get used to them since they are high tops. I actually love them because he is not running around with his shoes untied and flopping around. I like the looks too.

Vans Sk8-Hi KISS shoes - Just received my KISS version of this style. They just may be the most awesome-looking pair of shoes I have ever owned!! I've been wearing classic-style Vans (slip-ons mostly) since Jr. High and wanted something different... these caught my eye for sure, being a KISS fan. I docked a star for comfort as the high-top style is uncomfortable at first, at least with the shape of my leg/ankle. I'm sure it will improve with time.

Purchased for a high school student. This is her second pair and she loves them. She normally has achy feet and these are very comfortable for her. She gets compliments daily on them.

Not just for skate - If you can believe this...I play basketball in these shoes once or twice a week. Might be the best shoe I have ever worn for hoops.

Cutie in pink! These Vans are the cutest ones around, with the pale pink and the skull its sends the pinnacle message of girl=don’t tread on me! Super well built, rugged, great colors, and great graffixs. I put a pair of barbed wire laces in them and went to work- if those monkeys loved them, so should anyone!

Funky kicks! Vans "Off the Wall" continues to produce products that live up to its name. The black and white makeup of these shoes gives an optical illusion quality which transforms just another shoe to an eye-catcher!

These shoes rock! I ordered one of the Iron Maiden styles and was extremely satisfied with the overall appearance of the shoe. The original pair I was sent had what looked like red permanent marker smeared on the side, but Zappos sent me another pair and no complaints. These are sturdier than similar high-tops I have tried and like I said before; the Iron Maiden styles rock!

Review of SK8 Hi - This is a showstopping shoe. It is truly unique.Gr8 for sk8ing and even better for stunnin’.

Vans SK8-Hi - Excellent shoe, good comfort, great looks and it's a high top; shoes seem to run a little large. I ordered a 9 where I usually wear a 10, I love these shoes. I highly recommend them.

Classic - I got the all canvas ones. They are just as classic as the suede ones I had as a kid. I have put a new insole in them so they are great to skate in, and most of all, classic. Skate and destroy.

GRRREAAAT - This shoe is great. They're comfortable, cute, and I get compliments all the time. I received the shoes the very next day I ordered them although I signed up for the 5 business day shipping.

Radicals as I want. I was just looking something between comfort and a radical look and this style met my purposes.

Happy like a bug on a rug!!! These shoes are really comfortable, really good for skateboarding, looks good with shorts or jeans, they are just awesome!!!
