Customer Reviews Vans SK8-Hi™

I'm really bummed at the color. The Port Royal really looks purple on Zappos, but if you look at it on Vans.com, you can see it's burgundy (on the same monitor). Of course, I didn't do this until after I received what seemed to be the wrong color. I can't even see how this could be the right shoe they have pictured for this color.

I grew up wearing Vans back in the 80s and recently purchased a pair after more than 20 years. I know now why I stopped wearing them, they are uncomfortable if you have wide feet. They look awesome and are made well, but based on comfort or lack there of, this will definitely be the last pair I buy. Zappos Rocks though!

Vans SK8 His - VERY BIG DISAPPOINTMENT! They are very hard to get on, I almost broke my ankle trying. Looks way, way better online than in person.

If you’re an orange fan you’ll dig these! Nice burnt orange color! Wasn’t sure about the sherpa but it’s actually a nice twist from the normal version. Def a keeper!

It feels good on me

I got a size just in case and they fit perfectly!

Great fit and super cool color! My daughter LOVES them!

I have only had these shoes for a couple of weeks, but I have already gotten so many compliments! The green color is unique, and adds a nice pop of color. The shoes are very comfortable, but since i have a narrow foot, they are wide for me. Overall, i would recommend this style!

As usual, I received the item sooner than expected. My son loves his wear. Very comfortable, no complains.

If you are reading this message you are about to buy great shoes. My pair just came in and they are very comfortable on my feet, and I love the style. The SK8-Hi is the right choice if you are looking for comfort and style I have been an All Star fan for years but now I think I have to jump ship! I hope you enjoy them as much as I have.

Perfect Shoe - I purchased these for my 16 years old son. He absolutely loves them. He doesn't even wear his more expensive sneakers anymore. Prior to receiving these shoes he would coordinate his attire and then choose his sneakers. Now everything he wears has to coordinate with his Vans! The price and quality of the shoes can't be beat. We're Vans fans now!!!

Just plain excellence - The shoes were great and it came exactly the next day. Right at my doorstep when i woke up.

Love these kicks. They run about a half size larger so keep that in mind when ordering. I could have even gone a whole size smaller since I prefer to tuck my laces into the sneaker.

They are alright. These are very comfortable but seem to flatten out the longer you have them that is why I just got me a new pair

Love 'em! The SK8-Hi's are the most comfortable shoes I have worn in a long time. Although the color I got was not my first choice (colors and sizes are getting limited for some reason). I am actually very happy with how they look.

These shoes are the best! I just ordered my third pair! I absolutely love these shoes...I work ten hour days in em' and my feet never hurt by the end of the day. They are about the same size as other Old Skool Vans. So if you wear a nine in Old Skool low tops, then you'll need a nine in these.

Comfy, stylish kicks - With the purchase of some insoles these shoes are incredibly comfortable. Vans tend to be a little hard on my feet without them though. After breaking them in for a few days these things feel like slippers and look great! Great shoe for the price.

Excellent - Like the look, I love skulls so they fit my style.

Black & White Checked Sk8 Hi's, only at Zappos.com! That's right! Every other retailer, including the "new" Vans store in the mall is out of the black & white checked Sk8 Hi's. I'm an old guy (over 30), and I still skate. Vans are the only shoes that work for me! The new-era skate shoes have too much padding in the tongue and put my left-foot to sleep; a result of a high-instep. Vans Classics are the only skate shoes I wear to skate; if you're of the mindset that they're not padded enough, a heel-insole from Dr. Scholl’s will do the trick! Vans are my favorite shoe, hands down. Zappos is my favorite shoe store, hands down. Combined, Vans and Zappos RULE!

My Son LOVES These Shoes - He got the ones with "Eddie" on them - Iron Maiden and they are TOUGH! They actually look better on than on the pic. I (my son) highly recommend them. I DID order down a 1/2 size smaller than his Adios, as recommended in a review and am glad I did. They would've been too big, so this review thing is cool...used it in the past and it's helpful. The service - I ordered them in the afternoon and they arrived the NEXT DAY! That can't be beat. Zappos returns and support can't be beat!

Labor Day Life Saver - I purchased the SK8-Hi multi-colored 'skulls' version of the shoe. (Pink, lite blue, etc) A friend was in town visiting and showed up with a 'SICK' shoe. Well, since I consider myself a 'Sneaker Villain', I was somewhat caught off guard b/c I live in Atlanta and Labor day wknd is a big wknd. Nonetheless, I found this shoe on the site AND it was free next day shipping always an added bonus. By the time my friend woke up, the shoe was here and he was OUT DONE!! LOL The shoe is the BEST! It's comfortable, stylish, got plenty of compliments and no one else had a pair on in the city!! Enough for me. :-)

Iron Maiden Vans - I own 68, now 69 pairs of Vans and I love every pair. Zappos is one of the best companies I've EVER worked with.

These are excellent - I've owned multiple pairs of Vans SK8-Hi shoes. These shoes are literally one of the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever worn. The style and comfort are excellent for the price. I couldn't be happier with these shoes! I highly recommend these shoes if you are looking for comfort.

Cute shoe - This shoe was for my daughter. She loves Vans for their novelty prints, this has dogs on it. She said the shoe was comfortable. The last pair of shoes she got that were Vans lasted her a whole school year and she wore those little penguins to death! Despite that, the bottoms had the most mileage out of them, the upper never ripped or frayed. We are sold on Vans.
