My son has had these for 3 day and we just realized there is a hole in the toe. I'm going to email Vans- hope they make it right!

At first, I loved the shoes; stylish, comfortable and breathable. After one summer season of light, occasional wear, a hole developed on the outside of each shoe in the breathable material (outside of shoe near leather toe). It appears to be caused by the natural crease in the shoe when walking. To say this is disappointing is an understatement. When spending money, especially at the posted price, I expect them to last longer than one summer of light wear. I can't imagine how quickly these shoes would deteriorate if they were actually used for skateboarding or other heavy use activities. I spoke to customer service and of course, the shoes were out of the warranty period. Their solution was to offer me a small discount on my next order and an apology. This experience of wasting money on Vans, a trusted brand, will no doubt eliminate any future purchases from myself. Do not buy these shoes!

I LOVE the look of these shoes. but they are SO tight. I've ordered about 20 pairs of Vans online over the years and they always fit, but recently that's NOT the case. This is the THIRD pair of Vans I've ordered and had to return to my local store because they are ridiculously small. I ordered these a half size up - 11.5 - and they are still too tight even for my husband's foot and he wears a 10.5 shoe. Vans, what is happening to your shoes?!?!? At this point, I'm pretty much giving up on online ordering. Since I hardly ever shop for shoes at a store, you're losing my business. I can't be the only one with this issue. It's heartbreaking, because I LOVE Vans designs SO much. The stores have only a fraction of the selection the online site has.

Shoe too narrow. She is going to be 10 next week and they were too narrow it read that they were med width. She had a narrow foot by these were not good for her. My 8 year old wears a 4 in kids and they fit her perfect. Size 5 med width and women shoes.

I used to buy these all of the time every year, for YEARS. But last year 2021 I discovered the 7.5 was suddenly too big, my foot slipped out. I tried the 7, too small as expected. I waited a few months, tried 7.5 again, too big. I even called and spoke with the representative to see if there had been a size change but they did not know. Just tried to order these again (2022), still too big - what happened??? I have these in white and black from 2019 and they fit perfect. Please go back to the original fit!!!

I am not happy, day two if wearing them and the red color is all over the laces and white part of the shoes. I love vans and comfy cush but the color issue is really disappointing.

The red dye bleeds and stains the white part of the shoe!

Obviously not all SK8- HI are created equal. There is virtually no padding around the ankle. I think these shoes were boot leg. I went to my local vans store and bought real SK8-HI.

Very disappointed in this shoe. My son wears orthodics and we were not able to easily remove the insole that came with the shoe. Other Van styles we had tried on in the store had removable or mostly removable insoles. These were completely glued to the shoe. Vans offer little or no support, therefore the need for orthodics should be considered. Vans should make all their shoes with easy to remove insoles so their customers can use their own orthodics/foot support. I was very disappointed in these shoes and will not buy anymore Vans. The only plus was the print on the shoe - the Blurr looked like the shoe was vibrating - cool (thus the 3 stars for Style), but the fact that the insole could not easily be removed completely turned me off to Vans. I do not recommend these shoes.
I'd also recommend:
Shoes with removable insoles or ones that offer good foot support.
