Customer Reviews Vans SK8-Hi™

Color was a bit off. Looks more purplish online (which is what I was hoping for), but is a nice, deep red with a touch of purple IRL. Size ran a little big, so I’m gonna exchange them, but the color wasn’t what I expected.

Vans SK8-HI - My 14 year old son had to have these shoes. I feel that they are a little tighter in width than we expected, they don't seem to be very comfy for him, but he loves them anyway. They do look cool. Also, kind of overpriced. I love Zappos, though! Great service, fast shipping!

Love these shoes, they look awesome and feel great. The soles are VERY flat but if you're like me and are used to wearing flat-soled sneakers like Converse, it's not a big deal!

I mean what can I say, Vans rule! I have been wearing these shoes since I was a kid and they just keep getting better. While they provide little in the support department they do make up for it with aesthetics. They are a perfect addition to any outfit that will never go out of style.

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!
