Vans earns largely positive reviews for stylish, timeless sneakers that hold up for years and feel comfortable for everyday wear, with standouts like Old Skool, Slip-Ons, and The Lizzie proving durable and skate-ready. Reviews also flag notable drawbacks: thin, flat soles with minimal cushioning or arch support, cold seeping through the outsole, occasional traction issues, and break-in discomfort for some canvas slip-ons.

  • I believe I will always have a pair of their slip ons - comfy, cool pair of shoes that you can't really go (too) wrong with.

  • I wore a pair of the classic Old Skool Vans for years; they last and they're comfortable. In the last year I bought a pair of Lizzie's in Rosette and Black for skateboarding and they are awesome. Super supportive, great for skateboarding, and come with two options of coloured laces to match the soles or the shoe.

  • I love my Vans, I have many pairs. They have so many colors and styles for every taste. I also have clothes from them (shirts and hoodies) and they are comfortable and high quality. They are my go-to shoes for everyday wear.

  • A great brand passing the test of time. Classically stylish, comfortable and true to size fit.

  • I just bought my 5th pair of Vans. Love the quality,fit and comfort.. They have great style and color choices and I consider them classics.

  • I have been wearing vans since a teenager. I own several pair. I love all of the designs and there is design for everyone. I prefer the low tops that tie. My favorite pair are the cheetah and black print.

  • Vans are a classic. They're a must-have for everyone's staple shoe collection.

  • I wanted to love the classic slip ons but gave up after trying to break them in over a month or two. I ended up getting bruises on the upper part of my feet due to the hard part with the canvas stitching. The canvas never softened up. They’re also pretty flat and offer no support. I had to get rid of my pair sadly.

  • Best skate shoes I've ever had. Love them especially when they're on sale,) https://www.hitsale.com/discount-shoes/vans
