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!

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.

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.

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.

Comfort - It has been at least 15 years since I owned my last pair of Vans, and my new pair reminds me of the comfort I had back then. Also the classic look is still the same, I am completely satisfied! Zappos customer service personnel know their business!

I recently purchased this sneaker for my teenage son and he loves them. All the kids in school think they’re really cool. When my son first picked them out, I wasn’t really sure about the color. I felt they were a little wild, but since I saw them in person, they actually aren’t that bad.

Thanks Zappos! These shoes are great. I ordered these last Fri night & I'm wearing them now-on Mon afternoon. How is that possible?! I took a chance & ordered them a half size smaller than my size & they feel fine. I will go to Zappos first whenever I need shoes.

Perfect first hi-tops - Great-looking shoes - wear with the tongue in or out, comfortable except for an initial rubbing of the back part of the hi-top because it's new and stiff. Loosening the laces will help with this. I'm very very happy with these. I wear an 8.5 90% of the time (9's very rarely), so I ordered my exact size. They felt only slightly larger than other 8.5's, though not enough for me to buy a smaller size.
