I've had these shoes awhile now, they're still holding up well for skate/bmx and stay looking good as Vans always do! The only thing keeping them from 5 stars is how much I miss the ComfyCush insoles 🥲 #sweepstakes

Had yin yang design in 10 1/2 men for 7+ years. These fit really well. The tongue is shorter or near flush than the others.

Got these for myself as a "treat yo self" gift. Sizing is slightly different than I expected. Usually with vans I have to order a size up. These sized up are alil odd feeling and they dig into my ankles on the inside but nothing some fuzzy socks can't fix! Very cute otherwise!

Color was not as expected

Originally posted on Vans

The color of the checkerboard is off white and not white as expected (and needed). Other than that issue, would buy again.

I started wearing Vans in the 90s and have always loved them. The style, the comfort, the quality, always the best. Now I get to share that with my son, and he's already a fan as well! Nothing beats the classic checker pattern.

No, I don't recommend this

Checkered part has a very yellow hue compared to the white shoe strings. Just got them today and will be returning promptly
