I wore these shoes for over two years almost every single day. Not an exaggeration. Whether in snow, rain, hot weather, they were my go to. They pair perfectly with skinny jeans, shorts, sweats, or even dresses if you want to be a bit edgy, anything you wear with these shoes will look awesome. They lasted incredibly well too. Although by now they are extremely worn down, I am still impressed because of how frequently I wore them. I am considering buying another pair. Absolutely love these.

LOVE vans but these aren't their best. Cute but not quality.

I LOVE VANS. I've been wearing them forever. I really wanted a pair of leather high tops and after looking through all of them numerous times. I fell in love with this pair! After receiving them I loved them even more. HOWEVER...after wearing them only a few weeks I (and my boyfriend) noticed that where the rubber and leather met on the toe was starting to warp, so it looks like it's all wavy instead of a nice line. Never had this issue with canvas. Not sure if the other leather shoes do this but it just makes the shoe seem like it's made of less than quality materials. That was my biggest issue with these. The reason why I don't wear them very often. Also, be careful of the strings on the zipper...never pull them!!! Grab the actual zipper or the strings will break off. Good luck!
the zipper doesn't work very smoothly and the leather seems to be sort of cheap, but I loooove the look bc it's very easy to work with and they're comfortable. the subtlety of the color makes them interesting but not obnoxious. I really hope they keep this around, bring out more pastels, & improve the quality. I wouldn't mind paying more if I were sure they'd last more than a year. these would be really cool to have as a reliable long-term staple.

Service and delivery comments:
I don't live near a vans store so I'm waiting till I get back to the city to exchange these. You guys should offer exchanges online instead of returns only.

you wont be dissappointed

Comments about Leather SK8-Hi Slim Zip:
I bought these a couple weeks ago and have worn them a handful of times. I get compliments on them every time I wear them. The zipper in the back is so key, making it so much easier to get off on and on. The gold accent is top notch. I have a size 11 shoe so finding high tops that don't make my feet look like clown feet is really hard to find, but these like awesome! I've worn them with casual wear and have also worn them out and dressed them up. A fabulous purchase. So happy with these

Comments about Leather SK8-Hi Slim Zip:
Love these shoes! Fit is great! If you are deciding between two sizes--size up. I am usually a 9 and can sometimes be a 9.5 and the 9.5 fit perfectly.

I love my new Vans and want to wear them everyday!

Comments about Leather SK8-Hi Slim Zip:
When I tried these on in the store, I was a little worried the leather wouldn't be very comfortable but after only a couple hours wearing them, the leather softened and now they are so comfortable. They're go with everything and the gold touches are spot on!

I have worn them for about 9 months and they are great quality. The zipper makes them easy to slip on and off. I LOVE these shoes and frequently get compliments.
