This is not a re-imagined, slimmed down, feminine version of the "classic" original, as the description states, this IS the original, iconic, classic design. The current Sk8-Hi looks heavy and chunky by comparison, which is fine in and of itself but not when being passed off as a classic. I've worn Vans continuously since the early 80's, including many pairs of hi-tops during that era. Today I wear Old Skools, slip-ons, and Eras but have longed for another pair of original hi-tops. Now that I know they're available again, I'm going to stock up on several pairs while I can!! I wish I could custom order additional color combos, but I'm more than happy that navy/blue and black is available. Thank you for bringing these back!

I was so excited upon finding this shoe I loved the look and was extremally happy with them. I wore them to school about 8-10 times when a hole started to form in the left big toe area. I went to a shoe repair shop but they said the shoe couldn't be fixed because the material that was used in the left shoe wasn't suitable. The repairman explained how he could clearly tell that the two shoes were made out of slightly different materials. This was very disappointing I ended up patching it up with some duct tape. I tried to send them back but that process was a nightmare.

Comments about Sk8-Hi Slim:
The fit is way off compared to the standard Vans sizing we've enjoyed over the years. The condition in which the shoes were sent to me, was disappointing to say the least. 3 day delivery took a full week so be careful if you're on a time crunch.
Service and delivery comments:
What should have been a 3 day delivery period, took an entire week in addition to a subpar product being delivered. V disappointed.

Comments about Sk8-Hi Slim:
AMAZING STYLE, NO COMMENTS... I JUST REALIZED THAT THE SIZE IS NOT STANDARDIZED, I HAVE SEVERAL PAIRS OF VANS AND ALL OF THEM IS 10, IN THIS CASE I HAD TO ORDER A 9.5.
FOR ONLINE ORDERS THIS IS A PROBLEM, YOU CAN NEED TO ASK FOR A CHANGE WHEN SHOES DOESNT FIT AS EXPECTED. I HAD TO TRIED ON THE SHOES BEFORE IN A STREET STORE FOR CONFIRM THE SIZE.
