Our take on the Vans Old Skool Athletic Shoes Nineties Brown/Purple

The Vans Old Skool is the classic low-top skate shoe: suede and canvas upper, padded collar, reinforced toe cap and the signature rubber waffle outsole. This Nineties Brown/Purple colorway is a unisex lace-up in a medium width. It is a durable, flat-soled everyday sneaker rather than a cushioned running shoe, and owners rate its build and look above its underfoot comfort.

Questions and answers

How do Old Skools fit?

They run true to length for most people but are a medium width with a fairly flat footbed. If you have wide feet or wear thick socks, consider going up half a size.

Are these good for skateboarding?

Yes. The reinforced toe cap, padded collar and rubber waffle outsole are built for skate wear, though the cushioning is firmer than a dedicated skate cupsole.

What materials are they made of?

The upper mixes genuine suede and canvas with leather trim, a cotton lining, a padded insole and a rubber outsole.

Can I wear them in rain or winter?

They are best in spring, summer and fall. Suede and canvas soak up water, so treat them with a protector or switch shoes in wet weather.

Is this a men's or women's shoe?

It is unisex. This listing is a size 10½ medium width, so check the size chart against your usual men's or women's size.

Are these Vans worth buying over a cushioned sneaker?

If you want a durable skate-style shoe with a flat, grippy waffle sole, yes. If you stand all day or want soft cushioning, a modern running or walking shoe will feel better underfoot.
