How does the Metallic Egret differ from a standard Old Skool?

Same shoe and fit, but the side panels have a metallic finish on a white and beige base instead of the usual solid suede or canvas. It looks dressier and shows scuffs more.

Do Vans Old Skool run true to size?

Most buyers take their normal size. The shoe runs slightly narrow, so wide feet may want a half size up or a wider fit.

Are they good for standing or walking all day?

Not really. The footbed is flat and firm with little arch support, so they suit casual wear better than long shifts or hikes.

How long do they take to break in?

Expect a stiff first week or two. The canvas and suede soften with wear, and the padded collar eases sooner than the sole.

Can you skate in them?

Yes. The waffle outsole gives good board feel and grip, though the metallic panels are less abrasion-resistant than suede.

What materials are they made of?

A mix of canvas, suede and leather on the upper, a textile lining and a rubber waffle outsole.

About the Vans Old Skool Shoes Metallic Egret

The Vans Old Skool is the classic sidestripe skate shoe: canvas and suede upper, padded collar, waffle rubber outsole. This Metallic Egret version swaps the usual side panel for a metallic finish on a white and beige base, so it reads dressier than a plain Old Skool. It suits people who want a low-top sneaker that works with jeans and casual outfits and who like the broken-in feel of a vulcanized shoe. Against the standard Old Skool it is a style upgrade with the same fit and flat, firm ride; against cushioned runners it offers far less underfoot comfort for long walks.
