About it

First released in 1977, the Old Skool—was just the second skate shoe we ever made. Designed with input from the pioneers of skateboarding, the Old Skool’s first-of-its-kind suede toe cap and durable rubber stood up to the wear-and-tear of griptape (a relatively new addition to most skateboards in the '70s). By the standards of the day, the Old Skool was the most progressive shoe on the market, and literally took skateboarders to the next level. Today's Skate Old Skool continues this heritage of progression and remains one of our most popular shoes. It's as durable as ever and skateable right out of the box—reinforced and refined with PopCush™ impact protection, DuraCap™ underlays, and grippy SickStick™ rubber.

About the Vans Skate Old Skool Shoes

The Vans Skate Old Skool is the skate-specific build of the classic Old Skool, upgraded for riding rather than just walking. It adds DURACAP reinforcement, deeper knurled toe bumpers, taller sidewalls, a molded heel counter, internal tongue straps and Vans' SickStick gum rubber for grip. PopCush footbeds handle impact and reduce leg fatigue on long sessions. The upper mixes suede with 10 oz and 6 oz canvas over a vulcanized sole, and at about 14 oz per shoe it is a substantial, locked-in shoe rather than a light mesh trainer.

Best forSkateboarders who go through shoes fastRiders who want board feel with impact protectionEveryday wear for people who like the Old Skool shapeWide-footed skaters wanting a locked-in fit
Pros
  • DURACAP and deeper knurled toe bumpers hold up to grip tape wear
  • SickStick gum rubber gives strong, predictable grip
  • PopCush footbed cushions landings and cuts leg fatigue
  • Molded heel counter and tongue straps keep the foot locked in
  • Suede and canvas upper keeps the classic Old Skool look

What reviewers say

  • 4.5 / 52,000 ratings

Rated 4.7 out of 5 from about 3,900 ratings, the Skate Old Skool is well liked as a durable, grippy skate shoe that still looks like a classic. Owners say the reinforced build lasts longer than standard Old Skools, though some find them stiff at first and note the sole wears with hard use.

Questions and answers

Is the Skate Old Skool worth it over the regular Old Skool?
Yes, if you actually skate. The Skate version adds DURACAP, deeper toe knurling, taller sidewalls, a molded heel counter and PopCush, which the standard Old Skool lacks. It costs more but lasts longer under grip tape.
How does the Skate Old Skool fit?
It fits true to size for most people, in a medium width. The molded heel counter and internal tongue straps make it snugger than a standard Old Skool, so try your usual size first.
Is the sizing unisex?
Yes. Vans lists it for men and as unisex, so women should size down about 1.5 from their women's size to get the equivalent men's size.
What's in the box?
One pair of shoes with the stock laces. No extra laces or insoles are included beyond the PopCush footbed already in the shoe.
Can I use them for everyday wear?
Yes. The suede and canvas upper and classic Old Skool shape work for casual wear, and the PopCush footbed is comfortable for standing and walking.
Are they good for winter?
They are built for fall and winter wear, but the canvas panels and mesh-free upper are not waterproof and there is no Gore-Tex membrane. Expect them to soak through in wet snow or rain.
