Our take on the Vans Knu Skool Shoes

The Vans Knu Skool is a chunky, '90s-inspired low-top sneaker with an oversized puffy tongue, padded collar and wide laces. It mixes canvas, suede and leather panels over a rubber waffle-style outsole. The Triple Black colorway keeps it easy to wear. It is a fashion sneaker first, not a performance skate shoe.

Questions and answers

Is the Knu Skool true to size?
Most buyers say it fits true to size, but it runs slightly narrow. If you have wide feet or wear thick socks, consider going up half a size.
How does it compare to the classic Vans Old Skool?
The Knu Skool is a bulkier take on the Old Skool, with a much larger puffy tongue and wider laces. The Old Skool is slimmer and lower profile.
Can I skate in the Knu Skool?
It is built as a fashion sneaker, not a performance skate shoe. The rubber outsole grips well, but the padding and canvas panels are not designed for heavy skating.
What is the Knu Skool made of?
The upper mixes canvas, suede and leather panels, with a rubber outsole. The Triple Black version uses dark panels throughout.
Is the Knu Skool good for summer?
The padded tongue and collar make it warmer than a slim canvas shoe. It suits spring and fall better than hot summer days.
When is the Knu Skool cheapest?
Prices tend to drop during seasonal sales and end-of-season clearances. Checking price history before buying helps you spot a real deal.
