What ages is the Old Skool V made for?

Vans recommends it for ages 4 to 8. It is a little-kids shoe, so check the size against your child's foot rather than age alone.

Does it fit true to size?

Buyers say it does. Order your child's usual Vans size.

How does it differ from the laced Old Skool?

The only real change is the closure: two hook-and-loop straps replace the laces. The vulcanized build, padded collar and waffle outsole are the same.

Can older kids get the strap version?

Not in this line. Buyers note the hook-and-loop Old Skool is not offered in larger youth sizes, so bigger kids move to the laced version.

Is it good for school?

Yes. The straps mean no laces to tie, and the padded collar and waffle outsole handle everyday wear.

Is the Vans Little Kids Old Skool V Halloween Shoes at its lowest price?

Yes: $23.97 is the lowest price we've seen for it since November 2.
