Our take on the Vans Old Skool Lilac Mist

The Vans Old Skool is a low-top lace-up sneaker with a canvas and suede upper, leather side stripe and a waffle-pattern rubber outsole. The Lilac Mist colorway is a two-tone purple take on the classic silhouette, unisex and built for casual everyday wear. It is a long-running, widely recognized shoe rather than a performance sneaker, with modest cushioning and a 16-ounce weight per shoe.

Questions and answers

How does the Vans Old Skool Lilac Mist fit?
The Old Skool generally fits true to length but runs somewhat narrow. If you have wide feet, consider a half size up or try them on before buying.
Is the Lilac Mist colorway available in men's and women's sizes?
It is a unisex shoe, so the same style is sold across men's and women's size ranges. Check the size chart on the listing to convert.
Are these good for skateboarding?
The waffle rubber outsole and suede upper give decent grip and durability, and the Old Skool has a long skate history. The thin cushioning is the main limit for hard sessions.
How do I clean the suede and canvas?
Brush suede dry with a soft brush and spot-clean canvas with mild soap and water. Avoid soaking the shoe or machine washing it.
How heavy are they?
The listed weight is 16 ounces per shoe, which is on the heavier side for a low-top sneaker. That matters most if you plan to stand or walk for hours.
