Our take on the Vans Old Skool Shoes

The Vans Old Skool is a low-top lace-up sneaker with a suede and canvas upper, padded collar and reinforced toe caps. It is unisex, comes in medium width, and has been a skate and street staple since 1977. It is a casual shoe, not a performance running or walking shoe. The latest best price we have is $60 at 6pm.com as of November 3; that is at the low end of its recent range, since most colorways list between about $60 and $75.

Questions and answers

Is the Vans Old Skool worth it?
Yes for casual wear and skating. At $60 at 6pm.com as of November 3, it sits at the low end of its usual $60 to $75 range. Skip it if you need cushioning for long walks or running.
How does the Old Skool compare with the Vans Authentic?
The Old Skool has a padded collar, suede panels and reinforced toe caps, so it is sturdier and warmer than the lighter canvas Authentic. The Authentic is simpler and often cheaper.
Does the Old Skool run true to size?
Most buyers take their normal size, but the fit is medium width and can feel narrow for wide feet. Try a half size up if you wear thick socks or have a wide foot.
Is it good for skateboarding?
Yes for casual and light skating. The suede upper and reinforced toe caps resist wear, but the flat sole offers less impact cushioning than dedicated skate shoes.
What is in the box?
One pair of shoes with the laces already fitted. No extra insoles or accessories are included.
When is the Old Skool cheapest?
Prices dip during seasonal sales and on older colorways. The current $60 at 6pm.com as of November 3 is already near the bottom of its recent range.
