How does the Wide fit compare to the standard Old Skool?

It uses a wider last, so it gives more room across the forefoot and midfoot than the regular Old Skool. People who normally size up in Vans can often stay true to size here.

What sizes does it come in?

US 3 to 15, including half sizes such as 6.5, 9.5 and 13.5. It is unisex sizing.

Is it good for skateboarding?

It has the classic waffle rubber outsole and suede reinforcement, but the flat sole and canvas panels offer less impact protection than dedicated skate shoes.

No. There is no Gore-Tex or water-resistant membrane, and canvas and suede absorb water.

One pair of sneakers. No extra laces or insoles are included.

Is the Old Skool Wide worth it over the standard Old Skool?

If standard Vans pinch your forefoot, the wider last is the whole point and the extra outlay buys a fit the regular version can't give. If you have average-width feet, the standard Old Skool offers the same look and build for less.
