Our take on the Vans Unisex Old Skool Canvas Sneaker

The Vans Old Skool is the original Vans skate shoe, built with a canvas and suede upper, the signature jazz-stripe side panel and a rubber waffle outsole. It has a flat, zero-drop feel with a padded collar and a vulcanized sole, so it works as a casual sneaker as much as a skate shoe. It is a unisex style sold in men's and women's sizing, and the black-and-white colorway is the most common version. It is a long-running, widely stocked model, so prices vary by store and size rather than by season.

Questions and answers

Is the Vans Old Skool worth it?
Yes, if you want a flat, durable everyday sneaker with a classic look. It is not a cushioned walking shoe, so shoppers who need arch support should look elsewhere.
How does the Old Skool fit compared with other Vans?
It fits true to size for most people and is similar to other Vans vulcanized models. Wide-footed wearers often size up a half size.
Can you skate in the Old Skool?
Yes. It was designed as a skate shoe, and the suede panels and waffle outsole give grip and durability. The thin sole offers less impact protection than modern skate-specific models.
What is the difference between the Old Skool and the Authentic?
The Old Skool has the side stripe, suede overlays and a padded collar. The Authentic is a simpler all-canvas shoe with no padding.
Is the black-and-white Old Skool unisex?
Yes. It is sold in men's and women's sizes, so check the size conversion before ordering. A men's 5.5 equals a women's 7.
When is the Old Skool cheapest?
It is a core model that rarely goes on deep clearance. Watch for seasonal sales and end-of-season markdowns at larger retailers, and compare prices across stores for your size.
