Questions and answers

Is $57 a good price for the Vans Upland?

Yes. It usually sells for around $70 to $85, so $57 at Nordstrom as of November 4, 2026 is a solid discount. It is the lowest of the three stores pricing it new.

How does the Upland compare with the Vans Old Skool?

The Upland uses leather and suede where the Old Skool is mostly canvas and suede, so it looks dressier and holds up better to scuffs. The Old Skool has the side stripe and a flatter, more skate-oriented feel.

Should women size down?

Yes. The Upland uses unisex men's sizing, so women typically go about 1.5 sizes down from their women's size. A men's 7 is roughly a women's 8.5.

Does it come in wide widths?

Yes, it is offered in both medium and wide widths. Wide sizes are less common in this style, so check availability before ordering.

Can I wear the Upland in rain or snow?

Light rain is fine, but the suede panels stain and the leather needs conditioning. For wet winter weather, a treated or all-synthetic sneaker is a better choice.

Where is the Vans Upland Shoes cheapest?

At Nordstrom, for $57.00, as of our latest check.
