Vans Skate Old Skool | Skate Shoe Review

The Vans Old Skools have been around since 1977 and was the first Vans shoe to be made with leather side panels for durability. Fast forward to today and the revamped 'Skate' Old Skool is decked out with features designed for skateboarding. We got our skate product content guru Josue Medina to shred them and let us know what he thought.

Can we please get more shoe reviews with Josue? He rips!

[@joe.nail1]

Putting canvas where you drag your ollie is a terrible design choice. Mine blew out immediately

[@johnnygarcia2798]

Mine had a hole in 4 days and I got some old vans with suede and cut a patch and they’ve been going for a while

[@Munnwort]

real skate pros have found a workaround for this, get better

[@phoenixtheshark7043]

​@@Munnwort What're you on about? Are you trying to get mad at him for giving his opinion on a design flaw that his pair of Vans had?

[@faithdoudna3404]

So sickkk 🔥🔥🔥

Coming from skating Nike Sb blazers, I really wanted to try to skate a Vans shoe. I have never skated Vans and I saw that the old skool had a strikingly similar silhouette to the blazers. The shoe broke in very quickly (within 30 minutes) and I felt like they had more padding than the blazer and more board feel. I do feel that blazers will protect you from ankle rolls more, but I just might stick with old skools as my go to skate and casual shoe.

Vans Blazers are the Sk8-hi, not the Old Skool. ;)

[@ryanwalters3531]

Holy crap I had a suede pair of these in the 80s lol

[@QFlo]

Need some specs on those wheels, they sound soft

[@imthatbasic]

Cleanest looking shoe but straight out the box is the worst! once broken in their amazing 🙌

[@yes11889]

Those shoes look like they were skated longer than 30 hours i guess it just because the durability isn't great I'd like to try a pair of these but spending 80$ for it to have a chance to give me an ollie hole isn't worth it i don't understand why they can't put suede in that spot for old schools

[@imacracker515]

100% agree. Ive given up on Vans. How could a "skate" shoe put freaking CANVAS right where alot of people ollie. I dont get it.

[@rageius]

I got some that have suede on the whole nose of the shoe the other day

[@stringygoose2509]

Dumb question? Is there a specific way you lace them up

[@tacticsboardshop]

Nope! Just lace them up however looks the best for ya. Cheers! 👍- Tim

They're going to skate the same as any other Sk8 classics.
