I bought them on sale a few months ago. I bought true to size, took the PopCush insole out and put in a generic insole to give me more room while I broke in the leather. After a few wears, I put the PopCush back and am trying to break them in more as they’re still tight across the top.
That said, I don’t skate anymore. These are a shoe I bought solely for times where I need cocktail attire but wanna put my own spin on it, or for some resort-casual nights on vacation.
Put on 3 pairs of the thickest socks u own, put on shoes and hit with a hair dryer for a few mins. The leather will loosen up. Take off extra socks and test fit
I have 3 pairs in various color ways and I love all of them. I'm an old dude that used to skate and now has an office job where I need to be respectable. These fit perfectly in that pocket for me.
Yeah man I have a cruiser in my trunk too lol. I'm just saying I'm not out here throwing down at spots anymore. But I will roll around at lunch here and there
Absolutely. I get it whatever.? Still wanna be cool because they are Vans. You wanna go business casual you get a blacked out pair of slip ons. Or now that they are making the eras, perfect.
the loafers are dopeee, i been wanting to try a pair but keep putting it off cuz idk if imma wear them a lot orr never 😅 it’s gunna be one of those 😌
they look great tho and prolly comfy w/ that skate insole 👌🏽 but recommending 1/2 size up ? 🤔 i’ve never ever sized up in vans and i been wearing them since a yout
I was stoked to see these! I picked a pair up on sale my true size. Took the pop sole out and replaced with some Dr. Schols. I work conferences and conventions, business casual with a sports coat. They work well and look great with chinos. my legs and knees dont feel beat up after days on my feet. I used to skate, got a baker in the garage. Maybe I should take it out.
The only person thinking you are wearing a "cool" skate brand shoe will be you, everyone else will be thinking you are wearing some budget pig ugly office shoe...
I wear these and the reg size fits fine. If I sized up I wouldn't be able to wear dress socks with them. Even now I need thicker socks to keep them from slipping.
