Look great but they are cutting my heels like nothing I've ever worn!

Comments about Old Skool Shoes:
I would recommend going with half a size smaller than your usual (if available). I'm a typical EU 39 but have these in 38,5 and they fit ideally.

Comments about Old Skool Shoes:
I'm on my second pair of this exact model and color, and I absolutely love them! Old Skool is by far my favorite Vans shoe as they fit perfectly and are very comfortable to wear, although it may take a month or two to break them in. I wore my previous pair pretty much everyday for three years straight (that is, all through cold, snowy winters and rainy summers) before I'd worn them out to the point where there were holes in the soles (only the soles) and I had to throw them out.
All in all, very comfortable and durable shoes, a little too expensive for my taste though, but I'd still repurchase them.

Comments about Old Skool Shoes:
As i said before: very fragile, almost to a degree where i won't even do as much as walk up slopes because i fear they will break.
