Old Skool width availability

Available in standard (D) width only.

Only the standard (D) width is offered, so very wide or very narrow feet may need to adjust length or choose a brand with more width grades.

Expert fit notes

The Old Skool fits true to size in a medium (D) width with a flat, slightly roomy toe box typical of Vans' vulcanised skate silhouettes. Start by checking your usual US size; the canvas-and-suede upper softens quickly and conforms to the foot. Very wide feet may find it snug at first since there is no wide option, but most wearers do not need to adjust their size.
