if you go vans , just make sure you go vault or other collab. not the shit-tier ones you get at shoezone

Skagway's have always been on my radar, just finding a pair at a decent price.
Yeah will do. They gotta be comfy so will make sure they are the comfycush ones at least

aren't comfycush ones very high street spec too though?
vans are comfy in my opinion. maybe not authentics but old skools and the like have always felt good on foot for me

Anto’s suggestions are good. Sk8-hi would work well with your style and the NB’s.
Skagway as a Converse alternative?

Just had to back some Vans Anaheim old skool, there’s a stupid bump inside the collar of the heel (from the seam) that isn’t in a pair of non Anaheim’s I’ve got.
Are the Vaults the same as this? Or the non Anaheim comfycush ones here? https://www.vans.co.uk/shop/en/vans-gb/comfycush-old-skool-shoes-vn0a3wmavne
I’ve wanted a pair of these for a long time and held off for some reason -probs to get the right derivative -and now I think I’m gonna end up with a normal pair

Thanks so much guys that’s really helped. Now I definitely know I want these ones, though they seem sold out everywhere. Anyone know if they’re likely to be reissued or where they’re readily available?
I’m not a fan of the foxing stripe that’s on standard Vans so I stick with the Vault line, plus the Vault models have a better shape and construction than the standard version.
I’d recommend these two pairs…

Vans Vault is pretty consistent with rereleasing/restocking classic standard models like those. The slip-ons for example are usually always in stock. Those Old Skools were easily available for around a year or so before finally starting to dry up. I re-upped on both those pairs back in June as a future replacement since they’re frequent staples in my wardrobe but I haven’t broken ‘em out just yet. There was only one place I could find that had my size at the time too. I’m pretty sure I saw some in stock online recently but at a U.S. store and sizes were limited. Just search for ‘em using the product code and you may have some luck.
They do have a bit more cushioning but I’d go with your same size as the standard ones. I’ve heard they fit about 1/2 size bigger but not from my experience and I own around twenty pairs and never had a sizing issue. I do have a black leather pair of Old Skools that I went 1/2 a size up on and it doesn’t really make a difference.
