Vans sizing and comfort

[AlternativelyWired]

Hello, I'm madly lusting after a pair of Vans (could be hormonal as I'm not really into clothes, shoes or bags. Pjs yes) and I'm wondering how true they are to size? I vaguely recall borrowing a uni friend's once as we were the same size and they were fine if a little wide. I have skinny feet and ankles despite the rest of me not being skinny at all. It's so miserably unfair.
Are they comfy?

I've just bought a pair on my normal size and they fit perfectly. V comfy too!

I have a leather pair and they're very stiff and not very comfortable. The canvas ones look a lot more comfortable

I have a few pairs and find them comfy.
They say a 7 is a 40.5, I’m always a 41 in every other shoe but these fit perfectly!

I'm so annoyed as they are only available in a 4 and I'm a 5. There's a sizing error in the Amazon listing. They are out of stock everywhere too.

Oop no, I've found a 5. They are listed incorrectly you is US mens sizes so a 5 US is a UK4. I've ordered two pairs now and hope one will fit and that it's free returns!

I ordered a pair of the Old Skool Hi Top Boot style which arrived today. I'm a UK Size 4 (Euro 37) and I found them wide and a bit big, even with thickish socks? Disappointed but at least I've saved some money. Good luck x

Vans are the comfiest trainers I've ever owned. I'd probably size up, but I've also sized down and not even realised. Depends on the style.

I've had a few pairs of canvas Vans over the years and they've all been comfy and a good fit, I'm a UK 6/39. I like their socks too.

It is typical of me that I fall in love with something that isn't available. It's usually a couple of seasons old or years old when I notice and decide I want whatever it is. eBay is great for this sometimes. I've paid over the odds for the Vans but I just had to get them. A 4 and a 5 should arrive so I'll be able to see what fits best. They are the old Skool style.
