  • Nice one OP. No click and collect stock near Sydney metro. Still worth with $52 delivered.

  • +1

    Thanks OP. Picked up an extra pair.
    Loving my sk8-hi Lxs, I've worn them for a year and a half and they're still going strong!

  • -2

    Good luck breaking them in, it took me 2 years and still my feet hurt. Converse is easy.

    • +3

      Sounds like you just got the wrong size

      • Perfect size but the width never adjusted to my feet

        • One thing you need to consider when buying shoes is that your feet will swell the warmer they get.

          The shoes are already quite wide and being canvas there really shouldn't be a significant breaking in period.

          That said there are good methods for breaking them in, in a more pain free method if you don't want to just go up a half size.

  • Excellent deal, cheers OP!

  • Thanks OP grabbed another pair

  • Thanks OP - Great deal!

  • +1

    There is also a cap sale going on at platypus at the moment

    • Thanks for that OP. You also managed to upsell me a cap.. 😅

      Great timing though! My current pair of Adidas leather something rather has lasted me good over the last 4 years on the motorbike around town. These should be a decent replacement with the raves here and hopefully will last a good year until I move overseas.

      Correct me if I'm wrong, but these are normally skate shoes yeah? So a little more reinforcement around the toebox I assume? Or atleast more rugged? Fingers crossed!

      • Not really reinforced in the toe. It's just canvas.

        • I was trying to say, reinforced in the toe area for quality of materials. So like, longer wearing material I assumed for people who do a bit of kick moves on a skateboard. Just wondering for how long it'll last on the right side for upshifts on the bike.. 😅

          • +1

            @WasBargain: I have the mid height of these and they just feel normal in that area.

          • @WasBargain: Actually I double checked mine. The toe is actually a soft touch suede like material. I hope the durability holds up for you.

            • @Yub: Suede apparently is stronger than canvas supposedly. Wonder how thin they feel though. Also, suede is not great with water I don't think so might not want to get caught in too many rain showers. 😅

        These are just the basic model with minimal cush. The skate models that have the more durable toe area and nicer insole are usually have "skate" in the title. Easily identifiable by the extra chequered tag on the side too.

        Now im over 40 I always buy the akate models because my feet cant take a full day in the basic ones anymore 😆 ultra/popcush is life!

        Eg. https://www.vans.com.au/skate-sk8-hi-vna5fccy28-bkw.html

        • Ohhhh, I get what you mean. Those ones look PLUSH as! I think these are the ones I may have picked up in a store once before. I remember seeing that chequered tag too, thanks!

          Hmmm, maybe just resell them? 😅 These had the same colourway, even the gum bottom as my previous pair of shoes. I'll give them a go anyway and see how they feel when they turn up. 😁

  • Haven't worn vans for years but ordered one

  • Thanks OP. Ordered a pair. These were my go-to clubbing shoes back in the day.

  • Solid deal. Picked up a pair. Hopefully my size is accurate!

  • +1

    Bought a few extra things to get free shipping - but free returns will also be handy!

    • I don’t think returns are free. Costs $10 from the looks of it

      • +1

        Can return in store

    16 OOS :(

  • +3

    Did anyone else notice the link and think it was def not the right store url. I thought it said platy puss hoes

    😂

    • hope someone posts a deal for that store too

  • Thanks! Ordered one pair.

  • They look flat. Are they safe to use for lifting weights?

  • you snooze you lose 😪

  • These are great but vans sizing sucks I need a 9.5 :((

  • Some good deals on other shoes. Added a few extra things for that free shipping.

  • +1

    Damn OP, back at it again with the Vans deals!

  • Do these usually run large, small, or pretty accurate? It's been a few years since I've owned a pair of Vans. One size left and it's my size. Very tempting.

  • All gone :-(

  • Oos, that was quick

  • +1

    My pair just arrived today, I gotta say, love the style!

    I had the white and black Sk8 Hi years ago, but they seen better days, white tends to get dirty easily, however this all black version is Slick!

    • https://youtu.be/Wj0VQb6ozuQ Nice Review 👌🏻

    • +1

      Mine arrived too and I agree they look great. Feel great too. Definite bargain!

      • How good does the ankle support feel?
