the Vans thread...

Style 36 is more narrow. The paneling is different and obviously the toe is significantly different. Sizing is all over the place like most vans.

I have the WTaps 36s and the blends both in a 9.5. The WTaps fit a little wider.
General consensus on sizing for Style 36s is to go a half size down. In my experience, it holds true.
cool, guess ill just go to my local pacsun or vans and try on a pair 
 
 
I don't understand why they don't add a thicker insert like the foam ones in the Pro line to accommodate that extra height. I think the padding in the pros is pretty nice since it fills up your arch better but the pro line always slip in the heel since the inside has less room because of that extra padding.
I actually feel the opposite. I don't like the Pro insole at all. Just too thick for me and always ruins the fit. More on authentics than old skools tho. These days I generally stay away from Pros no matter how much I like
Thats what im saying the pro line insert is too thick in the authentic pros becaus their isn't enough depth in the heel which makes it feel too small since that foam padding takes up so much room. But if the Vault actually does have more depth inside because of the thicker midsole being taller than that might make up the difference. Either way its not a big deal since no one is really running marathons in the Vault vans so theres not much need for padding inside but thought it was interesting at least. 
 
Do they even make these in a 11.5? I normally wear a 12 in the regular slip ons but I have seen a couple comments in here about these being a half size bigger in size compared to the standard slip ons. 

Yes, I purchased an 11.5. My feet are on the narrow side and the og's fit the same as my other slip ons.

Thats good to know I thought I was the only one who had narrow feet lol do you normally wear a 11.5 or did you size down for these? As a fellow skinny footer I'm sure you know the struggle of trying to size down to make the width fit better but then not having enough toe room in the front.

Lol yes the struggle in sizing is real but, I've found that narrow footers have some advantages in the narrow cut designer shoes.

Just to give you an idea, in Vans I'm normally a sz 11.5, Nike sz 12, designer shoes sz 11 and in Adidas I'm all over the place in sizing (10.5-11.5). The only Vans that fit differently for me were the Jcrew old skool dove colored ones, which I found to be longer and a bit wider than my black old skools.
