Thanks! I’m hoping to get replies from people who had experience wearing them for quite some time now :)

I’ve had a few pairs of the hi stars and returned them all. To me they were too clunky and heavy for my back and hip. They looked okay on but I kind of felt like they looked like pee wee Herman Shoes... idk might just be me! Lol
 
These arrived today. Kind of Converse looking? Please feel free to weigh in. View attachment 4370210 Still, I’m glad to have them as the snow starts to dwindle but we’re still in winter mode...

Are those the May? I’m not a fan of the toe shape on them but I don’t like the Mays at all so that’s why I’m asking if they’re the way. My opinion might be biased! Lol

They are the V Star 2 whose profile look a lot like Converse IMO. I've been on the fence about them most of the day. They're definitely not as elegant as the Superstars which I prefer but I'm thinking they may be good utilitarian, low-key run-arounds. Still deciding...so thanks for your input!

Btw do you have any Vince "Warren" sneakers with the platform sole? If yes, are the Hi Star more clumsy feeling than those?

I’ve looked at them a few a more times and they are really growing on me. So, I get the “on the fence” about them. I’d be too!

I have 4 pairs of the Vince Warrens which I adore. The warrens are a lot lighter and so much more comfy IMO. Plus, a lot cheaper too

Wow- you really love the Vince Warrens! I’m also a fan but of course a whole other look.

Thank you for taking time to “contemplate” this! Well, as lovely as the view is up here on the fence I eventually have to get down. I like the mixed textures (leather, suede, calf hair) and print enough to keep them. Also they’re really comfortable right out of the box.

Thank you for your valuable input♥️<3

I don't have any Warrens, but, I do have four pairs of Vince skate shoes (Prestons? Blairs? Not sure of the names...) Between the buttery soft leather and marshmallow-y insoles, they are indeed amazingly comfortable :love: I also love that due to the supple leather, they conform to the top of the foot and seem to stay on more securely than any other skate shoe brand I own.

By contrast, I keep willing my flashy Golden Goose sneakers to be even half as easy and comfortable to wear :lol: Maybe if I wear them enough times? Here's hoping....

I like them! Then again, I am a fan of animal print.

Anyone have rubbing on their two little toes in the super stars? I’ve been wearing a pair around the house today to break in and their killing. Wondering if it goes away or I should return. Thanks!
Mine always do when I try to wear them without socks. Then again, that is true for all other shoes I own - I have very finicky feet.
Did you try no show socks or half socks? Or are you experiencing rubbing even with socks?
I don't think that goes away, so if you're intent on wearing no socks, or if they hurt even with socks on, I'd say you should return. But do keep in mind I have difficult feet.

No socks, I can’t seem to wear them with no show socks as the heel constantly falls off. I haven’t tried the half socks. I’d have to order some.

Yep, that's a common problem. Personally, I like the socks Stance makes, sometimes I'll even wear the ankle ones (I don't mind the look, but I understand most people do). I've hear other people rave about Bombas, and @chiisaibunny swears by half-socks she buys on Amazon (if you go back a few pages, you'll find her post with a picture of them - maybe a link?)
