Great shoe, great performance and soooo comfortable!!! Comfortable as hell!! definetly one of the best shoes i bought in my, uhm 34 years. well, the first 10 pairs i actually didn't buy...as always, vans don't last too long and start smelling the very typical vans way. so, not much value for money. maybe it depends on the materials??

Nice shoes from Vans, the XLTs are a classic loved by many. They're stylish, comfortable, you can really feel the board and it's nice and grippy. The only real bad point is that they rip far too easily, and therefore it's not particularly great fo £65, as you will go through these in about a month.

Vans Geoff Rowley XLT is a good skate shoe that is easily worth the money. They rip pretty fast but I still think its worth it. They feel and look good.

I got a pair of Vans Geoff Rowley XLT's from a shop in the mall for 30 bucks so i got them. As soon as I skated in them I loved them and after a few hours I had broken them in and the skated perfect. After a fews hours however the toe became abraised and soon after a few months the entire side was gone, Almost everything on this shoe fell apart but I didnt stop skating them because they were still so great, possibly the best shoe ever for skateability. These shoes are light, the best to skate in ...

Vans Geoff Rowley XLT - Ok here's how it is. The first week these shoes are your god! No joke! But DUN DUN DUN they wear out on the bottom like something sick and they rip easy. Although the comfort of them is amazing, even when they are worn. Overall I'd say if this shoe is not on sale don't buy it but for sale price these shoes are pretty kick-ass. That is while they last. basically if you skate hard...NO!! Do not buy them. beginner yes man go nuts...

if you want to rip apart the Vans Geoff Rowley XLT shoes, skate them hard. Me? I don`t use them for skating, I just stroll around the mall. I find that they are the best walking around (becasue of their super-lightness) your feet won`t feel tired at all.
I find that all the vans XLT`s are super comfortable, lightweight, but quite pricey.

I got my Vans Geoff Rowley XLT a year ago from a really bad sport shop. I got them for £30 which was really good.
When I started to skate in they felt really comfortable but as soon as I did my first kickflip the front of the shoe started to rip and I was really bummed about that.

For me Vans Geoff Rowley XLTs were a bargain, £40 off extreme pie. I'd recommend these shoes to anyone for many reasons mainly because they are so comfortable and light. I found that for the first week they tear quite badly but then after that they tear no more

The Vans Geoff Rowley XLT are very good for comfort and gripping on the board and their light but they rip to fast. I only had them for 3 days and they ripped. it sucks because my dad got them for me and he was angry. They had a good price of $79.99 that's pretty good :)

Vans Geoff Rowley XLT is probably, in my opinion, the best skate shoe ever created by a human being.
Everything you ever want in a shoe, this has it. lightness, board feel, grippy soles, awesome designs etc, and none of the bad-bulky, heavy etc.
Geoff Rowley succeeded where other shoe designers failed. Rowley hated the bulky-heavy shoes that were so popular in the late `90`s. The only thing I hated about this shoe was the hefty price tag.

The Vans Geoff Rowley XLT were my second skate shoe and I learned a great deal of tricks with them. The shoes are very grippy and light. However, the grip wears away quickly and the toe tears very quickly. I skated them a lot and did nothing but learn kickflips and boardslides. I destroyed them in only a month. In addition, there is almost no shoelace protection, it got to the point where I was ripping laces everyday and I had to stop wearing shoelaces because I ran out of laces. They also ...

The Vans Geoff Rowley XLT shoe's suck. When I got them I thought they would be good because van's are like wicked and everything but let me tell you about these THEY FELL APART IN 5 MINNETS. All that happend was I was trying to heelflip a 7 set and when I landed wrong they just fell apart, the toe just fell off and dude STAY AWAY FROM THESE SHOE'S. Just because Geoff Rowley is one of the best skaters doesn't mean his shoe's rule to, stay way from these.

Vans Geoff Rowley XLT - Sure they grip and skate good for about a week, but then you're walking around in torn, gripless, ghetto shoes you wish you would have put down for the pair next to them.

Basically the Vans Geoff Rowley XLT shoes are great for about the first week and then go to rubbish. Great shoe for beginning skaters who can only ride the board though.

If you dont have alot of money and want a shoe that will last a long time, dont get Vans Geoff Rowley XLT, If you have money to buy another pair of shoes in 2-3 months, get em.

I've been wearing these for nearly a year now. The outsole is so thin you can see the cushion.
I get a little twist of the ankle when I land sometimes. But the board feel is very good. Besides, it's probably one of the best looking around.

My first ever skate shoes were the Xlts, and they lasted me about 7 months. The webbed grip is incredible, but it lasts not too long. My last shoes were the same pair but black, and took me around 2 months for the whole side to come off, and the grip to come off. They ruin quite easy if you are a constant skater.
