For their latest sneaker, Vans aimed to deliver one of the most comfortable sneakers on shelves right now – the Old Skool Overt CC.

The Vans Overt CC is the Old Skool silhouette meets new levels of comfort. Expect the same suede panel on the forefoot, side stripe and contrast stitching all across the upper, but now fitted with a wider and sportier midsole called the Old Skool Overt CC. The sneaker gets a wider stance that promises a roomier fit and a taller stack height thanks to its 360-sculpted Comfycush midsole which offers better compression underfoot.

Boosting comfort is a molded removable insole and extra padding around the ankle collar, tongue and quarter panels. Drawing from their skate experience, Vans has created a new outsole plate for grip and traction.

New colorways of the Vans Old Skool Overt CC featuring the brand’s classic checkerboard print are now available Vans stores all across Singapore and Vans.com.sg.

The Vans Overt CC feels more like a maximum-cushioning running shoe than the Old Skool that inspired its design. Besides a plush feel underfoot, you get an extra tactile feel thanks to the molded removable insole. As its focus is on comfort rather than performance, the sneaker absorbs impact while maintaining a slight spring in your step. This balance offers up the necessary stability for all-day comfort.

Unlike other platform lifestyle sneakers, all-weather traction is not compromised. Our pair has survived Singapore’s recent wet weather spell well, maintaining traction on every surface – wet or dry.

We would recommend sticking to your usual Vans sizing for the Old Skool Overt CC. Though the sneaker, at first glance, is wider than the Old Skool and other classic Vans silhouettes, the padding around the forefoot and midfoot makes it fit more like classic Eras, Authentics and Slip-ons. As such, we recommend sticking to your usual Vans sizing. If you’re comfortable with an Old Skool or Era in a US9, get the Old Skool Overt CC in a US9.

How to style the Vans Old Skool Overt CC?

The Old Skool Overt CC is chunkier and wider as compared to the sleek and narrow classic Vans models. As such, it’s best to avoid skinny jeans or skin-tight bottoms. Balance out the size of the Old Skool Overt CC with a boot or wide-cut pants or cargo. Complete it with an oversized graphic tee or a minimalist button-up shirt and you have an all-day fit. If you want to get really cozy, pair the Old Skool Overt CC with a baggy pair of sweatpants and a hoodie for maximum comfort.
