VF-33 "Starfighters" High Top Canvas Shoes
VF-33, known as the "Starfighters," was a U.S. Navy fighter squadron with a distinguished history. One of the most exciting aspects of VF-33's history is its role as one of the first Navy squadrons to operate the F-11F Tiger in the 1950s, which was the first supersonic fighter used by the Navy. The squadron later transitioned to the F-4 Phantom II in the 1960s, a period during which they were heavily involved in various deployments, including the Vietnam War. In the late 1970s, VF-33 transitioned to the F-14 Tomcat, an aircraft that became synonymous with naval air superiority during the Cold War.
VF-33 was disestablished in 1993, with one of the squadrons, F-14 Tomcats, being the first airframe, the first F-14 to log 5,000 flight hours.

This product is made to order, with production beginning once your order has been received. We are, therefore, not able to cancel or amend an order once it has been placed. This includes changes to the shipping address, size, design, or any other specifications. Please review your order details carefully before finalising your purchase.
Please note there can be subtle variations in colour and minor movement of the product during production that may cause a design element not to be the exact same colour or in the exact position as it appears onscreen. More details can be found on our FAQ page.
By producing items on demand rather than in large quantities, we actively contribute to minimising overproduction and waste. We genuinely appreciate your mindful purchasing choices, which support this more sustainable approach. Thank you for your understanding and support!
Product is manufactured in, and shipped from China.
We understand that buying shoes online can be a nerve-racking process, given shoe sizes vary across brands. So here at I Love A Hangar, we want you to be confident that you will get the perfect fit when you order our shoes. That’s why we have a “Shoe Size Guarantee”. In the rare event that you are unhappy with the fit of your shoe, we will process a one-time free exchange. You will not be required to return the original shoe to receive a free exchange under this policy. To prevent abuse of this policy, there are some conditions that apply, namely:
✈ Free exchanges are confined to the same shoe style and design as originally ordered. For example, a black-toe high-top men’s can only be replaced with a black-toe high-top men’s of the same design.
✈ Size exchange requests that differ by more than 2 sizes from the original size ordered will be considered a customer input error and will not be eligible for exchange. We highly recommend customers always refer to the sizing charts provided, particularly for larger and smaller sizes, as we are not able to exchange a shoe for a size we do not produce.
✈ Requests to replace must be received within 30 days of the original item being delivered to the customer.
✈ Refunds will not be issued for sizing disputes; only exchanges are allowed. However, if the largest size we stock is too small for your foot and we cannot offer an exchange, a refund will be processed.
If you require a free size replacement under this policy, please contact our Customer Support team and provide the following details:
1. Your 5-digit order number for the shoes you have received. Please quote your 5-digit order number in your email subject line. (You can locate your 5-digit order number in the Order Confirmation email sent at the time of purchase).
2. The size received and if too big or too small.
3. The size requested. (Please refer to our size guides for available sizes and shoe dimensions).
Replacements Due To Shoe Size:
Please refer to our "Shoe Size Guarantee" above or here.
Damaged or Misprinted Products:
Products that are damaged or shipped with a misprint will be replaced at no
additional cost. However, we are not responsible for items damaged in shipping.
Please contact Customer Support team and provide photographic evidence of the damaged item with any replacement requests. Please ensure you also quote your 5-digit order number in the email subject line with any replacement requests.
Requests to replace must be received within 30 days of the original item being delivered.
Wrong Product Shipped:
If the wrong product has been shipped to you, please email our Customer Support team to request a replacement for your order. Please provide your 5-digit order number and photos of the entire product, clearly showing how the product
differs from what was ordered.
Requests must be received within 30 days of the original item being delivered.
60-Day Delivery Time Guarantee:
If an order does not show as “delivered” by the carrier’s tracking, and it has
been more than 60 days since the order was placed, you may request a refund or
have a replacement sent. At the sole discretion of I Love A Hangar, the “60-Day
Delivery Time Guarantee” may be nullified or extended due to random events such
as adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, pandemics, political unrest,
or postal worker labour disputes that may impact various delivery locations.
The “60-Day Delivery Time Guarantee” is also nullified in the following
instances:
✈ Incorrect or incomplete address information provided by customers.
✈ Deliveries that are uncollected by customers from designated collection points.
✈ Missed or failed delivery attempts due to the recipient not being available.
