Love 'em! Took a few days of breaking these puppies in, but now I wear them every day for work and play! Glad to see they have sizes above 10, too!

Cute but not for a long day at work! I really like these shoes but they are really uncomfortable as the day goes on! They have no arch support so I got the inserts and they are a little better but not much. They gave me blisters the first few times I wore them but eventually it gets better.

Fit looser than other Vans - Maybe since I have narrow feet, but they tend to slip off. Other than that, they're great!

Vans KVD - Comfy for walking around in, but the toe is very narrow and the heel very wide. I ordered my usual size and they fit ok... A size bigger would have been too big in the heel, but a size smaller would have been too narrow in the toe.

Rubbed my pinky toe the wrong way - If you will sacrifice fashion over function then get these shoes. I love the way they look, but my little toe may never recover. They look great, but I don't recommend walking very far in these shoes.

Loved for a year, but they're falling apart - I got these about a year ago and have loved them, but i just noticed today that the left heel is coming apart from the sole. I didn't wear them particularly frequently. It looks like the heel lining tore the fabric and it's just pulling away. They weren't expensive, though, so for the year I’ve had them, I guess they were okay.

Not as comfortable - As most shoes. Comfortable at first but after a while walking they make your feet hurt. The shoe does look great though.

Cute, but rubbed me the wrong way - I really wanted to love, love, love these shoes. I got the checkered version and loved the look. It fit well in the heel, but the front rubbed on both sides, revealing red tender spots after I took the shoes off. I was walking around the house in them, trying to break them in barefoot, but gave up after a few tries. Sadly, they're going back.

If you're used to regular Vans, don't try these - I wanted a girlie version of my favorite Vans. They are super cute but every time I wear them they KILL my feet. No arch support and they are super narrow in the toes, and give awful blisters! How could you wear socks with these!? Very disappointing. Maybe ordering a size up would help, or sticking to the classic unisex Vans.

The most comfortable, true-to-size slip on shoes from Vans. I buy a new pair every year.

Vans KVD slip-ons - I love these shoes, they are classic. They don't have any support to speak of so using insoles helps. Also, if you have a narrow foot, these will feel too wide even in the medium width. If you add insoles, it helps them not feel so wide. I could wear these shoes all day but I wouldn't want to do a lot of walking in them, they are just not made for that.

Vans KVD - Great shoe. I'm a huge fan of the Vans brand and usually wear a size 8 for their slip-ons or Era brand. The KVD size 8 felt slightly bigger than it should, but I'm still wearing them around because I feel that maybe a 7.5 would have been too small?

Needed a half size smaller - These shoes are so cute! Very comfortable. I usually wear between a size 9.5 and 10 and I most certainly needed the 9.5 in this shoe, they run a bit big.

Ouch - I’ve worn the classic Vans slip-ons for years with no problem. I bought these in the same size I usually wear and they're extremely narrow. My pinky toes are in pain from breaking them in! Half a size up would be too long though, so I’m hoping these conform to my feet soon. They look great but have much less padding and support than I’m used to. Heel cushions definitely help.

great great shoe - I was looking for a easy slip on and off shoe to wear around the house. I loved them as soon as they were on my feet. I got the mens size 7 1/2 which is a half size larger than my other Vans. I wear them all the time with shorts and my wife likes how the look on me. I get lots of looks when i wear them outside, so you know everyone likes how they look. I can't wait to get my next pair. I think for summer i will try all white. Try them, you will love them:)

The COMPLIMENT shoe! The second I wore these people would not stop telling me how adorable they are. The 10 which is usually my size, was a tad too roomy... I didn't want to keep them since it's known that that kind of shoe stretches so now I have the 9.5. All the ladies I work with want their own pairs (I'm 22 and they're 40s and up haha)! Even my bf thinks there cute!

Great Spin on a classic - Just got these today so I haven't broken them in yet but on first putting them on I noticed they run a little narrow. The size though is right on. I only wear flats and Converse so the lack of arch support or padding doesn't bother me, but it may buy people who are not used to it.

Great, comfy, run large - I just ordered this shoe in my true size, 10, but will have to order a half size smaller for the right fit. These run large and even more so if you have narrow feet. They are flat and flimsy, but in the way you would expect - still pretty comfortable and they look great! They're really cute, I just wish I'd ordered the right size. GO smaller!

Happy enough to buy 2 pairs - These are great shoes is you want a more feminine version of the original Vans slip on. The look great with jeans, shorts, and skirts. Really comfortable. My only complaints are that they are really wide in the heel (so I needed to add a heel liner) and have absolutely no arch support. I'm happy with them though...I bought black and the black and white check.

Cute - These were cute slide in shoes. However, because I have wide feet, they did bother my small toe a little because I did more walking than usual the first time I wore them. Overall, once stretched they became a comfortable shoe.
