Customer Reviews Vans Classic Slip-On

Nice look, kinda tight but alright - I love the look of these shoes, they might run a little small, therefore I cannot stress enough how important it is to buy about a size bigger than usual... I did that and I am very comfortable with my sneakers. Of course, there is no arch support but that’s okay, it’s still a great shoe.

So, yeah, I have a pair of Vans already...just your normal, average, skateboarding sneakers, and they're great: they're durable, extremely comfy and just kind of boring. Anyway, I bought a pair of these slip ons, expecting for them, like my other pair, to be a little oversized, if anything, and extremely comfortable, and was incredibly disappointed. First off, I have a wide foot, and so I bought a pair a full size larger than I typically buy (I'm usually an 8.5 and I bought a 9.5 (women's) and straight out of the box I couldn't even get my foot in them all the way. My sister, who has a narrow foot and is an 8, tried them on, and even she complained that they were a little tight. I honestly thought I had bought the wrong size, and it wasn't until I looked at the sticker attached to the inside of the shoe that I realized it was indeed a 9.5 women’s. Well, I got all prepared to send them back (return sticker and all, which Zappos, to their credit, does very well) when a friend of mine who has the same shoes explained that they stretch out a lot, and after three days of squeezing into them, they have begun to stretch. They are in no way comfortable, but they're getting there. I bought the pink penguins, and honestly they are the cutest looking pair of shoes I own. It's just unfortunate that they are also the most uncomfortable (not to mention the fact that because they are so much larger than my foot, there's about an inch and a half of room between my toe and the end of the shoe).

Buy Larger - These shoes seem to run very small. My daughter who usually wears a 7 ended up getting a size 8 when neither the 7 nor 7.5 would fit. I even worried that the size 8 won't last long as her toes are close to the end.

These shoes are very very comfortable. They are a bit tight when you get them but once you wear them for a week or so, they wear in a bit and feel so perfect on your foot that you dont want to take them off. The only thing that I disapprove of about these shoes is that they dont have proper arch support. Otherwise, they are very nice.

Awesome - These shoes are so comfortable right out of the box, no need to wear them in!

Pretty awesome shoe! Well, I love the way the shoe looks... its great for spring, but the arch support isn't great.

Vans Black & White Canvas Checker. Sickest looking shoes! Very comfortable for say a concert or walking or just for looking cool. Terrible sk8 shoes though, they tear after a few kick flips. Not nice on your feet if you jump from somewhere high, virtually no shock absorption.

Great sneaks- They are so cute and as comfortable as you would expect. There is adequate arch support, but not enough heel support. When I walked all day in them, my heels were a bit sore. Overall they're great.

Awesome shoe... narrow fit- These retro Vans are amazingly cool. I get a ton of compliments when I wear them. The only problem is that they are very narrow. I have (I THINK) a normal foot. These shoes cut in on the sides of my feet near the toes. I wear them anyway, of course, because they are so downright rad. They stretch out a bit after wearing them for a while and it's enjoyable to wear them without socks in the summer. COOL COLORS, TOO!!

Vans Classic Slip On - Great shoes, except I had the same problem with this pair as the previous pair. The lining above the toe was not glued properly to the shoe. Once I glued the lining in place I had no problem with the shoes.

Not Quite--But Close - I love the shoe... but... as a big foot guy unfortunately their idea of size 13 is not exactly what my feet agree with.

I ordered for my grandson’s birthday, so he doesn’t have them yet. I received yesterday and box is good, but used tissue paper inside and no paper, etc inside the shoes themselves. I called today and was told something about not all boxes being repackaged with all materials. I was then told about Zappo’s new return policy. I didn’t feel like my problem was addressed, so I will decide to keep or not. The shoes were on sale, but I don’t think they should have been sent this way.

Super uncomfortable, especially by Vans' standards. Something happened to their manufacturing, these hurt to wear.

Feels small, hard to get on. Wore them on a flight to Britain with a lot of walking. They are painful, no support. Too bad, I really wanted to love them, because I love the style. I am putting them up for sale.

These are an iconic SoCal novelty shoe. They look good for a summer if you're lucky. I'm sure some people love to trash them, but if you want to be on-point, you'll get one season out of them. And if you're over 40, you should wear them with a sense of humor and only occasionally ;-)
