Customer Reviews Vans Classic Slip-On

It's a shoe that is obviously made for unisex sizing. In closed toe shoes I most often take an 11, but the 11's were way too big on me. Wide and long. I'll be returning.

If you have a tall arch, or toenails that turn up like mine - fuggedaboudit, your foot will not be comfortable in these. Also they provide no support. They are OK for a teenager with no clue but for me? I need cushioning and support. They are very cute, though.

Great looking shoe, loved the convenience of the slip on, but not as comfortable as I wanted. The top part of the shoe by the ankle pinches after a while and the plastic thread is irritating.

For some reason, the black on black checkered Vans slip-ons fit much smaller than this shoe model in all the other colors that I have tried. I have ordered gray and black checkered slip-ons and blue and blue checkered slip-ons - all from Zappos, but the two times that I have ordered black on black I could barely fit my feet into them. I love this shoe model, and would try them again in a fourth color, but I do not recommend this color because the fit is much smaller than the fit typically is for this model.

I love the style but felt much tighter on my feet than other vans classic slip-ons. I returned them as I was concerned that they would end up giving me several blisters on my upper heels as the leather wrap around the back of the shoe was uncomfortable to me.

I couldn't figure out how to edit my review, but I felt it was fair to add a star. After I spent some money on "Heavenly Heelz" pads and padded the vamp and the collar, the embossed leather slip-ons are much more comfortable. They squeak if I wear them barefoot now with the pads, but what can you do...I will now be wearing them with the Smartwool Secret Sleuth socks, which are awesome and can be found right here on Zappos, by the way. Anyhow, I'm appeased and pleased now because I will be able to were them on vacation. Yay!

This is the second set of these Vans I've owned. Only difference was color. Style and size (10.5) are the same, only this pair doesn't fit properly and the first set fit great. Even after wearing for two weeks, they don't fit properly. Vans must have changed something or maybe they were mis-labeled.

Good looking shoes online. I normally wear an 8 or 8.5, so ordered the 6.5/8 size. The shoe was large enough I'll have to try a smaller size. But it feels nice and cushioned and the width is plenty wide, which I like. I have worn Converse as well and those tend to be very narrow for my feet.

We purchased these for my granddaughter. She has worn them maybe six times. The sole and shoe have came apart!

Loved these shoes from day-1, but am super disappointed that they are falling apart after only 6 months. The perf leather is a cool look, but not durable. I only walk in them—no rough wear, skateboarding etc. and the leather is coming away from the rubber. Big bummer.

I love the way these look, they're my first Vans and probably my last. I ordered a women's 6/men's 4.5 based on the reviews that they ran big. They don't, had to return them for a women's 7/men's 6.5 which was too big, and finally got the women's 6.5/mens 5 and my normal size - with fit fine, felt good just walking around the room in. But alas, they ripped a hug hole in my skin on the back of my left ankle the first time I walked more than 1/2 a block in them - wore with socks, and I don't want to wear them again. BOO. Sneakers shouldn't give you blisters like that.

This shoe is obviously built on a unisex platform. The length was fine, but the shoe is too tall for my foot, and just generally sloshy.

Been wearing these for years, but this is my first pair with very sharp seams under the "tongue." Looks like there's some glue on the seam or maybe melted nylon. Very painful when worn without socks. I'm sure this is just a fluke, since other pairs don't have this. But still...

I have no complaints about this shoe. I just wanted to let people know that this coral color is very pink (almost hot pink). When I put it next to a bright pink shirt it was almost identical. Also, it's not as washed looking as it seems in the picture. I am returning them, but will just look for another color. Thanks to Zappos for making returns easy!

This shoe runs big. And wide. I have wide feet, and this shoe had plenty of room. I am a 7, and could have used a 6.5 (or even a 6) in this shoe. They made my feet look gigantic, and the red was very clownish. Not a good look. Maybe black or gray, in a half size smaller would be okay. I have Chuck Taylors that are more stylish and more comfortable.

I've been rediscovering Vans more recently after wearing many older styles back in the day. I've had pair of classic slip-ons in gray in 9.5 and they've been great. I just received these Chambray Black slip-ons in 9.5 and they felt noticeable larger where I was stepping out of the shoe. Small sample size, but definitely a discrepancy in 9.5's. Not sure if it's the Chambray Blacks I just received or my old gray ones.

Umm...first, this shoe is stylish. Very cool look & color (I got the black & Pewter, but the shoe was more of a midnight blue). However, I would rate this as a quite uncomfortable shoe! I read the reviews of this shoe & how comfortable it is but I didn't feel it. If this is a super comfy shoe, I cringe to think of the types of shoes other reviewers are used to! Admittedly it's an inexpensive shoe, but still! Also there is not much arch support to speak of & the soles are hard rubber and I could totally feel them when walking around. Finally I couldn't get the size right for my feet. I order the 12s and they were too small, then I sent those back & got the 13s, but they were slightly too big. I assume if these were lace shoes I wouldn't have that problem (just tighten the laces up a bit), but as they were I didn't keep them. Too bad, because I am looking for a semi casual shoe to wear to work when I don't have to see clients. Maybe I'll try another Van - laces this time. As always, Zappos was top notch & took care of shipping, returns without a hitch.

These are my son's favorite shoes. Wish they were made a little better. The rubber around the toe starts coming loose after a month of wear at best. Fortunately the adhesive doesn't completely fail and you can still wear the shoes. I would have given them 5 stars overall if they used a better adhesive.

Was disappointed that these shoes were too big by about a half size. Initially, I still wore them dispite the extra toe room, but then got a blister. Not sure if I'll wear them anymore

The shoes look good and feel great, but the durability is pretty crappy. After only two months of near-daily wear, the rubber is already cracking in places, and the stitching on the upper is already starting to come undone. Maybe I'm just used to more durable shoes, but this seems pretty poor.

I tried out a pair of these because I have always liked the way Vans look and thought the leather might help make Vans work in Oregon. I will also say upfront I just barely tried them on and they felt too narrow for me so I didn't walk in them for days or years or anything, hence my opinion is more of a "first impression" after walking around my house on my carpet in them for a few minutes. However, after walking around with them on for a few minutes I decided I just don't get why people would like Vans. No support, no cushion, just a flat footed feeling to walk in. They felt a bit like my Converse high tops which I would also say are not very comfortable either really, even though I own three pairs. Which leads me to my final conclusion which was, this is a shoe like Converse or Dr. Martens, you don't wear it because it is super comfortable. You wear them because of the style and statement and eventually you get used to the way it feels and maybe even to the point of liking it or just not knowing any better.

These shoes don't last very long. After about a month the glue around the edges is coming undone making the rubber come away from the canvas.

Didn't like the shoes. Felt kind of rough/hard. Not very comfortable. Maybe they are better after you wear them in.

I am a true size 10 and I got these in a 10 and they were huge. I exchanged them for a size 9 and those work. They are cute, simple, and wear well with jeans.

Decent shoes, if you're prepared. I have to warn you, buy carefully. The shoe does nothing to hold to your foot, so if you buy one size over or under, you're going to be walking around with floppy shoes. If anything, get this shoe half a size lower, just to be safe that it fits snugly on your foot. Great for just plain walking or lounging around, it’s a lot more "free" than other shoes. So it feels nice just for overall wear. The material looks nice, but it doesn't feel like it so much at first. The entire top of the shoe is basically cloth, with a plastic inset at the back to try to give you some support. If you want a decent look, no laces, then this shoe is for you. The shoe comes in multiple colors and styles, good for anyone who wants a custom shoe that isn't really custom. Overall, not bad, but not great.
