The shoe is fine, looks great but the laces were way too long and very cheap - stretching and fraying after only wearing a couple of times. Had to take the time to replace them with new ones. Not what I expected from Vans. There should be option to rate on quality.

I love the way these shoes look. I love Vans, and have not worn anything but Vans shoes for as long as I can remember. I have only had these shoes for about 3 months and I am already looking for a new pair because they are so worn. I have normal width feet, and these are a little too narrow for me. Again, the biggest issue with them is that they fell apart almost immediately. I wouldn't recommend them.

These look nice, but aren't very comfortable. There is no cushioning and they're kind of a pain to put on every day. Not to mention the glue holding the sides together came apart in no time at all.

Very disappointed. These shoes gave me horrible blisters on my heel. I wore Vans Plat Skool's in high school. They were So comfortable and I loved them. These are basiclly the same without the extra thick sole. Anyways, I was looking forward to rocking a pair of Vans again but these shoes hurt my feet so bad. They are an usually tight fit and yet they flip flop on my heel? Can't even return them because they got dirty while I was trying to wear them. Bummer!

Not as comfortable as they look. They're also rubbing against the top front of my left foot and the back inner side of my right heel. Ow. No arch support. Not thick on the sides. Why did I buy these?

. But, this pair I picked up yesterday (12/5/24) already has this blemish on the front of the left shoe. 1st day wearing them was the next day (12/6/24). These are hard to find, don't wanna wait to get a replacement pair (these were for a Christmas outfit) so I guess I'll keep them. Make sure to carefully check out your online purchases when you pick them up in store.

Fits good but the "white" checkered is actually like a cream color not a real white. Super bummed.

The shoes themselves are fine, I've had a pair before so I know they're great. However, this order arrived looking like someone wore the shoes (dirty) and they weren't what I ordered (I ordered classic tumble, got true white instead).

I've owned many pairs in the past but the recent pair I've ordered is painfully tight in one foot. I have a bad habit of ordering new shoes and putting them away for a later date so now Vans won't help me since it's been over 30 days even though the shoes are still new.

These are cute, but not for flat feet. Arch support was too hard, and hurt. They also hit a little high and rubbed my ankle bone.

I have a lot of vans and well....these just didn't cut it in the comfort department. The left was stitched weirdly on the inside and left a very uncomfortable feeling. Figured I just needed to break them in but it was just poor craftsmanship and sadly just not comfortable.

When they say Sherpa lined they really means small decoration Sherpa piece on heel. These are not actually Sherpa lined like the description, so they aren't really great for cold/winter.

This model gets dirty easily and tends to stain after drying when washed. I bought them less than a year ago to go to university, they are comfortable but the fabric of the shoe has become watery and the edges are taking off.

Purchased this shoe for my husband in a size 9.5 to wear on our upcoming cruise trip. Big disappointment, he can't even get his foot into the shoe, it runs a whole size smaller than expected. Also, I did not realize they were cloth and not leather., ew....don't judge me! Needless to say I will be returning these.

Overall the shoes are cute and go with everything so it's a nice shoe to have. HOWEVER, I've had them for over a year now and they stillll give me blisters on my heels everytime I wear them. Not worth it. They haven't worn out at all but they're all white so they do get dirty easily obviously but not hard to clean.

I wanted a second pair of white vans because I love them, but the ones I received today look a little different from each other. The right shoe seems wider and the lining on the toe box is different than the left shoe. It was very noticeable when I tried them on.

They are definitely cute shoes, always loved Vans but this ones are the ones that will make you use a band aid because will hurt the back of your toes, even with socks

fit was okay, but the fabric tore *very easily.* several holes in the shoes, within a few weeks. Vans used to last me a few months.

I work at a library. Nice shoes, I love old skools but the leather makes them squeaky and loud. This is not helpful to me . Can't contact support.

I really like the look of the shoes but they came out of the box with small stains on them and defects in the rubber soles that have caused small discolorations on them. I got a pair for myself and my wife and both had similar issues.
