The shoes are very cute and super comfy. After reading all the reviews I went up I have a size and now I wish that I hadn't. I would order your normal size! I usually 8 to 8 1/2 and the nine is rather large on me. I think the 8 1/2 would've been perfect.
If I had one complaint it would be that they're not as easy to get off and on as I had thought

I almost never return anything but these had to go back. They were huge in both length and width. I have another pair of canvas Vans in the same style and size that fit great. I don't know what happened on the sizing of these.

Just ordered a similar style made by Sperry

These are great looking, and a pretty good fit, but a couple of years ago Vans spoiled me for life with a super-cushy insole that I thought would be in this shoe. It's not. So back they go. Very nice, subtle sage-y grey-green color.

I got the tan leather ones and the material made them a little uncomfortable especially for the weather in Arizona lol. But overall super cute. They go with everything I have. I love them.

Wow. I ordered these and another of the Classic Slip-on in another fabric design and I couldn't even get these on my feet, the material was so stiff. I know I have a higher arch and that the top of my foot sometimes gets rubbed on shoes, but I've never had a problem even getting them on! Thankfully, the other material was more forgiving and much easier to get on and I can't wait to wear!

I've worn Vans in the past and was hoping to love this shoe, but it was too narrow. Thanks to Zappos's return policy, I can return them without worry.

Came a little worn on the front top of one of the shoes. Too lazy to exchange. Otherwise great casual shoes. Fit a little large.

I am an average size 7, so I ordered the men's 5.5/women's 7. They were too big and too wide. Style looked great but were a little too stiff and rubbed my heel so I will be returning.

Almost excellent fit for 8Wide (Im true 7.5 in mid of W and WW), but gotta say pretty darn good if you are expecting Wide. Look lovely on and fabric is fantastic as is color. Just can't afford to pay $60 bucks for these when the suede leather skate shoe classic I am keeping costs the same and will last longer Wish I could keep. No idea if they last longer than usual Vans (not long for slip ons at least for boys).
I'd also recommend:
Rocket Dog is normally wider and they have great selection but Vans more comfortable

Average comfort. Padding and support are somewhat lacking.

Super cute, but the fit was so strange. I could barely put my size 6 foot in these shoes. They were very tight- but once they were on, I had almost a full size of room from toes to the end of the shoe.

Takes a couple of days to break them in but after that very comfortable. Black snake leather goes with everything!

These shoes are great. Comfy. Durable. They clean up well after a lot of abuse. Classic. I'm typically between a size 9.5 and a size 10. I'm a size 10 in Vans, so I guess you could say they run just a tiny bit small, but not a full half-size small. Hope this helps.

I love these--however I try not to wear them commuting into Manhattan because the support on bottom is minimal--i can feel the pavement through the sole on my long walks through the city. Otherwise, these are awesome.

This style is always awesome. They look good with anything. Love the light taupe color. I usually wear a 7 1/2 or 8 in shoes and I prefer 8 in these because I like the extra room vs a snug fit.

Awesome, stylish shoe. Bought them to put together a wedding outfit and got a ton of compliments on the snakeskin look. Would recommend!

This shoe runs wide, which may bother those with narrow feet. Otherwise, it's a great casual shoe to wear with jeans or shorts.

My son LOVES Vans and the Classic Slip-On is his favorite! We bought the gray chambray. It goes with everything and hides most dirty well. Vans also wear like iron. My son wore these everyday on a 28 day trip in Europe. No blisters, no rubbing. He says that his feet never ached one time. My son has perfectly average feet...not wide, not narrow... so if your feet are average I am sure these shoes will work for you!

I thought Goblin Blue would have some blue in it but its a totally gray in color. I wanted a blue shoe and this isn't it.
