For me, these shoes required a break-in period. I needed a shoe horn to get into the shoes initially. There were some spots that caused blisters and the shoes needed to soften a bit, especially around the heels. I ordered a 1/2 size larger and I still had to use a shoe tree to stretch them a bit. However, once I broke them in, they were really comfortable and I wear them a lot. I no longer need the shoe horn to put them on.

Very versatile but definitely order the van socks to wear underneath as the the inside will rub in your feet. Also runs large! Even larger than regular vans

Very cool, very comfortable! Wore these for the first time the other night for a Dead and Company show. Boogied all night and my feet felt and looked great! They did seem to run small. I normally wear a 10, but had to go with 11 on these.

Really nice sneaker. Soft leather and comfortable. I am an 8.5 in sneakers and went down a half size for these. The 8 fit perfect. I knew that converting from men's sizes to ladies sizes in sneakers that they always seem to run a half size larger for me. Got them in grey. Goes with everything.

These shoes are great! Very comfortable and stylish. You can dress them up or wear with your sweats. The color is beautiful. I got lots of compliments.

Bought these for my commuter son. He wanted a comfortable walking shoe with style. He has a long walk to and from the train and these shoes work. They go well with his business casual attire. The only con is a previous pair wore out on the heel area of the sole rather quickly.

My daughter had a pair of the Van Slip On we purchased from a Van store and since we wear the same size we shared them. Time for a pair of my own! They are super comfortable and stylish and go great with skinny jeans and leggings. They've become my go to shoe for flying as well.

I've always wanted a pair of Vans and now my life is complete. These are comfortable and look so cute with a pair of jeans.

Have you ever owned a pair of Vans before? These fit exactly the same. I almost exclusively wear this type of shoe so I recommend them. If you haven't owned Vans then these are comfortable very casual shoes. There are tons of different styles so you'll probably end up buying more than just one pair.

I ordered these for my husband and to my surprise he loved them! He is very difficult to please when it comes to shoes....seems to always finds something wrong with them. He said these shoes are very comfortable and he started wearing them immediately! That was a couple of weeks ago and he still loves them....so think these were a very good purchase!

Decided I wanted a perf. leather flat & thought the Vince ones were very overpriced (approx. $215) and found the GAP ones uncomfortable - so put in an order for these in perf leather since my checkered pair are ridiculously comfortable AND are going on 15 years old and still going strong! I order a Mens 6 / Womens 7.5, which is half a size smaller than my usual 8 (I think these run 1/2 size large for women, at least). Visually the perf leather looks real sleek - the tongue is rougher than the canvas ones, though & need a bit more breaking in. I'm sure they'll be super comfy as soon as it softens up. These are great shoes - there's a reason they're timeless.

I've never had a pair of slip ons, and with that being said I love these! They are cute but most of all fit great! When I went to vans they said these weren't available in adults only kids, I was bummed, and Zappos pulled through! Thank you I love my shoes!

I love my new Slip-Ons. It took about 2 days to break-in the leather on the right shoe because my foot is slightly wider on that side. Its easy to clean and more importantly wearing this pair is perfect for air travel as you go through TSA. It has a good price point too.

I have only worn this shoe for a few days now, so I can't truly review the durability. However, this shoe is so comfortable and stylish. I go the black leather perforated flats, which are very on-trend right now, and did not regret it. They look good with everything! I ended up sizing down to a size 7 because my typical recommended size was still a little too big around the heel.

This is the perfect shoe to dress my work clothes down or to dress my dress up. I'm in my mid 30s and two young kids, so I wanted a shoe I can wear on my work commute or to the playground that doesn't look too juvenile or too dressy. These are the perfect combo.

Great shoe. I love Van's slip-ons. So comfortable and nice to have for fall and spring when it's too cold for sandals, but you want to wear crops or rolled jeans.

Stiffer than the canvas version, but looks great and dressier. Breaks in nicely and is more durable than the canvas version, so it'll probably last much longer.

These run large so a half size lower than I usually wear. They fit perfectly and are very comfortable even without socks. As always, Zappos customer service and delivery is above par!

What can I say? This is my 2nd pair of vans that I bought this year. I'm a first time wearer of vans in general, and they are awesome for a reason.

Extremely comfortable, ultra casual shoes. I have several pair. The canvas uppers and rubber soles stand up to water and dirt and are easily washed. I'm an extrovert and really love the prints and patterns.

Super cute. I was worried they would make my feet look big, but they look great! Super comfortable.I have a high instep so it was a little tight to begin with, but stretched out enough after about an hour.
