Customer Reviews Vans Classic Slip-On Checkerboard

Love them! Picked these up a few weeks ago and have been wearing them since. I'm in my late 30's with a couple young kids and a full time career. These shoes are easy and fun to wear.

Having been a Keds fan for years, I have recently discovered Vans. Keds had always been my go-to but there was always an irritating seam that dug into the top of my arch. Have two pairs of Vans now and I'm sold on them. These ones I wore right out of the box with no socks and they are as comfy as slippers - no friction points or seams that dig in - just right like Cinderella. Plus they're cute! Note: I have always been a pretty solid size 10 but I had to exchange these for a 9.5 which fit perfect. Everyone's foot is different though but for me the 10 was noticeably longer. Please get these in espresso because that's my favorite color! Lastly: I love Zappos. Love the next day shipping on most orders, free returns, and the website. Don't change a thing!

I absolutely love my new Vans. I got the vintage floral, they are so cute and I look pretty cool for a 60 year old lady!

Great looking shoe in the gold/bronze color. Love the style and casual trendiness. Women's 9 was the right length, but kind of narrow. Tight across the in-step so getting it on & off was hard & fit just not comfortable. Returning due to fit for me, might be ok for others. Perhaps 9.5 would fit better or other material might be softer, but really drawn to the look of these.

What can I say? Been wearing these since 1983. First pair were custom purple and pink checkerboards, back when you had to order them directly from Vans. (no easy feat since I was living in Germany) - Same quality, fit and look since the beginning. These ones are cool, the blacks are shiny and the gray/black is not. hip, comfy, easy. I'm too old to skate.. but not too old to wear these bad boys while kickin it at the neighborhood bar enjoying a cold frosty one.

This shoe is very cute but it is made of a fabric...felt like material which makes the shoe very heavy. Seems like it would be very hot also, especially for the hot AZ summers. It was sized right.

Very cute color in crackled black. Comfortable, just needed a little breaking in on my right heel and the top of my left foot.

I purchased the lizard embossed black shoe size 6 women. I have a medium width foot and these shoes were so narrow, they scraped my bare foot while trying to take them off. I don't get how these shoes get all the rave reviews. I've tried three pair of Vans, now done.

I really like these - the color is neutral and very pretty. The shoes felt a bit heavier on my feet than expected, but I plan to keep them and look forward to wearing them this spring!

Love these shoes from the get-go! No "breaking in" needed! These are my very first Vans purchase, and I couldn't be happier! Super versatile, comfy and they fit true to size in my opinion. I wear women size 5.5 in most brands, and I got these in 5.5 as well. On a different note, this is my second time purchasing from Zappos, and I've always been very satisfied with their service. I highly recommend these shoes and Zappos! :-)

What's to say, they are as awesome as I remember from 20 some years ago. Was looking for a casual sneaker for summer to replace my worn out converse, these are actually more comfortable for me as the toe box is a little wider than the converse.

Great shoes. I have wanted a pair since the 80's and having just read Tony Hsieh's book, thought I would buy them from Zappos. Easy shopping and fast shipping.

I love these shoes. They are very true to fit and comfortable. I have high arches so when I do a lot of walking I insert a liner with more support but for everyday kicking around these shoes rock!

These look even better in person than they do in the pictures. Got these for my wife and they fit true to size. Classic vans.

Received so many compliments on these- very comfy and exactly what you want from a pair of slip ons. These are slightly narrow, especially through the heel.

Ordered these for my ten year old son. They look great and fit great. Couldn't be happier.

I finally got my shoes today and they were marks already on the shoes like somebody put them on and then used the bottom of the other shoe to take off the shoe from the heel. I already waited 6 days for them so I don't want to send them back. Usually I get shoes in 2 days or less but some reason they took longer. I'm very very disappointed .

Great for summer. I love that both shoes are not the same. Fabric is a little stiff at first, rubs the tops of your toes, but it softens with use.

I love Zappos for the free shipping and Vans shoes for comfort and style. What's not to love?

I love love these. Ordered by exact size and the back dug into my heels and I got bad blisters breaking them in. I love the look and hope I can still wear them.

LOVE these shoes - perfect to slip on with skinny jeans, leggings or short - a bit more polished that a regular sneaker and the leather doesn't get as dirty as the canvas. The run a bit big - I normally wear an 8 and ordered a 7 and they're perfect.

My son loved the style. The blue is not too girly, but just right. He is loving his first pair of Vans!

I was almost embarrassed to buy these -- was thinking they would be for someone much younger who skateboarded -- but after trying the Tory burch, Michael kors, corso como and Lacoste I found that these were really comfortable! It may be because they are unisex sizes and these are wider than the rest, but I really love them and they go with everything.
