Love these shoes. I was looking for a slip on comfy walk around, travel shoe and this is it. I chose the black with little dots, I think it goes with lots of outfits, jeans, white capris, shorts. I got my regular size and they fit very well. I did have to stretch out the opening to relax the thick padding around the ankle and top of foot. I put canned beans in the shoes and them sit for a day or two. It worked like a charm. Love the shoes, will order them in another color for sure.

I was so excited to receive these, however the size I usually wear in slip on vans fit too big (my heel slipped out). So I ordered a size down, and although the fit was more snug my heal still slipped out. I'm not sure why these seemed to be cut slightly different than my checkered pair of the same style. Bummed to have to return them...

These are great everyday shoes! They run true to size and are very good looking (I am a sucker for suede). They are comfortable for all day on your feet. I am 54.

I love Vans. This is my 3rd pair. I usually wear a 7.5, and these seemed a little tight, but may just need to be worn in.

Super comfortable throw back Vans... simply put, these are the shoes that simply pop. As a teacher who is on their feet all day, these Vans are simply like walking on a cloud... way more comfortable than the originals I owned in the 90's... throw on a pair of jeans and a black top with these shoes and the world will be your runway.

I loved the shoes once we figured the right size to order. I ordered for my daughter that wears a women's 6½/7 but they come in men's sizes so need to make sure you pay attention to sizing instructions. I ordered a men's 5 - and that was perfect. They are cute and comfortable!

I've always loved all the styles, colors, etc. of the slip-on Vans and decided to give them a try. Unfortunately, they were much too narrow for my feet to the point of being painful. It would've been impossible for me to wear them and attempt to walk at the same time! I've never had to wear a wide width in any shoes so I was surprised at that. Sadly, (VERY SADLY) I had to return them. I envy all of you who get to wear all the fun styles and colors of these shoes! Maybe Vans in Wide could be in the future? I would be one of your first customers for sure!

I ordered this color from Van's Holiday collection and I think it is perfect for the winter time! I have a pink one which I have been told is almost the same as this Fig color but it isn't so I needed this. I have a few pairs of Vans Slip-Ons and I love that these have Scotchguard protection. They were a little looser than my other ones when worn with a pair of thin socks but not enough to be considered a half size large. They are more comfortable and easier to wear compared to Converse and my feet don't get cold as fast as Chucks either.

I love these shoes! I have a few pair of Vans lace up. The slip on is great and they are very comfortable. I'm not a hipster, but I don't care. These shoes are just great. And the color is exactly what I expected. Always reliable.

Fantastic shoe. My feet are in limbo between 9 and 9.5 mens, and the 9 fit perfectly for me. I got the 'digi floral' shoe and I get compliments on them all the time! Will definitely pick up more styles.

I got these to replace the same style (pink and black) that was just worm out. These are my favorite shoes as they are easy to slip on and off and are extremely durable for the price. My last pair took me through Europe for four years, including me delivering newspapers sometimes as much as twice a day on foot. They only developed holes about half a year ago.

I just got these and they are AMAZING. They fit perfectly, are super cute for ladies feet (a lot of times men's shoes create a "boat"-like effect), and are insanely comfortable. I already know I will wear these into the ground and am kinda debating getting a backup pair in case they get discontinued. They're that good!

Couldn't live without these shoes! So comfortable and can look great dressed up or down. I have a few pairs of Vans slip ons but these are always my go-tos.

I have ordered several pair of these (in different colors) for my boyfriend. He loves them! Shipping is so fast and free! When I'm ordering online Zappos is my first choice!

Zappos has the best customer service of anyone. I always am happy to speak with their reps. Service and quality and shipping both ways when necessary. Who could ask for more.

I love Vans because they're so comfortable and these are just the same! They are a funky way to have Christmas shoes without being old lady!! However, you could really wear them whenever because you have you look close to see all the Christmas things on them.

LOVE these new Vans! They offer them in kid sizes, but I like a little glitter as an adult too. The color is a rose gold and not too sparkly, just enough to catch the eye. Fell in love with them in a Vans store, but of course only Zappos had my size! About as much support as a pair of Chuck's, I found the 7.5 (normal size) much too small and went up to an 8 (plenty of room to wear a sock if wanted).

I LOVE these shoes! I bought them for commuting I wear heels a lot but need shoes to commute back and forth that were cute and practical. I recommend wearing them with socks the fist few times. The fist time wearing them I could feel them rubbing and definitely would have had blister if I had not been wearing socks. After a few times wearing them I tried sans socks and they were broken in enough not to hurt! So comfortable!!! I am a 7.5 and bought a 7.5 and they're perfect. I have read reviews that they are a little small but my feet run on the narrow side so that may be why they are perfect for me.

I have bought Vans for my grandson from Zappos for years and he loves these! Most of all, we love Zappos. I called before Christmas to order these because my card wasn't working online. It wouldn't work for the guy who answered my call, either, due to some issue on their end. He said, I'm covering these for you, consider it an early Christmas present. And they sent me the shoes free of charge.
WOW! Who does this? Not any company I know. Except Zappos. Best company I have ever dealt with. I tell this story to everyone I know online and otherwise and they say they love shopping at Zappos, or that they will shop there from now on. Amazing consumer service and such a rarity in an automated world!
I'd also recommend:
Any, Zappos will take them back if you don't like them.

It's such a cute shoe!! I wish I could make it work. I have bought this shoe from two different places and have had to return both pairs do to fit issues. One pair was way to small and one pair is too narrow. It's bummer. I've worn Vans for many years and this is the first production issue I've run across. I have the same pair in a perforated White leather, I bought this summer and have zero issues. Just be careful with this one.

Vans! Just not this pair.
