Customer Reviews Vans Classic Slip-On Checkerboard

GREAT SHOES!!! Vans are great shoes. They hold up well with a lot of wear. They wash well when needed and they feel great on.

Van Skulls - Have always been a fan of Van's...especially now with all the variety of 'retro' colors and designs. Currently I'm going through a 'Skull' f‏etish, of which Vans accommodated in several designs. Never been real 'big' on Classic Slip-ons, but it was the only 'sneak' with the design I wanted...would rather have had the design on an 'updated' skate shoe! Like everyone else has said the classic slip-on offers no arch support and not very 'plushy' on the foot, a 'gel pad' resolved that...I'm 'stylin' just the same.

I got the Multi-Checker slip-ons, and these are my first Vans. They're really cute, but due to my sock slipping down somewhat they rubbed a blister on my heel. I got a half-size smaller after reading the reviews and they fit wonderfully, they're a bit snug with socks on, but once you start walking around you don't notice it.

Retro lives - This was a gift for my brother. He had the black and white version back in '86 (I wore them too!) He was surprised and said they fit perfectly! His teenage son wanted them since they fit him too! Guess I will be getting another pair...

My Daughter Loves Her Vans!! My 14 yr old daughter loves the Vans and just had to have a new pair for school. She looked at all the different colors and styles and found (several) she wanted; we only ordered one pair this time but will be ordering again. We received them the next day!!! Thank you Zappos.

Van classic slip-on - Good feeling, easy fit, comfortable shoe, just like the converse makes the same one.

Very cool shoe! These are my first pair of Vans and I'm very happy with my purchase! They look great and wear well. I recommend them for sure..

From skateboards to drums... As a huge Chuck Taylor Converse fan, I’ll have to say; when it comes to drumming it's got to be the classic Vans Slip On! I’m a professional musician, rockin small bars to arenas around the world, and this shoe is the most comfortable shoe to perform in. It all makes sense that skateboarders have sworn by these shoes for so long. These days it's not surprising to find so many musicians rockin these shoes...these shoes were made for rockin!! And by the way Zappos, your free overnight delivery rules! Thank you.

Vans are great - I recently ordered a pair of Vans Classic Slip Ons (with the black and white crossword design) and they are perfect. Thanks Zappos!

Sweetness!! These shoes rule! I have the black and grey ones and REFUSE TO TAKE THEM OFF!!! They’re perfect for school and I plan to buy the coy fish!!!

Nice - Good shoe, really white so it got messy easily, but nice to just wear around, and no laces so that’s a plus.

Cool mom - I love vans; however they aren't as comfortable to me as they were when I was a teen in the 80's. My son loves the checkerboard skulls I bought him, he's 12, my 8 and 3 yr. old daughters got pink and white checker board Vans, but the toddler sizes seem larger than marked by like 2 full sizes...I bought my neighbors daughter 2 pair of Vans slip on's. 1 last year Galapagos or something like that and this year for school I got her the pink black & white fidos. She loves them! She is starting her freshman year and everyone always asks where she gets her cool shoes! I bought her sister Skechers slip on's because she likes dragons and Vans don't come in dragons (that I've seen) the Skechers were 1 full size to small...but the Vans in a women’s 9 fit great true to size... I would highly recommend these shoes for teens and pre teens or 4 and up they do great, the toddler sizes seem hard to get the right fit... I don't find them comfy for adults but the high top old school Vans I got myself were great!!!!

What I expected - Basic Vans have been the same for years. They look and fit like you expect them to. Enjoy them while they're still back in style.

5 Stars!!! I love these shoes!! They fit great and can be dressed up or dressed down. They are extremely comfortable!!

Great shoes! My son loves them. They are very practical for teenaged boys and look good. Great service from Zappos!

Classic shoe - I have a few pairs of Vans and will continue to buy them. They are the perfect shoe for hanging in the house, or going to the city. I love 'em.

Vans Slip-On - The shoes are classic and comfy! I received them VERY quickly, even though I ordered over the weekend. I highly recommend this site and this product!

I LOVE MY VANS! I got the checkerboard skull pattern, very cute -- reminds me of the old-school Vans all the neighborhood skater kids wore in the 80's. I'm an old fogey now, but these kicks feel fresh, young & COMFORTABLE! I know a lot of reviewers say that these shoes run big, but I bought my regular size and I have no problems wearing these shoes without socks. Can't go wrong with Vans, they're classic. I love all the colors & patterns offered on Zappos.com, however, I wish it were easier to browse all the options at once and compare. Maybe a page with little thumbnails of all available combinations??

Gift for niece - I purchased the shoes as a gift for my 15 year old niece. She loves them. She likes the color and they are comfortable. She couldn't thank me enough.

I love it! I thought that maybe I wouldn't be comfortable in the skull Vans that I bought but I have no arch in my feet and I work 7 to 8 hours a day standing up all day and my feet and legs feel great. It has moderate arch support and it has so many designs so it really is a great buy!

Gotta Love Classic Vans - These shoes are great. At first I didn't think I would like slip-ons in tweed, but they are awesome. Easy to clean and the perfect color combo. (Side note: I always order Vans a half size larger.)

Black Vans - This is my second pair of slip-on Vans. They look great and I always get compliments on them. They are very comfortable and look best worn with no-socks.
