Love the look! I'm a full women's 11 and at first I ordered the W11/M9.5 but my toes were hitting the end of the shoe so I went a half size up. First time I ever had to order a 11.5 but it is a unisex shoe. The back is rubbing my heel a bit but I think they'll break in. Also a bit wide but again, this shoe is also made for a dude's wider foot.

These are comfortable to wear all day standing or walking without even breaking them in. One of my go-to pairs of shoes after having them for a few months.

I love these shoes and was excited to get them for biking around the city. Unfortunately, the canvas separated from the side within the first week, and I had to glue them. So disappointing for such expensive shoes!

I haven't worn these yet as they are more of a fall type style, but they look great and feel great when I try them on. I am looking forward to wearing them this fall and think they will go great with a number of outfits. I was a bit concerned as they are unisex that they would look too masculine for a girl, but that is not the case.

Cool shoes. Look great and are comfortable. Have had several compliments. Can dress up with them or just wear with jeans. Nice.

Love the look of a Van slip-on, but this shoe is so uncomfortable I can't even take the pain of breaking it in. The material on the inside of the toe area on the right shoe started curling up the first and only time I wore them and made a giant blister on the side of my big toe, so I had to carry my shoes and walk barefooted into a meeting.

LOVE these, they look great and are very comfortable right off the bat! No breaking in with blisters period and I don't wear them with socks.

Stay away from this pair. It is badly done. I got blisters on my heels .The shoe fits fine but they placed bad lining on the bad. But my feet got blisters on the back heels. I am traveling and I will never wear them again.

Love these shoes and so does my nephew! Buy them a size larger than normal. I had to return them twice to get the correct size. Thank goodness Zappos makes that so easy!

Love these shoes! I am a photographer and I am on my feet when I am shooting so cute shoes that are comfortable are essential. These shoes must also be acceptable in churches, at nice wedding receptions and so on. I call them my bedazzled sneakers. They have just enough shine to look "dressy" (ish) and are super durable in case I need to climb on something! Overall really love them.

Sharp look and nice overall fit. My only small beef is I wish they would have been stuffed with brown paper to help keep their shape. I stuffed them myself because the material is different than your average Vans and I want keep them looking dazzling.

I had the experience that the slip-ons fit way small. I usually wear a 10, but I could not even get my foot in to a 10. I am going to have to order a full size (at least) larger.

I don't understand why such good reviews for this shoe. No arch support whatsoever. They look nice but on, they're kinda like clown shoes. Tripped in them due to the thick rubber catching (toe to floor). After one day in these (worn without socks), I have friction sores on both ankles over the achilles tendon. Would return them if I could.

Love these shoes. I got the Embossed check in port Royale leather. The color is like a deeps merlot red. They are well-made and the leather is great quality for a canvas shoe company. They go with everything. Chic, yet so comfortable. I normally wear a 10, but got these and other Vans slip ons in a 9.5.

This is my fourth pair of slip-on Vans I've owned and these do not disappoint. They are a little more snug than the previous pairs but broke in quickly. Zappos shipping is unbelievable. It's almost like some guy was waiting down the street to deliver these things to me the next day for free!

Neat looking shoe but not for someone with high arch. Literally could not get my foot in as the elastic gores don't stretch enough. Love the look of these classic shoes though.

Great old school shoe. Great style. If you've ever owned a pair, you know they're not made for comfort. But an awesome shoe nonetheless.

Nice shoe, colors really pop, it takes a while for the leather upper on the heel to break in so don't take long walks in them right away, but once it does it's an awesome shoe. I have gotten nothing but compliments when I wear them; thanks Zappos!

Cute, comfy, and goes with everything! Can be a little warm on hot days, and if you have a wider foot like me, they may feel a bit narrow in the toe-box, but I got a 6 in this and 6.5 in another style (I am a bit in between both sizes) so I can wear it with socks in the fall & winter. I like this style better without socks though!

Great shoes and true to size I wear them with those weird "half socks" from H&M that you can't see, but they're just as comfortable with no socks at all. Rubber sole color is great and the gray is a good neutral tone that goes with lots of different outfits/styles. Great casual summer shoe.

Unlike the canvas Vans, these uppers are much harder and inflexible rendering the shoe very uncomfortable. I've worn them for weeks now and the backs still hurt my ankle/achilles area. Very disappointed.

Love the print on these shoes! Look exactly like the picture. My only issue was that they were so tight. I ended up returning them and got a half size bigger. They fit perfectly. I definitely recommend anyone to pick up a pair. Also Zappos amazing customer service is unbeatable!

The users posting negative reviews from the sole tearing/coming unglued within a week are accurate. I have now had TWO pairs of these and the same thing happened with each pair. These are a super rad style so please vans please fix this!

These are awesome. I get compliments on them all the time. It's next to impossible to be in a bad mood with these shoes on your feet. If someone starts to piss you off, just look down and bam! That 'Merica on your feet is there to calm you down and remind you just how awesome you are.
