Of all the trendy slip-ons I've tried this year Vans are my favorite. They do look somewhat manly. The only drawback. So unless you have cute skinny legs they're better worn with pants/jeans. Definitely order half size down.

I love these! They have already become a staple in my shoe collection. I got them in the black/weave color and texture. They are perfect for day-to-day wear but I wouldn't wear them for a long day of walking because they don't have great arch support. But as far as being stylish and comfortable, these are great.

These are really cute. I previously bought the cotton (not leather) ones, and found those to be more comfortable. I think these are breaking in, and hopefully in time they'll be just as comfortable as my old ones. One other thing, the leather starts to crease pretty quickly.

Much cuter than I expected! Ran a 1/2 size too big. Normally wear a 71/2 had to size down to a 7.

Fun and comfy shoes. These are my go to shoes on a daily basis for their ease of fit and fun look. They did run a little big. I usually wear and 8.5 and opted for a size 8.

This shoe took a few days to break in, and I developed a slight blister on my heel while that was happening. However, now that they are broken in, I wear them all the time. They are super easy to slip on, and go with everything. Vans usually run small for me (I'm a woman's size 11), so I got an 11.5, and it fit perfectly.

For some reason, the black on black checkered Vans slip-ons fit much smaller than this shoe model in all the other colors that I have tried. I have ordered gray and black checkered slip-ons and blue and blue checkered slip-ons - all from Zappos, but the two times that I have ordered black on black I could barely fit my feet into them. I love this shoe model, and would try them again in a fourth color, but I do not recommend this color because the fit is much smaller than the fit typically is for this model.

Love! These are my first pair of Vans ever & they definitely won't be my last. They fit great & are very comfy. Plus, this design is amazing! These are my new obsession.

Love these shoes for a cute, casual look! I always receive compliments. Very comfortable. I ordered my usual size and found them a little large. I didn't want them to rub since I'd be wearing them without socks. The half size down was perfect.

I was looking for a slip-on with multiple colors that I could wear with my spring/summer wardrobe. I don't do laces any longer and this shoe fit the bill. I take a size 9 (women's) and it was true to size. Very comfortable and so pretty.

Love these sunflower slipons! I know that some reviews said to order a half size down but I found that it was actually just a teeny bit tight so my regular size fit perfectly. I hate laces so these shoes are perfect and the sunflowers just scream summer!

Love these shoes. I wanted something that was easy to slip on and off, and had an element of fun. They're super comfy (could use a little more arch support). Luckily they're too small for my daughter or she would steal them.

Really comfortable, fit the same as my other tie-up Vans and I ordered the same size. They have a small slice of elastic at the top of the tongue to help provide some give to get your foot into them, but I usually have to smush down the heal fabric to slide my foot in. They were a little snug at first but have stretched a touch and fit well now. It's a little tricky getting anything thicker than a gym sock into them because the sock bunches up as you're sliding you're foot in.

I love the style but felt much tighter on my feet than other vans classic slip-ons. I returned them as I was concerned that they would end up giving me several blisters on my upper heels as the leather wrap around the back of the shoe was uncomfortable to me.

Super cute and comfortable after being broken in. The sole is supportive for this very pregnant lady, but the heel part is covered in plastic which caused a little chafing on my heel and the high back dug right into my achilles which caused some soreness but I'm past that now.

Super cute styling, but runs a bit big. I wear a 10 typically and the 10 W (8.5 M) was very wide and big for my foot. I sized down and the 9.5 W worked. Arch support is not that great, but with room for my orthotics these will work!

These are ridiculously cute shoes, I love them. You do need to break them in, the back rubs a blister on your heel when you first get them so bandaid up with your new pair!

Ordered the Black leather basket-weave. Love them - but they seem to run just slightly smaller than the other leather slip-ons. Maybe it's because the leather is stiffer or possibly the pattern on the leather? Either way, these will take a little bit of breaking in to prevent blisters in the heel area. I also have the red snake and white perforated leather slip-ons and those fit perfect with no breaking in needed (softer leather I'm guessing). Definitely recommend! Brings back fun memories of jr. high fashion! Always happy with Zappos!

I live in NY so I need comfortable and like trendy shoes. For look in person, I rate it a 7 out of 10, comfortability, 5 out of 10 because I ordered my reg size 9, they were super tight so I returned it and got 9 1/2. I wore them today, walked like for 10 mins and got blisters even with socks on! Very disappointed. Shoes can look hot but if you cant wear them whats the point? Money back?

After trying many pairs of shoes of this style, these definitely fit the best...and they look really good too. My foot is a little wider than average in the front, but these work well. My only complaint is the lack of arch support (I have a very high arch). After wearing these all day, I'm left wishing it had some more arch support. But maybe I can add an insert.

Love these shoes. Comfortable, easy to wear with or without socks. They go with just about anything from jeans to skirts. I spent an entire day walking the city in them and found the support to be adequate. I like them so much I purchased a pair for a friend's birthday and am about to order my second pair. I am not a skater or a surfer just a 60+ women who likes stye and comfort!

Love these Vans! They are so stylish, yet affordable. The leather look is great for work! Fit true to size. Takes a few times to break them in completely.

Just what I was looking for (and I will be back for a pair in one of the colors of the leather snake version)! They are very comfortable and I consider them almost a neutral...they go with much more than you might expect, and add a fun pop to your outfits. My regular size 8 is just right in the length, but they are wide on my fairly narrow feet. No problem when I wear with some no-shows that are on the thicker side. They required no break in time. My teens love Vans and were quite impressed to see their 51 year old Mom in a pair. Oh, and I can't write a review on Zappos without mentioning the excellent, fast service. I ordered one morning and received them the following afternoon! Who else provides free overnight shipping?!

I couldn't figure out how to edit my review, but I felt it was fair to add a star. After I spent some money on "Heavenly Heelz" pads and padded the vamp and the collar, the embossed leather slip-ons are much more comfortable. They squeak if I wear them barefoot now with the pads, but what can you do...I will now be wearing them with the Smartwool Secret Sleuth socks, which are awesome and can be found right here on Zappos, by the way. Anyhow, I'm appeased and pleased now because I will be able to were them on vacation. Yay!
