This shoe is obviously built on a unisex platform. The length was fine, but the shoe is too tall for my foot, and just generally sloshy.

Shoes arrived in a timely manner and well packed. Son loves his new size 14 Vans! Thank you for carrying the larger sizes for us non-dainty folks.

Very nice shoe for the price. I've owned a couple pair of vans and my normal shoe size is a 12. I've noticed that with vans you have to go a size up. I really like the full checkered pattern of this shoe. It's very stylish and comfortable. I'd definitely recommend.

Way too narrow for wide feet! We thought we would try to see if these could work for my 13 year old's wide feet. But Vans run narrow and he couldn't even get on the medium width. Vans should make their shoes for wides too!

Love these shoes! They look great casual or dressed up. The fabric is a lot tighter than the traditional canvas Vans, and does take a little longer to wear in but they're definitely worth it!

Awesome shoes. Had them when I was younger and now they're great to kick around in. Comfortable shoes once you break them in.

Wow - sizing is small. Still tight on my feet even though I went up a half-size and there is enough toe room. Bummer.

These sneaks are awesome! I got them for an upcoming trip where I knew is be doing a lot of walking and I've been wearing them ever since. They are comfortable and TTS. I took my usual size 8. I get compliments each time I wear them.

Loved these shoes from the moment I put them on. Was wanting a shoe with some cushioning for my foot, and this fit the bill. Cool look, fabulous feel. Thanks Zappos for another great pair of shoes.

Been wearing these for years, but this is my first pair with very sharp seams under the "tongue." Looks like there's some glue on the seam or maybe melted nylon. Very painful when worn without socks. I'm sure this is just a fluke, since other pairs don't have this. But still...

I loved this shoe's style, design, fit and comfort. However when I wore them for less than a month one of the shoes fabric ripped off the rubber. I was very upset and am hesitant to buy Vans again for that reason.

LOVE 'EM! Great price for a great shoe! The leather is a bit stiff but you can break it in.

I love these shoes but the size really varies per pair anymore. I have been wearing 11.5's for years. Now I have to order the same pair more than once to get the correct fit since they vary so much. Zappos is great though.

Love these shoes. Love Zappos. Shoes are a personal choice and I'm very happy with these Vans and like that they are leather and will take the summer thunderstorms without getting soaked. Zappos I have found is a superior company to do business with and intend to be a loyal customer.

I cannot believe how these shoes look and feel amazing! I had my eye on similar styles on another website (a pair of Vince slip ons) then began searching for a pair for my limited budget. Then I found these incredibly cute Vans Classic slip-ons in leather at a great price. My size was out of stock for two months on several websites, until I went to Zappos. My size was available, free shipping, and my shoes arrived quickly. Zappos service has always been top notch. Truly excellent!

I thought the shoes were a little smaller than my normal size. I had to return the first pair for a size larger. Zappos handled the process great.

My first pair of these shoes, I had the classic black and white checkered. I've had them for 3 years, basically used them every other day for work and they finally had to go. I've never felt so emotional about those pair of shoes, they went everywhere with me. I bought a new pair (as these are the only shoes that fit me like a glove). I bought the ASPCA slip ons. They are so adorable and fit the same way my old ones did. Planning on buying the leopard, chevron, and my checkered ones back again. Love these shoes.

Poor arch support. I also got a blister on my left heal after one outing, needed a band-aid. Despite the poor fit, I love the styling!

I've been buying these shoes for about 40 years, buying from Zappos is where the real 5 stars review comes into play. Thank you!

I ordered the black perforated leather slip-ons, and they look so good! The leather is pretty matte, and they look nicer than the normal fabric Vans. The leather was a bit stiff and they were hard to get on the first time, but they seem to be breaking in a bit after wearing them around my apartment. I'll wear them with socks the first handful of times until everything loosens up, but they seem like they'll break in well.

I have a pair of Vans B/W Checkers, size 10.5, for 3 years. Finally decided to get a new pair - this time the same but color Red/White and also size 10.5. I got the shoes today, LOOKING GREAT!! But it feels small and tight compared to the old pair which I actually wear with insole. The old pair feels MUCH more roomy. I don't know if the size has changed, or if the Chinese factory is trying to save money - but this is a definitely smaller 10.5 than the original which is made in Thailand. I'm going to send back and ask for size 11.

The name of the shoe says it all: these are classic. They are also slip-ons. They are also Vans, you know, just in case you missed that part. These are fine looking shoes, I'm almost guaranteed to get a compliment on them, so long as I remain in an area of the world where shoes are not looked upon as a source of evil.
