Super comfortable for walking around. So many color options. Sole has a decent amount of padding and gives decent support. Doesn't bother my heels like some slip ons. I'd buy these again...

I ordered these for my husband. He's not a casual shoe guy, but I decided he needed a lightweight pair of slip on's for our trip to FL. First off, they fit perfectly and he liked them. The shoes gave him an air of looking twenty years younger! Although I was a bit taken aback by the shoes appearance. We ordered the camoflage and one shoe top is blue, and the other plainly green. I thought we had gotten a mmismatched pair. But upon closer inspection I discovered that it was all one fabric. Whatever..they're cute and he's happy, but I do keep wondering...why didn't they match the tops up better?

My son loves these. This his second pair. Easy slip-on style. We found the sizes run small. Normally he wears a 12, but he orders a 13 in this style.

A nice addition to Vans collection. My son loved these. He is a big fan of Vans and always has a pair (or 2) in his closet. Nice color and pattern.

Great shoe, really versatile and will go with any look. Gotta break 'em in and be careful if you don't wear socks with these because you might get a blister but overall I really enjoy these shoes.

First and foremost Zappos rock! I wish everybody's customer service was this great! I've noticed that with the canvas slip on's they always take some time to break in. The canvas needs to stretch out and I have to break them in slowly (like wearing them a couple of hours a day for about 3 weeks). I never have this problem with the leather slip on's. I bought the Purple/pink tie dye and they looks great...however, they are not really tie dyed (they look like they are screen printed...which they did a good job/very convincing and would be hard to tell if it wasn't for the fact that they have the very exact same pattern on both shoes and that is nearly impossible in the tie dying world). I like these but I think I will stick to the leather slip on's from here on out. Peace!

Vans slip-ins are my holy grail shoe. I love that they come in half sizes unlike Converse. I also have poor balance and a tendency to trip. Vans prevent that. They make me feel really stable when I walk. My last pair started developing holes after 9 months, which is OK with me as I live in New England and do a lot of walking. Zappos shipping was fast as always.

These Vans checker board black slip ons are truly classics. There is absolutely nothing wrong with them. I do notice that I have to go half a size down for slip ons.

These are great slip-on sneaks, perfect for bike riding, beach, etc. Comfortable with or without socks. I think I've noticed that this model is slightly less comfortable than its close cousin Vans Classic Slip-On™ Core Classics, but I can't figure out why. Didn't see a difference in the descriptions.

Classic and comfortable. My only issue was, I originally ordered my usual size, only to find them a little tight. A half size larger, and they have been perfect. I've been wearing them for several months, and they have withstood my daily retail inventory grind very well so far.

Felt these were too big and clunky for a woman's shoe. Looks more like a man's shoe. Loved the denim look, but just not quite what I wanted.

Love these! They don't last too long when you wear them every day. I buy a pair a year. How can you go wrong with a Spicoli classic?

These shoes are cool and fit great - very comfortable. Only issue was I needed to return a couple pairs because each shoe's color was so different they didn't look like a pair.

They're Vans and they Rock. Always true to exact size. If you 1/2 size up for sock room, they will be 1/2 size too big. Love Vans.

I love my Vans! The black on black effect is from a black print on black fabric (in case you're curious). Perfect casual slip on that doesn't make me feel old.

These are very comfortable. I have wide feet and ordered a half size up and they fit perfectly. They are great to slip on to run errands. I wore them on a short hike while in Alaska and they allowed my feet to grab the uneven ground so I felt steady.

Fit very well, comfortable to walk in for daily casual use, but after 4 weeks, the seams began to seriously unravel until the whole top of both shoes flapped like a sail looking for wind. Sorely disappointed for such a big name as 'Vans.'

I wore Vans in the early '80s. Every decade or so since then, I buy a pair and wear them until they wear out. I've always found them comfortable and stylish in a retro, nostalgic kind of way. But I've noticed something different with this pair. In the past, I've worn them as just "kick around" shoes: to hang out, run to the store, grab a bite, etc. Now, I live in a city where I mostly get around on foot. Although very comfortable in the short term and for short distances, I find that after wearing them all day and walking everywhere, my feet are usually killing me. It could just be that I'm getting older, but I'd recommend these shoes only if walking isn't a major part of your day, not if it's your main mode of transportation.

Great fit and classic styling.The only negative is there isn't enough support for all day wear.

Love Vans! I wear them to work & play. I love the color of these particular shoes, I'm an artist so they fit my personality. The best part is that they're slip-ons. Comfortable too.
