They're Vans. Either you love them or hate them. I love them. As always, Vans Classic Slip-Ons are consistently sized & comfortable.

The service I got from Zappos was fantastic. I bought these for my nine year old grandson. Sight unseen. When he saw them he absolutely loved them. Selections in stores are so limited that shopping your site was great and you have the entire line of Vans which is great. I will use Zappos again to buy Vans.

These are probably the 7th pair of Vans I've purchased in this style. They are tight at first, but once I break them in they fit well. They are easy to slip on and are super comfortable. Glad they've come out with different colors!

Nice shoe, but very narrow. If you have clown feet, this one's not for you. Trust me, I'm not only the clown feet president, I'm a member.

Well, me being the finicky shoe shopper that I am, I found myself in a conundrum. I have worn slip-on checkered Vans almost exclusively since college. The only problem is they're running out of new colors for me to wear. Unable to find a color I liked on the actual Vans site, I found the unique purple/black combination on Zappos after searching everywhere. Thanks for keeping my wardrobe all my own!

I've been rediscovering Vans more recently after wearing many older styles back in the day. I've had pair of classic slip-ons in gray in 9.5 and they've been great. I just received these Chambray Black slip-ons in 9.5 and they felt noticeable larger where I was stepping out of the shoe. Small sample size, but definitely a discrepancy in 9.5's. Not sure if it's the Chambray Blacks I just received or my old gray ones.

Ummm, wow! These leather Van's slip-ons are more comfy than the traditional canvas slip-ons. They look and feel pretty classy. Perfect for a work shoe - no one knows or even notices that they are Van's. When I need to give my feet a break from the work shoes, these step in and save the day without looking out of place! The fit, quality and styling are superb.

Perfect fit, styling, quality, etc. It's what you would expect from Van's. The color is as vibrant as shown too!

These are awesome shoes. I used to wear them in High School and decided it was time to get a new pair of shoes to replace my converse because they die kinda fast in the city. I bought these in a half size up since they're kinda skinny shoes naturally. They fit perfect now!

Classic Vans slip-ons. I usually wear a 10 so that's what I got. when I tried them on they were tight! However, they stretch in about a week and they are perfect now. Don't try them on and ship them right back it they seem too small, and if they come perfect, they might stretch too big. keep in mind these are the classic canvas types. Awesome style!

With these fly duffs, I am able to both "big ball" and "shot call." Not a lot of shoes out there enable this kind of duality. Over my lifetime, I have gone through about 20 pairs of Vans slip-ons - from dressy leather ones to Ozzfesty Slayer ones. They are the bomb.com, with or without socks. Nuff said.

A good casual shoe. Don't expect arch support or other bells and whistles, but they're cute and go with everything. I wear orthotics that make the shoes a little tight across the bridge of the foot, but the elastic has loosened up some since I bought them and I hope they'll get even looser.

Important Note for those moving from Kids' sizing to Adult sizing. Where Kids' Vans seem to run about 1/2 to 1 size too large, adult sizes seem to run about 1/2 size too small. We had to order 3 pair of shoes to get it right, but no problem with Zappos' free returns.

I love Vans, not just because they come in a bunch of different colors and styles and not just because I'm a California girl but because they're a great shoe to slip on that you can wear with almost any casual outfit. I probably own about 15 pairs of Vans...and I will probably own a ton more. The stitching/color on these ones are way cooler than the picture shows. It's a bit of texture that really makes the shoe look even better.

I like these shoes a lot, they are nice and comfortable and they fit just right. Not too heavy. They are brighter then I realized.

Umm...first, this shoe is stylish. Very cool look & color (I got the black & Pewter, but the shoe was more of a midnight blue). However, I would rate this as a quite uncomfortable shoe! I read the reviews of this shoe & how comfortable it is but I didn't feel it. If this is a super comfy shoe, I cringe to think of the types of shoes other reviewers are used to! Admittedly it's an inexpensive shoe, but still! Also there is not much arch support to speak of & the soles are hard rubber and I could totally feel them when walking around. Finally I couldn't get the size right for my feet. I order the 12s and they were too small, then I sent those back & got the 13s, but they were slightly too big. I assume if these were lace shoes I wouldn't have that problem (just tighten the laces up a bit), but as they were I didn't keep them. Too bad, because I am looking for a semi casual shoe to wear to work when I don't have to see clients. Maybe I'll try another Van - laces this time. As always, Zappos was top notch & took care of shipping, returns without a hitch.

Most comfortable shoes. Period. The Italian leather is gorgeous and fits very nicely. Love the black bottoms and smooth leather upper. Just got them out of the box, and they are already on my feet. I would give 10 stars if that were an option!

First of all, I would like to express my thanks to the employees at Zappos. I ordered the correct shoes but wrong pattern. When I received the shoes, I called them up and they were extremely helpful with the exchange. Within 3 days, I had the correct new pair. The staff is very efficient, friendly and professional. By the way, the Vans Classic Slip-On shoes are awesome!

I've been waiting for these since the release of the Tommy G. syndicate editions. The leather slip ons fit a little tighter than the canvas version, but will stretch over time. The leather breathes a little so you feet don't overheat. Excellent dress shoes for skaters.

The shoes are extremely comfortable. At the beginning they might feel a little tight on the top, but only for a few days.
