I bought this slip on two weeks ago and they fit wonderful and I go by quick when I'm in a hurry. I bought the blue checkerboard and they look great whatever I wear. I recommend to purchase these shoes.

Ordered these for my teenage son for Christmas. He loves them. Had a similar pair that he wore for 4 years.

They fit well and they look good. Haven't had them all that long but so far I'm pleased with the quality.

I am 17 and I have been wearing these shoes since I was 12. I can't even count how many I've had but overall great shoes and the black and white checkers are the best ones in my opinion.

Classic shoe, great fit, super comfortable. Will definitely be buying these again when my new pair wears out.

These are so comfortable. They're easy to slide on, and they don't rub or blister. Great shoes all around.

I bought these shoes for my son. He keeps talking about how comfortable they are. He wears an 8.5 and I bought an 8.5. Fits true to size. They are very black and look nice for everyday wear.

It is nice to be able to get a bigger size when you need it.

This is my 2nd pair of the Tan (suede/sherpa) Vans. I love them! I also have them in Black suede and Chocolate Brown suede. These are one of my favorite shoes. They keep your feet warm and run true to size. You will like this shoe. I wear a women's 8 1/2 and ordered the Mens 7/Womens 8 1/2 and they fit perfectfly.

I wear these shoes daily in an office and after only two months they are already falling apart. The sole is peeling back from the upper in several spots on both shoes.

Great fit! Great style! Great durability. Can't go wrong with classic slip-ons and the black on black argyle looks great.

I've gotten the classic slip-on as my go-to pair of casual sneakers for almost six years now. They wear out about every 2-3 years with daily walking (either the canvas tears up eventually or the sole wears thin), but they are comfortable and light. I have wide feet and high arches, but they suit me just fine. Also the slip-on is great for getting through airport security quickly! I've owned this particular style for about a month and have gotten tons of compliments, they're super cute.

So glad I bought a pair of these. At first I was skeptical of sizing since I wear an 8-8.5 in womens; I ended up purchasing an 8 and it fits perfectly with a pair of socks. Super fast shipping, within the next 2 days.

Excellent shoes. I had bought them for my husband and they were exactly what he had expected. I'm so glad they had brown because no other store has brown besides the main Vans website.

Great product, well made and extremely comfortable. Only drawback is they are not the most durable. With regular wear, I usually replace them after 10-12 months but I see this as the nature of the design, not a flaw in manufacturing. I would highly recommend them.

The shoes look good and feel great, but the durability is pretty crappy. After only two months of near-daily wear, the rubber is already cracking in places, and the stitching on the upper is already starting to come undone. Maybe I'm just used to more durable shoes, but this seems pretty poor.

I got these for my daughter, and she loves them. My only suggestion is to buy them at least a half size bigger than you normally wear because they run a little small. But once they get 'broke in' they are very comfortable.

I bought the Sherpa black/black. It's perfect for winter time since it's well insulated but at the same time simple, light, and flexible, perfect for walking long distances. I wish more shoes had the same inner insulation as these. The only downside is that the outsole and the outsole sides are not one piece and they are glued which would prevent these shoes from lasting more than 6 months since I walk several miles per day, but I only need them for winter anyway. The outsole is also a little too large throwing off the proportions a bit. But it is good value for very good shoes overall.

I have bought several different Vans for my grandson and he is always more than pleased with them. He has tried other styles but this one seems to be his favorite. He says they are very comfortable and has never had an issue with the way they fit. I have also been more than pleased with the service I receive from Zappos.

I tried out a pair of these because I have always liked the way Vans look and thought the leather might help make Vans work in Oregon. I will also say upfront I just barely tried them on and they felt too narrow for me so I didn't walk in them for days or years or anything, hence my opinion is more of a "first impression" after walking around my house on my carpet in them for a few minutes. However, after walking around with them on for a few minutes I decided I just don't get why people would like Vans. No support, no cushion, just a flat footed feeling to walk in. They felt a bit like my Converse high tops which I would also say are not very comfortable either really, even though I own three pairs. Which leads me to my final conclusion which was, this is a shoe like Converse or Dr. Martens, you don't wear it because it is super comfortable. You wear them because of the style and statement and eventually you get used to the way it feels and maybe even to the point of liking it or just not knowing any better.

Insole felt weird at first (around my heel) but they broke-in and fit and feel great. Checkerboard design is cool. Nice to slip on when you're too lazy for laces. I'm surprised I bothered to write this for that matter. Gnarly dude. That was my skull!
