I really liked the bandana/skull pattern of these slips but they are very tight across the top. I don't have high arches or fat feet either - they just felt tight around the top of the foot. I ordered the lace-ups in the same pattern and will keep those.

I bought another pair of purple check in the same size and these are shorter narrower and snugger over the instep. They are starting to stretch out with wearing but I would have liked them to fit like my other size 12 does.

What a fun shoe!! I got so many complements on them when I wore them with jeans and a red blouse.

Great shoe with excellent styling. I have a narrow foot but bought this shoe anyway. I put an insert in it and it’s almost perfect. I wanted a nice slip on shoe and it is.

Truly a classic look and feel. Having worn this style since the 80's, I know what I'm getting every time. Love the print! So cute with jeans or a dress.

I was really excited for white on white checkerboard. But it’s more gray on yellow or off white. Think ivory wedding dress. I bought three style and this is my least favorite. Surprisingly, I thought these would be my favorite.

These were a bit tight width-wise for me, but ended up being perfect for my niece who has a thinner foot. Her win, because the look of these shoes are terrific. Love the "burnout" pattern.

This is my first pair of Vans. They fit very well and are fairly comfortable. I haven't worn flat gum rubber soles in many years, so it will take a while to get used to them. I bought them mainly for the 'Samurai Rising' graphics and the look is great! I will keep Vans in mind for future shoes.

I got a pair of the 'Samurai Rising' slip-ons. I got them for the nice artistry and bold colors of the design. They fit perfectly and feel OK. It's been many years since I wore flat gum rubber soles and I will have to get used to them again. They look great though, and wearing them for a few hours at a time won't be a problem.

I have a high instep and had a hard time getting my feet into these shoes. They seem a bit smaller than I remember. Love the style and colors.

They are cute but so hard to get on but i think that's just the 1st time because the material is so stiff. I had to really work my foot in there and then it felt just like the other pairs i have.

I was really surprised when I put these shoes on, I am used to having to break in all shoes. These are great from the beginning, I got the size I always wear. The vans no show socks are great along with these shoes also.

The shoes look very nice. They’re a little narrower than my other shoes. With my socks on, they feel a bit tight. They don’t bother me too much though. The more I wear them, the more I get used to them.

They fit nice. A little narrow. I read somewhere to put them in the microwave for like 30 seconds and then put them on. I did that and highly recommend.

Had a little difficulty getting the shoe over my heel, but fit great once it was on. I think the leather heel that prevents slipping, is what caused the difficulty. Despite the difficulty getting my heel on, it did not hurt to do so and did not hurt during wear. I'm confident it will ease with wear.

My arch was too high. difficult to get shoe on my foot. Prefer a lower profile in upper part of shoe & better arch support. Very cute shoe

These are a big hit in our household! Vans brings about style and versatility every time. BUT- they are not ideal for an every day shoe for a growing foot. They do not provide support for the arches. I allow the kids to wear them from time to time, but much prefer an athletic shoe that fits their gait and foot measurements to a tee over these for the times when they are in a shoe for longer periods of time. The kids would say, "We love to slip on and not tie laces!"

I purchased these as a gift for my (almost) teenage niece and she loves them! I didn't think I'd like the rainbow colors very much but I was so wrong! They're way cuter in person and now I want a pair for myself. In my opinion these run very small and we needed to go up a full size.
