Customer Reviews Vans Classic Slip-On Checkerboard

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.

RUn large because unisex sizing. Wore 3 times. Lots of complements. Easy walking around NYC

Fits well & so cute!

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

I got the pleather white for clinic shoes so I can wipe them off easily, super cute

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!"

Get Vans feel a little tight hopefully that goes away after breaking them in..

A little lighter color that I expected. Narrow

Great slip ons, fit a little snug compared to other vans in the same size though.

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.

Ran small

I love the style, but it has the same issue I have with all Vans - the size 8 is too small. If I go up a half-size, it’s HUGE! I’d give it another star if they did a better job with sizing. I feel like the 8 needs to be a quarter-size larger, but it’s just not an option. Too bad, because I love the designs Vans offers. In the meantime, I’m returning this and I know that given the sizing issues I have with Vans, it’s not worth exchanging.

I have many vans and even 2 others that are the same just different colors. These ones ( multi- tropic) are just a little too big I’m a 9 in women’s for Vans. Love the colors. I don’t want to return them either. Cause the 8.5 in women’s is just going to be too tight.

They are flashy and cute. Quite comfortable. But they came with a warning about being "trippable". So I'm not rushing around in them.

They look great!

Only two things I want to say - 1) People literally stopped me to compliment these shoes, 2) the material at the collar by the achilles is not kind to bare skin - so even though these look great with no socks/no-show socks, they're likely to give you blisters on your ankles.

The only thing I don't like is that you sent me a pair of returned shoes. They should be brand new all packing included. It looks like they were thrown in the box. When I order shoes, I want them brand new. Not having someone stick their feet in them.

I love them it was hard to put them on at first but once they was on it was all good??
