Customer Reviews Vans Classic Slip-On Checkerboard

I'm a huge fan of canvas vans, owning several pairs. I decided to try out a leather pair of classic slip on. Unfortunately I didn't like the feel of leather vans - although they fit perfectly, they felt a bit too heavy on my feet. I sadly retuned these.

Thrilled with the purchase of these sneaks. You can always count on Vans to be comfy, but this color is heavenly on top of that. Love the suede as well. I've gotten many compliments while wearing them. The brand does run a half-size large for me, so I order down and Zappos always makes any necessary exchanges easy.

I really love these shoes. They are comfortable and they seem pretty durable so far, though of course, keeping the soles looking as clean as possible is a pain. But they look great, feel great, and I get compliments on them all the time.

Great shoes. Very comfortable. Just wish they lasted longer.

Great, classic shoe. The checkered print is a classic look. The slips look great witj shorts, jeans, chinos, anything really. My only gripe with them is they take a lottle getting used to (like all Vans). Not the most comfortable shoe but just fine for hanging out and minimal walking. And you can't beat the fact that you don't have to tie them! Side note: I ordered a 9.5 instead of my usual 10 knowing they were slip on and I made the right call. The elastic has enough give to make them snug but not too tight.

Overall, these shoes have been great. I thought they felt a bit stiff and heavy at first, but I got used to them after a few days. I get a lot of compliments wearing them, and am definitely satisfied wearing them. One caution is that I don't think they look good with socks, unless they are cut super low (I wear them barefoot exclusively).

I love the classic appeal of these shoes. They felt really tight putting them on at first but I guess you have to break them. I am usually a 7.5, I had some fuzzy boot vans before it was an 8 and pretty loose. But for this one I ordered a 7 and they felt just right. No more space for socks though but I don't mind.

SIZING ALERT: Get 1 full size lower than what you normally wear! I wear an 11.5 in all other Vans shoes. I received these in 11.5 and they fit sloppy. I tried an 11 after that. The 11s were tolerable but I feared they would become too loose after they stretched out a bit. I finally ordered the 10.5s and they fit perfectly. I'm a man with an medium width foot and medium arch.

I purchased these and also the Pacific Isle canvas. I totally loved these shoes, but they dug into my upper heel (even though the length of the shoe was perfect), whereas the canvas shoes did not; guessing it's the thickness of the leather collar. I am returning these, sadly...

The pink was quite pretty, but the shoe itself is quite galumphy in both fit and appearance. I wear a 9M but these, even though they fit I guess, made my feet appear truly enormous. Very unflattering. Also very flat and unsupportive. I think if one had a high instep it might be better.

The shoe looks great and fits just as expected. The Port color is awesome! I have high arches so would have liked a little more arch support but other than that, these are very comfortable. I will likely be getting another pair soon.

These are the ultimate 'cool' and classy shoe that can be worn with many styles. The shoes are comfortable but don't have a lot of support. I wore them all day today and didn't have any issues.

Love these shoes -- slightly disappointed by the quality though. Wore them three times and the leather ripped. Got a replacement pair and so far they have held up...hopefully it was just a defective pair that I received originally. Zappos customer service is amazing.

Great shoes. The leather makes the shoe need to be broken in as opposed to other Vans but it looks stylish. I got them in black as well.

My first pair of Vans. Very comfortable shoe. Elastic is a little tight when you first try on but relaxes over time. All in all I'm happy with my purchase.

Bought these for my teenage daughter in her usual size 8, they are very comfortable can be worn with anklet socks or no socks great for summer. They do run slightly big, I'm gonna say almost a half size but not enough to bother her or for her feet to fall out of. Maybe a 7.5 would've been better it's hard to tell without trying both on.

Great looking shoe in the gold/bronze color. Love the style and casual trendiness. Women's 9 was the right length, but kind of narrow. Tight across the in-step so getting it on & off was hard & fit just not comfortable. Returning due to fit for me, might be ok for others. Perhaps 9.5 would fit better or other material might be softer, but really drawn to the look of these.

I love love these. Ordered by exact size and the back dug into my heels and I got bad blisters breaking them in. I love the look and hope I can still wear them.

My son loved the style. The blue is not too girly, but just right. He is loving his first pair of Vans!

The only reason this isn't a 5 is that the elastic has some rough ends (from when they heated the ends to prevent fraying) that scratch your foot if you aren't wearing socks. With socks it's fine.

I love the design and the color is true to the photo. The only negatives are: 1) the shoe is narrower than I expected. It's not bad, just somewhat narrower than I thought it would be. 2) I'd love a little more cushion in the sole. A little memory foam would go a long way!

These are cool and on trend tennies. They are so versatile you can even dress them up. I was disappointed that they weren't more comfortable. I had to add a gel insert in them and now I can wear them in comfort.
