These shoes took a bit to break in. The top part of the shoe rubbed my foot the first few wears. Other than that they are comfy and cute.

I was really hoping to love these Vans, but I don't. They're okay but not something I pick up to wear often. I don't have huge feet (size 7.5), but the the top of the shoe seems very looonnnnggg. Otherwise, they're comfortable enough.

Love the look of this shoe! I like the fact that they are leather and can be wiped clean. They are casual but cute!

Received these as a gift and love them! Super comfortable, love that the bottom is thick. Normally a true 6 and these seem a little loose but with some thicker socks they fit perfect.

I'm usually an 8.5 in vans but I needed an 8 in these. Even with the half size smaller they still slip a little in the back but are still comfy. They are really cute on. I just wish I could keep the white rubber part clean.

Vans slip ons are hands down the best shoes for on the go. They slip on and off. Have own several pairs and will keep ordering them. Had one defective slip on shoe once but the problem was resolved.

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, 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.
