Customer Reviews Vans Classic Slip-On Checkerboard

Love the look and super comfortable! They do run a bit small. If I had to do it all over, I'd have ordered a half size up. They do stretch out over time but I'd still order them a bit roomier.

Love these shoes! They look great casual or dressed up. The fabric is a lot tighter than the traditional canvas Vans, and does take a little longer to wear in but they're definitely worth it!

It took a few wears before they felt completely comfortable but now I wear them almost every day!

I love these shoes but the size really varies per pair anymore. I have been wearing 11.5's for years. Now I have to order the same pair more than once to get the correct fit since they vary so much. Zappos is great though.

I thought the shoes were a little smaller than my normal size. I had to return the first pair for a size larger. Zappos handled the process great.

I have a pair of Vans B/W Checkers, size 10.5, for 3 years. Finally decided to get a new pair - this time the same but color Red/White and also size 10.5. I got the shoes today, LOOKING GREAT!! But it feels small and tight compared to the old pair which I actually wear with insole. The old pair feels MUCH more roomy. I don't know if the size has changed, or if the Chinese factory is trying to save money - but this is a definitely smaller 10.5 than the original which is made in Thailand. I'm going to send back and ask for size 11.

The pattern is great -- matches pretty much everything. The perfect easy-going spring/summer shoe for cropped pants, casual dresses and more. I had to exchange the first pair I bought for a 1/2 size down so they seem to run about a 1/2 size large as a woman ordering a 'unisex' shoe.

I was looking for a comfortable shoe for casual wear. These came super quickly, and were pretty comfortable. Overall, I'm satisfied with my purchase.

Theses shoes look great and are pretty comfortable but they don't last long. We continue to buy them so we don't have to deal with shoe laces in the morning before school. Not the best value but they work for my son!

Good shoe, not great if it rains outside or if its butt cold, like it is in Boston right now. Love the fact that its a quick slip on, holds onto structure, and is extremely comfortable. The sole feels a little spongy, but I am hoping that's because the shoe is new and needs a while to get pressed in.

Classic slip on what can I say. They look sweet and grip good. Little light in longevity but they're cheap enough to replace often. Run narrow so order up a size if u have a wide foot. Not a lot of arch support so I replace stock footbed with something better. Overall I love the kicks!

Great shoe, really versatile and will go with any look. Gotta break 'em in and be careful if you don't wear socks with these because you might get a blister but overall I really enjoy these shoes.

First and foremost Zappos rock! I wish everybody's customer service was this great! I've noticed that with the canvas slip on's they always take some time to break in. The canvas needs to stretch out and I have to break them in slowly (like wearing them a couple of hours a day for about 3 weeks). I never have this problem with the leather slip on's. I bought the Purple/pink tie dye and they looks great...however, they are not really tie dyed (they look like they are screen printed...which they did a good job/very convincing and would be hard to tell if it wasn't for the fact that they have the very exact same pattern on both shoes and that is nearly impossible in the tie dying world). I like these but I think I will stick to the leather slip on's from here on out. Peace!

These are great slip-on sneaks, perfect for bike riding, beach, etc. Comfortable with or without socks. I think I've noticed that this model is slightly less comfortable than its close cousin Vans Classic Slip-On™ Core Classics, but I can't figure out why. Didn't see a difference in the descriptions.

I love my Vans! The black on black effect is from a black print on black fabric (in case you're curious). Perfect casual slip on that doesn't make me feel old.

I wore Vans in the early '80s. Every decade or so since then, I buy a pair and wear them until they wear out. I've always found them comfortable and stylish in a retro, nostalgic kind of way. But I've noticed something different with this pair. In the past, I've worn them as just "kick around" shoes: to hang out, run to the store, grab a bite, etc. Now, I live in a city where I mostly get around on foot. Although very comfortable in the short term and for short distances, I find that after wearing them all day and walking everywhere, my feet are usually killing me. It could just be that I'm getting older, but I'd recommend these shoes only if walking isn't a major part of your day, not if it's your main mode of transportation.

Great fit and classic styling.The only negative is there isn't enough support for all day wear.

These shoes look pretty slick. They do not offer the most arch-foot support. I think these are a little longer than marked (I am a 13M) as I find myself tripping over the front when walking more than other shoes. Overall the style was good and I would consider purchasing a similar pair from Vans again, but maybe with a different insole.

These shoes are great and they are super comfortable. The only reason I gave them the 4 star is because they are pretty difficult to put on even with a shoe horn. Once they are on they fit perfectly. I am hoping they stretch a bit but I am concerned I am going to wear them out early by jamming my foot in them. Other than that a great comfy cool looking shoe.

A sharp-looking, slightly more cleaned-up sneaker. For me, it's work appropriate and super comfortable, though wish I'd ordered a little larger -- Vans seem to run small in general.

Really nice shoe! I have had these for one month and still get multiple compliments on them. I've owned several pairs of various Vans throughout the years and love to fit. Not as comfortable as a tennis-shoe, but they're not made for that.
