Customer Reviews Vans Classic Slip-On Checkerboard

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.

These run 1/2 size big so order down. Thankfully I tried them on in the store first so ordered the right size. They're a little stiff, too, initially tight across the front and also stiff in the heel (blister city!). I took them to the shoe repair place and asked him to stretch them a little and they felt much better. He also softened the back/heel, and that helped a lot. I'm sure over time these break in well; I just needed it to happen more quickly.

They arrived quickly and are true to size. I could have benefitted from a wider width but they are still comfortable just won't be wearing thick socks with them.

I really like this shoe, but I had to go up one full size to comfortable. FYI: they can be washed and still look good!

Love the pattern. Super cute. The elastic part that hits the top of foot will have to get worn in a bit - right now it hurts. I have very sensitive feet in that way though.

These look essentially exactly like the photos given here. The slip-on is easy to slip on (and stays on, is not too loose). It looks good and is comfortable. If you have worn Vans before, you know that they basically have no padding or support and that the soles usually wear out quickly. So, these are not for serious athletic activity, running, or even long walks. But if you want something that looks good and to wear just for basic hanging out, then they fit the bill. For me, this was about the style and basic feel - almost like slippers, but ones that you can wear out and about and still look cool in, etc.

I really dig the look of these shoes. I have trouble wearing most sneaker-type footwear but Van's slip-ons are comfortable even for my arthritic toe-joints. My first pair had some structural issues and Zappos was very quick to send me a replacement pair. Great customer service.

Stylish and comfy in a retro way. Little arch support, so (for me) better for cruising around town than a long trek. The first pair was too tight so I exchanged them for a half size larger, which fits fine.

Love the look! I'm a full women's 11 and at first I ordered the W11/M9.5 but my toes were hitting the end of the shoe so I went a half size up. First time I ever had to order a 11.5 but it is a unisex shoe. The back is rubbing my heel a bit but I think they'll break in. Also a bit wide but again, this shoe is also made for a dude's wider foot.

I love these shoes and was excited to get them for biking around the city. Unfortunately, the canvas separated from the side within the first week, and I had to glue them. So disappointing for such expensive shoes!

Sharp look and nice overall fit. My only small beef is I wish they would have been stuffed with brown paper to help keep their shape. I stuffed them myself because the material is different than your average Vans and I want keep them looking dazzling.

Neat looking shoe but not for someone with high arch. Literally could not get my foot in as the elastic gores don't stretch enough. Love the look of these classic shoes though.

I've had these shoes for about a month and overall I really like them...I thought I would love them. I bought them because of the very creative cheetah design (which I get tons of compliments on) and the fact that they are easy to wear. The problem is because they are a unisex shoe they are a little wide and clunky (putting inserts in has helped). By the way, I wear a 9M. They still feel roomy but I guess I've gotten used to it because I seem to wear them a lot.

Love these shoes! I wear vans all the time and the leather doesn't breathe like the canvas but they are great for cooler weather. My only mini complaint is that the snake pattern doesn't match on both shoes.

I just received the overwashed black/checker Vans in 6½/women. They are a smidge big, but not enough to size down. I think they will fit perfectly if I wear them with socks. I am exchanging them because the pair that I got were defective, laughably so. At the heel, the rubber ends were too long, so they overlapped by a good half inch and then they just slapped the Vans tag over the gigantic bump, as if this would hide the glaring defect. I kind of cannot believe this made it out of the warehouse. I am hoping it is just a one-off situation, because I really like this style/color combination.

Of all the trendy slip-ons I've tried this year Vans are my favorite. They do look somewhat manly. The only drawback. So unless you have cute skinny legs they're better worn with pants/jeans. Definitely order half size down.

These are really cute. I previously bought the cotton (not leather) ones, and found those to be more comfortable. I think these are breaking in, and hopefully in time they'll be just as comfortable as my old ones. One other thing, the leather starts to crease pretty quickly.

Love these shoes. I wanted something that was easy to slip on and off, and had an element of fun. They're super comfy (could use a little more arch support). Luckily they're too small for my daughter or she would steal them.
