Customer Reviews Vans Classic Slip-On Checkerboard

First pair of Vans and I love them - I'm usually hesitant when buying slip-ons because they usually don’t fit right and they rub on my heels until I get blisters. Thankfully Vans fit great and they are comfortable to wear. I notice that most people say that they run a bit small, but I didn’t have that problem with the shoes. These are great shoes that look great. Thanks for the fast shipping Zappos!

Comfy casual. Comfortable casual shoe, not a big squishy marshmallow like so many sneakers. Good for walking. Understated.

Vans slip ons - These shoes are always tight at first, once you get about one long day in them; they hug your feet and feel really nice. I buy these shoes over and over in different colors, and they're always great.

Happy Little Girl with Huge Feet - My 12 year old loves Vans. She has worn out several pairs of checkered ones, which are no longer available, so we tried the large checkerboard. She absolutely loved them! One happy girl with big happy feet! p.s. the operator I spoke with was awesome!

Nice shoes - I really like these shoes. They look really good with jeans or shorts. Very comfortable, I walk around everywhere in mine.

I like Vans, and have owned several pairs (and just bought another, so...) but I have had two basic problems with all of the pairs I have owned- First of all, they are not at all comfortable. My job basically requires me to stand for very long periods of time, and while I don't think many pairs of shoes would prevent them for being tired forever, I don't feel as if Vans has bothered to make many strides in comfort level since the 60's. And DO NOT EVER take a walk in the slip ons without socks. I have scars from having tried this. Once. Second, they are in no way durable. My slip ons, which I have only worn for brief periods of time (never more than 4 hours, never for strenuous activities, mostly just to do laundry or go to the store) had holes in them after only a handful of uses. I doubt I've even walked 5 miles in them. Style wise, however, I have gotten many, many compliments. Most are from older people, but compliments nonetheless. They are classic, and suit my style well. But a few quality improvements would be greatly appreciated.

Tight at first, but now awesome - I have wide feet and they were tight to begin with but after about a week I stretched them out a little bit and now they're uber comfy.

Hot Hot Hot - These Vans are so fun. Both shoes have different colors; people think you have another pair at home. Like most Vans they are flat so I put inserts inside for comfort and they are great shoes and conversation starters. Love 'em!

Great shoe, good value - Pretty comfortable, especially for the price. Seems to be pretty high quality -- I already abused it pretty good in the first couple of weeks and it holds up well. Good workmanship, and a very awesome Iron Maiden graphic!

Bonefish slip ons - Unfrikinbelievable. I ordered these shoes on a Friday afternoon and had them Monday by lunch time. It was easier and faster than shopping at a mall. Customer service at it's finest. The shoes are great. Super comfortable and the style is bar-none. A great anytime casual shoe.

Can't Just Buy One Pair! I LOVE VANS!! Nothing makes me feel like it’s spring in the Midwest...than the first day I put on my "summer shoes." I went to order one pair of Vans...ended up ordering 3! They are comfy and if you can’t find a style you like, you just aren't looking. Classic and I'm no kid, I'm 53, but Vans make you feel like a kid at heart. I recommend a half size larger than you usually buy though, after reading reviews, that’s what I ordered, and I'm glad I did, because they fit perfectly!

YOU ROCKED MY 40TH BIRTHDAY!!!! This shoe is awesome! Feels like all the Vans I've had for the past 20 years...and I'm a size 13 shoe!

Fun, Fun, Fun - My Vans are really comfortable and get lots of looks. They are a great bargain, too!

Very nice shoes!!! I got these because I'm a huge Johnny Ramone fan. The shoes fit fine. They're a little loose because Vans doesn't make 12.5, so I had to get 13. I usually wear 11.5, but even a 12 was too tight with the slip-on Vans. A 12.5 would've been perfect. I'm glad I tried them on first before buying. Other than that, they look great!

Super cute - They are really cute and really comfy although I’m not sure if the price was too high or not…

Great Shoe. This is an awesome and stylish shoe. I love Vans and this shoe is Leather which allowed me to wear it to class in a clinic type setting. Comfortable and very snug fitting...

Awesome Shoes - Vans are awesome. All look good, feel good, and overall are the best shoes ever. Classic look is awesome; you don't have to mess with shoelaces. Awesome.

Great classic kicks! Nice deep brown and great classic style. Wore these kind of shoes in high school, and they’re still classic at 37. Can't go wrong with 'em.

Well the shoes were ok, they were really comfortable. The look was OK and they are really nice. I also liked the color.

Only Shoe I've Worn for 3 Years - These are a great shoe, super comfortable for the price.

I bought these Vans for some summer fun. They are cute as can be. The only thing I found is that they do not run true to size. I had to order a 1/2 smaller than I usually wear in this brand.

Way-cool teenager - I bought "Rose tat wt" and "Johnny Ramone" for my high schooler. He often gets compliments on his Vans and he's a cool dude. The Vans are popular with him because they are easy (no laces), comfortable, and make a statement. They could stand to have more arch support though.

Stylin'... It's not really an "athletic" shoe, but it is a classic Southern California look. If you need arch support or plan to do some running or some extended walking (Disneyland?), this may not be the shoe for you, but if you just need a casual-wear slip-on, this is the ticket. Vans Slip-Ons tend to run a little small, so I often buy a half-size bigger, but this time my 9.5 foot fit perfectly in the 9.5 shoe.

The Fido Vans - The pattern is cute, I love the comfort and the way the shoe looks. I wish all my casual shoes were as comfortable as this one. I prefer this one over the tie styles.

Vans Classic Slip-Ons - I wasn't going for comfort, so I wasn't expecting it, but these shoes are awesome! Not uncomfortable, but not cushiony either. I love the way they look with jeans.
