Customer Reviews Vans Classic Slip-On Checkerboard

These are good old fashioned vans. They’re great, but the sizing is appalling. My daughter currently wears a 4.5, so I got her size 5’s. She couldn’t even get her foot in them. I exchanged them for 6’s. Same problem. The 7’s barely fit. Finally bought her 7.5’s. They fit nicely, but they are TWO AND A HALF sizes bigger than her other shoes. That’s just crazy. Even crazier - when she was a size 3, the 3’s fit. I wear a men’s 10, and the 10’s are perfect. I guess they just go insane somewhere in the middle. My advice: buy 12 different sizes and return 11. You’ll save yourself some time

I love Vans and wanted to love these but they were just a little too tight and it was in the back of my foot area. An area I was certain would not get better as I wore them. I will order another style as I love this brand and the quality and comfort not to mention style!!

Loved the shoe , however after two tries on the size, I have accepted the fact that these are not for me. The width was too wide for my foot. I was disappointed and returned them both.

These fit in my regular size, and are super pretty (I bought the Paradise Floral print) but I really need something with more arch support, so they are going back.

Just not right fit... Unlike Goldilocks, I never got the ‘just right’ feel. One size was slightly too big, while the half size down was slightly too small. You can’t beat the awesome look of vans but I needed a shoe that I could walk comfortably in and I ended up returning these.

I like them but slip ons aren’t for those with wide feet LOL

The fit was great but I did not care for the material.

1/2 size too large

I really could not get my foot into the shoe as I apparently have a high instep. I thought with the elastic, it might work. But it did not. I cannot, therefore, address comfort or size in any other respect.

I loved the look of this shoe, HOWEVER, it has no arch support and I need that. I tried to use my orthotic insert, but it wouldn’t work. If the insole had been removable then it would have accepted the insert. Too bad, so back they went.

Vans never have enough support for me, so I ordered 1/2 a size up to accommodate insoles. Pros: color was lovely (aura shift) and I received many compliments. Cons: color did not hold up in the rain. They became discolored and developed weird stains once dry. Pros: Great customer service

This is the first time I ordered a pair of Van's. The fit appears to be great. But the color....as others have indicated, it is NOT white and gray. It is a yellowish and gray. The description needs to be changed. Unfortunately back these go.

too narrow

Fit, comfort and style is great. Color is NOT as picture. They are YELLOW and grey- NOT WHITE/GREY. But they are so comfortable that I’m keeping them. Not fond of the color!

These are great shoes, but I found them too hard to get into. I returned them because I wasn't sure they'd loosen up enough to comfortably put on.

Purchased what looked like a vivid blue color online but looked more pastel in person. Not able to match with the clothes that I wanted to wear.

I did not realize these shoes are LEATHER. It is really hard to understand that from the description. I wanted plain white canvas.

My 14m year old niece LOVEs them!!

Perfect Style. I bought the Van's "rainbow checkerboard" for a gift, the exact ones she wanted. However, they only came in medium width, which was too narrow and had to return. So disappointed.

Went up a half size and that was the correct size. The seam rubbed my foot and that won't do in a shoe that you wear without socks. They looked great, though, and I was disappointed to send them back.

I am sure these would have been perfect except for the size came a men's instead of women's, so they are way too big for me. Of course, I threw the box away before realizing this. So I am now paying for shoes I cannot wear.

As expected

Cute shoes but no support so back they go

The sizing of the vans was fine and my toes do not pinch or anything. Maybe it's just a me problem, but the left shoes blistered the back of my foot so easily to the extent where at the end of the day the inside of my shoe would be stained with blood from the wound. When I wear these Vans I have to put bandaids on the back of my ankles to be proactive about protecting them. This does not happen with other pairs of Vans that I own, and they are the same style.

I love Vans. Always have and own several pairs. This particular style looks great but it was so tight around the opening, I could barely get my feet in. And I have very narrow feet.
