Love the eye pattern! I wanted these to fit my giant women’s size 11 feet so badly but it was just not meant to be. :(

They should make note of the material they are made of. “Tumbled White”? Had no idea they would be synthetic leather..so I returned them. Have canvas ones in the way, but it would saved everybody some time and postage

Got a blister on my heel the first time I wore them. Love the classic Vans style and the color (Pink Lemonade), but OUCH!

They’re beautiful but too tight. I have other Vans so I don’t think it’s me.

Because they only come in a medium width, I ordered a size larger as was suggested on the website. They’re still too narrow for me and I am not able to get them over my instep. I will be returning them.

Being a size 8-1/2, these slip-on's look like canal boats on my feet and the Red Roses color, which is sweet, will only draw attention not compliments.

These shoes are iconic. And honestly, that’s about all they have going for them. They are tough to put on because they are so stiff. Overtime I know that will not be the case. I will not hesitate to throw these in the washer.

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 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

Hoka, Keds, Puma

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.

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.
