Customer Reviews Vans Classic Slip-On Checkerboard

These are my second pair of classic slip-ons and I love the herringbone pattern, but these fit wide in the heels and slip off when walking. So disappointed since they're the correct size. Even put a heel pad in but they still don't fit right.

Love these shoes, but they have a lump on the inside of the top where the stitching is that rubs on the inside of my ankle.

Blisters, blisters, blisters! Super cute shoe, but sadly I will never wear them. The back of the shoe has stiff leather and a seam on the heel, which has caused nasty blisters on both of my heels. I have tried breaking them in by wearing the shoes around the house with socks, rubbing oil on the leather, and even hitting the shoes with a hammer....and nothing. The heel is still stiff as a rock. Do yourself a favor and look for a pair of Van's in a different material.

I have one word for this shoe, and that is, clunky. I should have noticed that this isn't a women's shoe. It's a men's shoe that lists the appropximate women's size corresonding to the men's. If you're looking for something clompy, this is it! I was looking for something slightly more refined.

I returned these right away - I didn’t find them comfortable at all. They really had no give to them. They might have broken in over time, but I didn’t have time to give them. I was headed out for a trip and needed immediate comfort. Stuck with my TOMS Avalons instead.

I have a wide foot (bunions) and it felt comfortable. However there is no arch support and that would have been uncomfortable over time. Would have liked a darker grey.

Good looking shoe, especially the burnt henna color. Unfortunately the stitching inside the shoe where the elastic vents were attached was so rough and scratchy that they were too uncomfortable to wear and had to b returned. In addition, their arch support was minimal and the insole couldn’t be removed to make room for an orthotic.

These vans are very stiff and the back heel is thick. This caused a blister on the back of my heel and does the same to my daughter who wears lots of other slip on vans. Only comfortable if we wear sock with them.

I love the look of Vans but they always run small. I ordered the next two sizes up, but these were just longer - still too tight in width.

Super cute shoe. I got the jersey blue/white. But it is not for you if you have a wide foot & high instep. Sadly, I could't even get my foot in! Going back. Love Zappos!!

These get clunky and heavy on my feet. Plus, they were a bit masculine for my liking

Made fart noise when walking. The inside of shoe make a fart noise with each step. I knew from experience when this happens it’s often a continuing battle of powder and other things to try to make it stop so I decided to send them back. But they were AWESOME looking

I really wanted to like these shoes but the over comfort is not there. I will wear these if they go well with the outfit but only if I don’t have to walk much in them. I wouldn’t purchase this style again. I’ll stick with my lace up Vans.

This shoes are very pretty but they are too narrow and I struggled to put my foot in it and I just tired when I did

The shoes are nice and at first are comfortable, however, after wearing them for a few days I started to notice that they were rubbing on my pinkie toe making it nearly impossible to wear for more than an hour, and then only with out much walking.

Stains quickly, but very comfy. They are not remotely blush or pink, despite looking like they are in photos. I normally wear 7-7.5 and in these I’m a 6.5

I was looking for a substantial and +/- stylish alternative to lace-up athletic shoes for very casual wear. I really like the look of slip-on Vans but returned these for 3 reasons: 1) the men’s 7/women’s 8.5 were too big; 2) the canvas checkerboard style looked better than the solid leather; and 3) the leather ones smelled to high heaven - they had a very strong chemical odor right out of the box. Yuck. This was a dealbreaker even if they had fit. Sent them back.

These were just OK. I am a big fan of Vans and this is my first time trying their slip ons. The embossed leather just looked cheap in person. The sole is not very supportive and is rather stiff.

They made my feet look big and there was not much cushioning in the footbed. Also felt heavy; I think I would get tired in them after a while.

This shoe was very clunky looking, not sleek like I thought it would be. My family loves these Van's and they wear them, but not for me!

The shoes run smaller than regular sized 9s. The color was more purply red than a Cordoban, so we are returning them. Thank you, Zappos, for making this so easy and convenient.

Way too large.. by a full size!!

I've worn Vans in the past and was hoping to love this shoe, but it was too narrow. Thanks to Zappos's return policy, I can return them without worry.
