Customer Reviews Vans Classic Slip-On Checkerboard

I am an average size 7, so I ordered the men's 5.5/women's 7. They were too big and too wide. Style looked great but were a little too stiff and rubbed my heel so I will be returning.

Such a cute shoe however, they were not comfortable at all and they had pretty much no support on the inside. They were true to fit though and the style is adorable.

Haven't had any previous experience with Vans, but the color and style was nice and what I was looking for. They aren't as cushy and there's not much arch support for the price. I don't know if all Vans are made this way, but this style has very rough, exposed and what feels like plastic stitching where the sides and the top of the shoe are sewn together, which is abrasive and rubs on the top of my foot. Still deciding whether to keep them or not.

Loved the way they looked; loved the way they fit; wanted to love them, BUT, the seams joining the top of the shoes to the sides felt like fishing line digging into the top of my foot. Bummed.

Fit very narrow. Also need to purchase a half a size up from normal to fit the volume of my foot. I like the style, but they're just too narrow. It actually becomes painful to my feet after walking around my apt in them for a few min.

These are beautiful shoes! I so badly wanted them to work, but after 5 different tries, they gave me painful blisters every time.

Very cute, but weird fake leather. Not breathable so I returned them.

They made my feet look huge. Sent them back. They run big

I returned these. I thought they were ugly. Just my opinion. I have other Van slip ons, but these weren't pretty.

For some reason these are a lot less comfortable than my other Vans. I think they rub a bit weird in the back. I am disappointed.

This shoe was not supportive and the sides broke down/rolled over......Not customary of this type of shoe., He loves them, and I just got him another pair, this pair seemed defective

The length and interior width were good. However the upper is extremely tight and cannot be adjusted. Good looking show but had to return for bad fit. It felt like it was compressing my foot from top and bottom.

I received the Rainbow True White yesterday, only to discover that they were quite damaged. There were blue spots all over the yellow strip, a chunk out of the sole, and the inner sole cushion looked unfinished. Oh my, such a disappointment. They are super cute, and comfy; I need wide shoes after having kids, and these feel quite good. They just don't look good :/ Kudos to Zappos for their customer service and remedying the problem, but buyer beware!

I tried both the 7-1/2 and the 8. Neither felt very comfortable-- felt a little clunky or heavy. The 7-1/2 was too short but fit in the width. The 8 just felt big overall.

You don't have a wide option when buying this shoe however, when you filter on wide this is an option. I bought the shoes in a female 10.5 and I have a wide foot with no arch. The shoes were pretty tight. They do stretch a little but I wouldn't recommend them for ladies with wide feet.

Being such a popular shoe, I had to test out a pair. They are as described and meant to be a kick around casual shoe. They didn't have much support or cushioning so wouldn't be, for me, good for much of a long walk. I was looking for something more comfortable and supportive so returned them and am testing similar styles in Ecco and others.

These shoes were just ok for me, I felt like they were bulky and made my feet look bigger than they are... which is a bummer because I was planning on wearing them with shorts or ankle jeans and I looked like I had clod-hoppers for feet!

I bought the black, embossed leather. I bought my standard Vans size - a 9.5. I had just, within the last month, bought a white pair from this same posting. Anyways, the length of the shoe fits my feet, but holy smokes the hole to get your feet in is MINISCULE. Like, I have to do a serious dance to get my foot in. Which makes no sense because the white pair I bought is easy as pie, like most Vans are. Unfortunately I've already worn them once, so I don't think there is hope for a return. I just hope they stretch out / I wonder if this was just a defective pair. And on the bright side, my white pair are wonderful.

Shoes look good and feel good for the most part. Not sure if it's just me but the back of the shoe where it meets the Achilles is VERY pointed and digs into the Achilles heel. This is on both sides. Rest of the shoe is quite comfortable. I'm hoping this softens up over time but it's pretty uncomfortable if I'm wearing thin socks

If you have narrow feet these shoes can fall off from walking. Gave me blisters in the heal...

Cute and comfortable. But it runs a tad large, and that fact, combined with the fact that the sole is a bit stiff and heavy, means that you really need to find the right fit. I normally wear an 8 and this 8 is too large, but I can tell going down a whole half size probably would get too tight in the toe. There are more stylish shoes of this slip-on style out there.

Was looking for some all black in this style; the patent crackle felt so comfortable, but the black had a tint to it that I didn't quite like. Returned and got a different black leather pair of Vans.

These Vans in Grey suede are so cute and fit well, however, the stitching for the elastic is very rough. It would make the show very uncomfortable and/or cut your skin. You would have to wear socks to avoid this and I don't think that would be a good look for this shoe. Unfortunately I will return this shoe.

I really enjoy these classic vans but these unfortunately are going back. I got the ones with the furry inside. I needed some warm shoes for cold London and I thought these would be perfect for all that walking on very cold weather. Not so much so. All the sides and bottom of the shoes has fur but no the top of the shoe. This left me disappointed seeing no way this shoes would be warm without socks.

I bought two pairs of Vans slip-ons in 7½ and 8. I'd never worn them before, so I bought both, based on recommendations. I typically wear a 8N. The 8 was way too wide and long, but the 7½ had a perfect narrow fit. So I decided to keep the 7½. I wore them to class and work, and by the time the day was over, my feet were crying. I had a blister on my toe, and they were just downright uncomfortable. I was really sad, because they are super cute shoes, but they're just not for my feet.
