Customer Reviews Vans Classic Slip-On Checkerboard

Love the shoe for my daughter but it has no give and she cannot even get her foot into the size 7 she usually wears in Vans. I'm hoping a size up will work.

Looked huge on my foot. I was looking for a athleisure sneaker that was still a little feminine and this is not it!

Super comfy, but looked a little bit like something my grandmother would have worn.

Love the style but was disappointed at the fit they were narrow and the stitching inside rubbed my foot. My daughter who has a narrow foot tried them on as well and felt they were too tight as well. I usually wear a 9 but ordered a 9.5 for the extra room but these were still too snug.

The two shoes are of markedly different color and slightly different texture and although 7.5 is my size in VANs slip-ons, both 7.5 and 7 were too big.

I got the pink perforated suede version of the shoe and I loved it until after 3 very light wears the outer material (the suede) started disintegrating. I could literally rub it off. I might order these again in canvas because I loved the style and feel but I would not recommend ordering the perforated suede.

Cute but a bit stiff. I don't have the time to break them in so will be returning.

I've been wearing the canvas pair for the past few years and it was super comfortable. I decided to go with this sueded one and the sizing is different. Way too big! It also felt narrower and I'm well into my 2nd week of wearing it and my feet still get achy.

I returned these. Not comfortable at all, and feel very heavy when walking. Too bad because they look good.

It's such a cute shoe!! I wish I could make it work. I have bought this shoe from two different places and have had to return both pairs do to fit issues. One pair was way to small and one pair is too narrow. It's bummer. I've worn Vans for many years and this is the first production issue I've run across. I have the same pair in a perforated White leather, I bought this summer and have zero issues. Just be careful with this one.

It is stiff. Rubs raw in certain spots. Might break in, but might not. Not sure it's worth keeping.

It's a shoe that is obviously made for unisex sizing. In closed toe shoes I most often take an 11, but the 11's were way too big on me. Wide and long. I'll be returning.

If you have a tall arch, or toenails that turn up like mine - fuggedaboudit, your foot will not be comfortable in these. Also they provide no support. They are OK for a teenager with no clue but for me? I need cushioning and support. They are very cute, though.

Great looking shoe, loved the convenience of the slip on, but not as comfortable as I wanted. The top part of the shoe by the ankle pinches after a while and the plastic thread is irritating.

For some reason, the black on black checkered Vans slip-ons fit much smaller than this shoe model in all the other colors that I have tried. I have ordered gray and black checkered slip-ons and blue and blue checkered slip-ons - all from Zappos, but the two times that I have ordered black on black I could barely fit my feet into them. I love this shoe model, and would try them again in a fourth color, but I do not recommend this color because the fit is much smaller than the fit typically is for this model.

I love the style but felt much tighter on my feet than other vans classic slip-ons. I returned them as I was concerned that they would end up giving me several blisters on my upper heels as the leather wrap around the back of the shoe was uncomfortable to me.

I couldn't figure out how to edit my review, but I felt it was fair to add a star. After I spent some money on "Heavenly Heelz" pads and padded the vamp and the collar, the embossed leather slip-ons are much more comfortable. They squeak if I wear them barefoot now with the pads, but what can you do...I will now be wearing them with the Smartwool Secret Sleuth socks, which are awesome and can be found right here on Zappos, by the way. Anyhow, I'm appeased and pleased now because I will be able to were them on vacation. Yay!

This is the second set of these Vans I've owned. Only difference was color. Style and size (10.5) are the same, only this pair doesn't fit properly and the first set fit great. Even after wearing for two weeks, they don't fit properly. Vans must have changed something or maybe they were mis-labeled.

Good looking shoes online. I normally wear an 8 or 8.5, so ordered the 6.5/8 size. The shoe was large enough I'll have to try a smaller size. But it feels nice and cushioned and the width is plenty wide, which I like. I have worn Converse as well and those tend to be very narrow for my feet.

We purchased these for my granddaughter. She has worn them maybe six times. The sole and shoe have came apart!

Loved these shoes from day-1, but am super disappointed that they are falling apart after only 6 months. The perf leather is a cool look, but not durable. I only walk in them—no rough wear, skateboarding etc. and the leather is coming away from the rubber. Big bummer.

This shoe is obviously built on a unisex platform. The length was fine, but the shoe is too tall for my foot, and just generally sloshy.

Been wearing these for years, but this is my first pair with very sharp seams under the "tongue." Looks like there's some glue on the seam or maybe melted nylon. Very painful when worn without socks. I'm sure this is just a fluke, since other pairs don't have this. But still...

I have no complaints about this shoe. I just wanted to let people know that this coral color is very pink (almost hot pink). When I put it next to a bright pink shirt it was almost identical. Also, it's not as washed looking as it seems in the picture. I am returning them, but will just look for another color. Thanks to Zappos for making returns easy!

This shoe runs big. And wide. I have wide feet, and this shoe had plenty of room. I am a 7, and could have used a 6.5 (or even a 6) in this shoe. They made my feet look gigantic, and the red was very clownish. Not a good look. Maybe black or gray, in a half size smaller would be okay. I have Chuck Taylors that are more stylish and more comfortable.
