I bought these on July 18th and the sides are coming off. I have worn Vans since I was a k8d and have seen the quality decline in the last few years. To that I have an older pair that I have worn for a couple years and they are fine. Wish you made em like you used to

I usually love the slip on's but not these. The right shoe is super loose while the left shoe is super tight. Wearing them is incredibly uncomfortable.

Checkered Vans have been my go-to shoe for years, but the new pair I bought recently feel different. The previous pairs I has did not have the leather lining on the inside. The part in the heal of the shoe where the material changes from leather to canvas has chewed up my heal so bad that I can't even put the shoes on without feeling extreme pain. I've done everything to fix it, and my feet still hurt in theae shoes. I have had them for almost a year. It used to take me a week to break in a new all-canvas pair of checkered Vans, but these have simply become unwearable.

I've been buying vans for 20yrs & it seems like the quality is just not what it used to be. Had my classic checkerboard slip ons for nearly 2weeks & one ripped. I was running all over the playground in these for months & they would be just fine, now as a retail store manager, I can't even go a full 9hour shift w/o worrying they're going to tear on me. Kinda crazy.

These shoes came unboxed, not wrapped in vans signature tissue paper and were clearly returned by another customer. The heel cup on one shoe is already broken down. I paid full price but did not get full price quality. Will buy directly from vans.

Love the shoes, but they seem like worn, have used marks. Other than that comfy.

When I got the shoes, the color was a bit disappointing. The denim part in the sides were a little more washed out/lighter than the picture shows and I didn't get the wider range of colors in the actual stitching featured on the top of the shoe. But my biggest complaint is that the opening of the foot was WAY too small- I could not for the life of me fit my foot into the shoe and didn't want to force it. Unfortunately will need to return these.

The left shoe has a defect such as a cut at the beginning of the sole

Terrible. The color says green, but it nowhere close to green. It's more of a dark grey or blue. I wanted real green this isn't even on the green spectrum.

I am very disappointed with this pair of Vans. I have three other pairs of slip on Vans that I love but these do not compare. I often wear my slip-on Vans without socks and have no issues with all of the other pairs I own but this pair is really uncomfortable. After a few hours I cannot wait to get them off my feet, even with socks. What's worse is that this pair causes blisters on the back of my upper heals from rubbing. I don't have this issue with my other Vans because the material is different. This material is a leather/leather-like material that causes irritation whereas my other Vans are fabric. I hope this is not a change for all of the Classic slip-ons, that would be a real bummer!

I've purchased 17 plus pairs of vans this year, the sale items must be seconds or defects, having new brand name shoes fail in less than a month, probably 50 percent of purchases this year are already in the trash, come on these are small females wearing these to work and school, should hold up better, time to switch brands

I was really excited to get these shoes. I ordered a size 7 because i'm normally a size 7 but they were too tight and fit too small and left blisters on my feet :(

My son wanted checkered red vans, red is in the name of this color so I thought I was safe. It turns out the color is pink/purple. Disappointed

I have many slip on vans all the same size. This style runs long but tight!

I thought these would be comfortable with the sherpa fur but I was wrong, also I ordered the same exact size that I wear in the comfy Kush slip-ons but these were way too big for some reason

Sizing is on point for classic van's slips but this sherpa lining is NOT on par with other vans shoes (the platforms) that use a sherpa style lining; it's thin, and flat.

I have 10 pairs of Vans, all are 9.5 in size. This shoe is way to tight.

Kangaroo Colorway looks great, but it is NOT Sherpa lined like the other colorways appear to be from their pictures on the website. The shoe only has "Sherpa trim" on the side/collar of the shoe. The upper, footbed, and interior sides are the standard canvas material. Slightly disappointing..

Great design! Poor quality. They didn't have any structure to the shoe. The canvas was very thin.

Love the color and style, but the sizing is off. I got my normal size, too!
Sad about this! Two stars because of the funky sizing.

I was so looking forward to these. Cherry is a misnomer, try fushia maybe. They are more pink than red. my monitor has never been that far off and I double checked on my phone.

Cute, but really bad on the heel of your foot. Wore to a college football game and bar. Super painful.

Love the look of this shoe for my son, but after just a few wears, the rubber and canvas are coming apart at the crease where the foot bends. Disappointed in the quality and craftsmanship of this shoe.
