These were exactly what I wanted. However, the opening was so small I couldn't get my feet in them. So bummed. My 11 year old granddaughter wears the same size as me but she's skinnier. She couldn't get them on either. Will have to return.

I wanted to be able to slip on the shoe without bending down to put it on. The back of the shoe is not firm enough for me to do that. My son loves the shoes.

Second purchase to arrive at proper fit. These are longer, not wider nor higher. Alas, no Vans for me. Gotta return for refund.

I have been wearing Vans for years, both slip-on and lace-up. This pair was so hard to get on my foot and once on the back dug into my heel. I even bought this pair in a women's 9 whereas I've always purchased 8.5. There was definitely something very off with the sizing.

Unfortunately this pair of slides are far too tight across the top. So much so that my on couldn’t get his foot in, I attempted to also get my foot in to stretch it out and found it very difficult. This was a very different experience from several other vans slides our family owns.

Sneakers are very cute but the elastic part inside scratched my feet just from trying them on. Something is very sharp poking and scratching on both side of sneakers.

I loved these until the fabric on the uppers began to shred and peel away from the canvas underneath. Zappos of course refunded my money and I will try another pair of Vans.

They look good, but the top of the back has never stopped giving me blisters after ~2 years of use. So unless you want to wear these with socks all the time, look elsewhere.

These are great color and great style. Padding around ankle is great, but footbed has ZERO comfort and no arch support. How has Vans gotten away with this for so long?

I bought these for my tween, and just be aware that the size 5 women’s is a full size or so smaller than the kids size 5. They both show up in a search for that size, so be careful. The labels show them as different eu/uk sizes but the same US size.

Even the slip-on is almost impossible to get on. Then I read online you need to "microwave them for 30 seconds." Really? I tried that and then walked in them thinking it might work. Apparently the men and women's shoes are the same with size variance. They are not walking shoes. Too flat. They are some kind of "skater" shoe. I liked the floral pattern and tried to make them work. Now, since I walked with them outside, it's too late to return.

Black sequins- If you’re an avid Vans lover, these are not for you. The sequins make them stiff and tough to put on. They were super uncomfortable to wear. I don’t recommend.

These shoes look neon yellow & came more like a mustard color so I had to return. Love everything about Vans though ?

Ensure you check the description before ordering. I received olive green with white checkerboard Vans. I thought I ordered olive green with black checkerboard based on the image. Otherwise the shoes fit great! Unfortunately, the color combo I was looking for is no longer available on site. So bummed!

I ordered the classic slip on in the Rainbow Jersey style/material. With the first pair that was delivered to me, the material pulled away from the side panel of the sole, it was unclear if the material tore or if the glue simply was irregular there so Zappos sent out a new pair that arrived a day and a half later and were very helpful with return. The second pair has done the same thing, but have pulled away in more than one place on both shoes. I believe a similar thing happens with the suede styles. It's unfortuanate, as the shoe is versatile and comfortable for summer. I will likely just keep these, as I have no faith the next pair will not do the same. Beware with the softer materials in this otherwise fantastic show.

Just not comfortable to wear. No support and sole doesn’t bend at all when walking. It’s like walking with flippers on

The shoe was much flatter than I wanted. I have flat feet so this didn't work for me. I was hoping to just wear them for awhile but wouldn't work.

Ugh ugh ugh. I hate it when this happens. These shoes looked cute online so I ordered them. Wore them on carpet for a couple minutes and they seemed fine, so I kept them. Wore them on a short walk to the grocery store and ....AGONY. They rubbed on the sides of my feet causing huge blisters. I HATE THEM. Wishing I could return them.

I have bought this color combination several times since I was a teen and this is the very first I have been disappointed with. The color was yellowish; like a deep cream color vs. the classic white/true white and the checks were woven color dyed vs printed on. Very different than what I have gotten used to the last 20+ years. Super sad since my old ones are totally worn. Going to have to settle for another color combo.

Pearl Suede runs smaller than my other Vans. They are extremely stiff and very difficult to get on... can't really even believe Vans put these on the market!

So cute! Wanted them so bad but had to return them. Weird: I've got VANS (same style) that are perfection. With my (extra) high instep, I could not get my giant, Size 9 foot in the shoe. Boo Hoo. O well.

Unfortunately this attractive shoe was way to narrow and uncomfortable. I’m a medium width generally. Have given them away. No Vans in the future

I am a woman with a size 12 foot. A shoe, such as this one, where a 12 is designed for a man's foot, just doesn't work with my narrow foot and heel.
