I really Liked these shoes fresh out of the box. But the color bleeds everywhere and it's not worth it. Maybe it's the material but I'm definitely upset

The material used is very hard and not comfortable at all. Adorable concept but my feet would never be comfortable wearing them. Fits true to size.

Unfortunately they were a little too big. They were pretty but also a little bit stiff. I am returning them.

Love the look. Loved Vans slip-on so much, bought 2 new pairs last year. When I first got them, I tried all the hacks for stretching them, even tried wearing them in a little, then put them away for the winter. Finally today, months later when still couldn't get my feet in comfortably, i grabbed my vans from a couple of years ago and out of curiosity, checked the sizes and the lengths. Newer model is about 1/4" shorter than older model in same size. Bummed I didn't return them right away.

i own over 20 pair of Vans, slip on and authentic I had ordered this Beauty Skull Classic "twice" and returned "both" Size 10 was too tight and 10.5 had too much room. I wish the size were accurate

I have two pair of Vans. They're a great fit but unfortunately this pair was so narrow I couldn't even get my foot into it. I am very sad but my niece was happy because I gave them to her!

I couldn't wear them for reasons given. The toe box was too narrow, but overall width was OK. I have an adequate arch so don't need extra arch support, but these shoes had very little arch support.

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
