Notice the description “true white” is not what’s pictured. I stupidly expected to get the green with black checks as pictured.

I have another pair, same size, that I love. This pair in the same size was so small I couldn't get the first half of my foot inside.

My 19 year old loves the slip on Vans. I returned these because I knew she would get them dirty right away. I figured the white slip on Vans would be better so she could bleach them when they got dirty. She wears a 12 in Nike women's and wears 11 in Vans.

I bought these shoes for my daughter, she loves vans! I think the shoe quality has gone downhill though which is very disappointing considering the price I paid for these shoes. She had them for about 3.5 months before she noticed small holes starting to form around the seam. She just wore them every day to and from school so nothing excessive to cause that. I wish the shoe quality was better so I didn't have to replace her shoes every 4 months.

My husband found these a little small. He usually takes an 11, and upsized to 11.5. Still he found them a little tight and difficult to slip on and off. They are nice looking but did not quite fit, so we are returning. We order a pair of Hush Puppies, which fit perfectly so we are keeping.

They are what I expected. Not made for long wear and comfort but they look cool. I usually wear a 7 1/2 with most brands but I had to send back for a size 8 because the 7 1/2 were just too tight width-wise. The 8's fit just fine.

Very cute and wanted them to work, just too narrow in the toe box for me. Returned.

The shoe runs small. I wear a size 12 in women, I had to go up to a size 13.

I had the experience that the slip-ons fit way small. I usually wear a 10, but I could not even get my foot in to a 10. I am going to have to order a full size (at least) larger.

Classic Vans slip-ons. I usually wear a 10 so that's what I got. when I tried them on they were tight! However, they stretch in about a week and they are perfect now. Don't try them on and ship them right back it they seem too small, and if they come perfect, they might stretch too big. keep in mind these are the classic canvas types. Awesome style!

A good casual shoe. Don't expect arch support or other bells and whistles, but they're cute and go with everything. I wear orthotics that make the shoes a little tight across the bridge of the foot, but the elastic has loosened up some since I bought them and I hope they'll get even looser.

I like these shoes a lot, they are nice and comfortable and they fit just right. Not too heavy. They are brighter then I realized.

I really love these shoes. They're very convenient and they also look great. I wear them all the time, no matter where I go. Pretty durable too, thick sole. I should have ordered a size 6.5 or 7 instead of size 7.5 though.

Great product, well made and extremely comfortable. Only drawback is they are not the most durable. With regular wear, I usually replace them after 10-12 months but I see this as the nature of the design, not a flaw in manufacturing. I would highly recommend them.

I got these for my daughter, and she loves them. My only suggestion is to buy them at least a half size bigger than you normally wear because they run a little small. But once they get 'broke in' they are very comfortable.

I bought the Sherpa black/black. It's perfect for winter time since it's well insulated but at the same time simple, light, and flexible, perfect for walking long distances. I wish more shoes had the same inner insulation as these. The only downside is that the outsole and the outsole sides are not one piece and they are glued which would prevent these shoes from lasting more than 6 months since I walk several miles per day, but I only need them for winter anyway. The outsole is also a little too large throwing off the proportions a bit. But it is good value for very good shoes overall.

These vans are durable, will last a very long time. Could do without the leather though-makes them heavy and too stiff for casual wear, but I'm breaking them in. Vans would be smart to not have leather banding. It's not necessary.

Comfortable and perfect! Get a shoe just a bit smaller than your normal size so that the back of the shoe does not slip up and down against your heel.

While I wouldn't trade my Vans in for the world, due to how incredibly comfortable they are, I just want to know. What happened to Vans in the past few years? I remember buying a pair and they lasting me years and years and years before they fell apart and had holes in them, the past few years they have lasted me 1-2 years and that's without the teenage shenanigans. :( I'm very sad because they've also tripled in price.

This shoes are great! However this particular pair seem to run smaller than my other Vans. I suggest going a half size up!

1st, who doesn't want a pair of Vans checkerboard slip-on's! 2nd, the shoe was a little stiff at 1st and took a little breaking in just like any shoe. I have wide feet and these are perfect. Easy on and off. Love Vans.

While these shoes are super stylish, I don't think they are worth the price. I bought the mismatching red/black/white plaid shoes when they were available. They broke down pretty quickly, and everyone knows about the god awful "Vans slip-on stench" that happens about a year later. Socks or not, the stench is inevitable. Never pay over $30 for a pair of Vans off the wall slip-ons. There are much more quality comfortable shoes that last longer and are less smelly.
