The vamp is crazy tight. Tight to the point that I cant get my foot in the shoe. I have other Vans. Where's your quality control?

It's like the shoes are a full size or more LESS than the listed size. Neither one of us could get our feet into our new Vans shoes (mens 13, womens 7.5). Both of us are returning them.

I love my slip ons but my last pair is falling apart and now they have this anti slip stuff on the back of all the new ones. As someone who hates wearing socks this is no good. I hope they ditch this new addition to a classic.

Vans classic slip on are my go to shoes I've had over 10 pairs and these pairs were not it, I'm a size 8w and these came super tight and feel like their is padding inside the shoe I'll just stick to buying them at journeys because these feel cheap and not authentic

These are way smaller than my women’s 7 in the checkerboard Vans. Why? These are also a Women’s 7. Very different fit which is much narrower and smaller

I've worn vans for almost 10 years and it's time I admit that they are by far the most UNCOMFORTABLE shoe to ever exist. Unfortunately my work has a strict dress code so white vans are the only shoe that are "appropriate" and I've gone home with bleeding feet a handful of times. I recently just bought a new pair to replace my old ones & 48 hours after my shift my feet were still in throbbing pain from the blisters that were forming on my heels. I've been the same shoe size since I've been in middle school so it's not a size problem. After this pair I have, I'm done with vans until they are hopefully made more comfortable.

Omg! These shoes look great with my outfits, bought the proper size, wore them one night and my heels were cut up. Returned for a bigger size and they flopped off my feet and still cut my heels. So disappointed!!

These are the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever bought in my life. I've worn Vans perforated leather slip-ons since 2016. I needed a new pair spur of the moment, but my local Vans store doesn't stock them. The employee convinced me to buy the Classic in canvas instead. I attempted to wear them 4 times. They hurt my feet so bad walking around that I had to run into the Nike store and buy a new pair of shoes to save me from misery.

We have bought several (maybe 30 pair) of Vans slip-ons for our daughter. This Plum Wine pair manufactured in Vietnam was sewn badly/ incorrectly. The left shoe the elastic is sewn so badly it reduces the slip-on area by an inch and the right shoe they sewed the left side of the elastic incorrectly, reducing the slip-on area by a half inch. Quality control at the Vietnam manufacturer is BAD! It is NOT Vans quality! This manufacturer error will surely increase the probability of the shoes coming apart and this error will definitely damage socks. We've reached out to Vans and are awaiting a reply.

Within less than a month of my son wearing these shoes, they have started to fall apart. Not made well at all. I have tried to either get a new pair or a refund from the company and they have dragged their feet. Terrible customer service in my opinion. I sent pictures and then more pictures and now I have to send a third set of pictures. Would never order them again.

The problem was I paid for overnight shipping and the product didn't arrive until five days later.
Absolutely dissatisfied with this company.

Vans slip ons have been my go to shoe for several years. I love the simplicity and flexibility. However my most recent pair, purchased just over a month ago, have developed holes on both sides. I'm sad and disappointed that they lasted such a short time. I feel like the canvas is thinner and flimsier the other pair I've had in the past :(

Have worn a size 13 Vans for years ... this one was so small, tight it hurt my feet to even try on. Could not possible have worn them.

These are not only the worst Vans I've purchased, but one of the worst pairs of shoes I've ever worn. My heels are cut up and my feet hurt.

Ordered an 11.5 (my usual size) and these fit more like a 9-10. Super disappointing as I loved the design!

Been buying these shoes for years. Bought my last pair in 2022. Always wore an 8.5 women's. Bought a new pair (2024) and they are too small.

I bought the golden glow checkerboard slipon. The color is not the same as advertised. I've never been disappointed in a pair of Vans or given a single star. But I have to this time. Look at the color. It's not the same. As you can see from the video, I buy a lot of Vans and this is my biggest disappointment. The nearest store is 3 hours away, that's why I order online. I guess I'll just give them away. They were on sale, and it looks like I have to pay to return, so it's not worth the time or money.

I have had 3 pairs of this shoes and 2 pairs fell apart in the same spot after a few months of light wear. The third pair was a replacement which was defective out of the box. Vans offered to replace the defective pair they sent but I would have to package and ship them, then wait for the return to process before I would be able to get a replacement. The process is cumbersome and I am tired of the poor quality. I will cut my losses and move on to another brand. I don't want to risk getting defective pair #4! If you decide to buy this shoe, I wish you luck!

Very hard to put on. Back of shoe makes it impossible to slip on. I realize Vans are notorious for this but I don’t have the time of patience to wait for a break in.
