Customer Reviews Vans Classic Slip-On Checkerboard

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.

disappointed in toebox area of shoe. not much area for foot. couldnt get foot in. look nice tho!

They are fashionable

They are pretty

Super cute but gave me terrible blisters in the back. The material is stiff and abrasive. I wore them out and walked a short distance before my feet were scraped and bleeding. I guess I’ll try with socks for a while and hope they soften up.

Shoe material was stiff and rigid on top and thus not comfortable.

Don’t order if you have bunions! Got a blister within the first few moments of wearing.

Cool looking shoes, however, they were way too narrow. With a pair of socks on I could barely get the "slip-ons" on. I really wanted them to work, but no. Way too narrow, for me.

Sadly had to return these. Fit was surprisingly uncomfortable.

This review is related to the Moto Leather Birch Vans slip-on. I have done a review on their classic canvas slip-ons which I LOVE, but the leather version was not great for me. I bought it in my normal 7 size, and it felt very narrow/tight and also shorter (my toes brushed up against the tip when they don't in the canvas). The overall look was the same as the canvas, and I wanted to love it, but it just didn't work for me in the leather. In the future, if I try the leather versions, I think I'll have to go up a half-size to one-size bigger to accomodate the tighter feeling of the leather. On a side note, I like the off-white color of the leather and the ribbing was a subtle but added some nice texture and flair to the shoe.

These are not my first pair of Vans and I was looking for another pair that was unique. I love the color of the gray/violet. What I am very disappointed by is the front of the shoe constantly hitting the top of my foot. With each step the top of the shoe digs into the top of my foot. I think the material/color makes this material seem stiffer than my previous canvas pair. Overall the size fit me perfectly, with or without low cut socks.

Photo looks like Cream suede with a white sole. Vans “Ambrosia” suede is actually a mint/pistachio colour. Returning now.

I read to go a half size smaller but that's not true. But also these are so crazy stiff I could barely even get my foot into it, let alone walk comfortably. I don't understand the popularity.

My first pair of slip ons and they are too tight.

Love the color and style, but shoe very heavy! Had hoped for a casual but lightweight summer slip-on shoe.
