Customer Reviews Vans Classic Slip-On Checkerboard

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.

So disappointed in the dusty blue checkered vans. They are more grey than blue.

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!

Ordered 2 pair of size 9.5 Got a smaller size on one, even though label said 9.5 Bad quality control

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!

Returning these. Even though I wear a size 8 in ALL of my other slip ons.these are sadly too small.

I did not get my Vans family discount

I have many pairs of Vans and love them. They all fit great! But these pair have a problem. The left shoe is smaller than the right. I'm sure I ended up with a defective left shoe bc the right one feels perfect. But with not expecting this defect, I wore them all day at work, so am unable to return them now.

I've always worn the same size in vans, I've worn them for years and these are way too small, they don't fit. The sizing is off and I need to return them now.

I only say this because they have yet to restock. I've been consistently checking for months now. Can't find the color I want anywhere.

I was so excited to get these shoes ......totally disappointed. Socked feet slip around on the fleece and the foot bed is rock hard.

the left shoe came with an ugly mark on it. The right shoe fits weird in the heal. Vans refused to send me a replacement when they had more in stock.

I ordered these thinking they are a light brown. They are not. They are more of a purple than anything. The picture is very deceiving.

Bought 2 pair at the same time. Blk cozy slip-on and the Blk MTE mid-slip. Received email that the cozy slip-on was ready to be picked up at my local VANS store in the mall. The mid-slip would be sent to my intended destination. The 1st pair I picked up had nothing that would indicate it was a new shoe. Just thrown in the box. No paper stuffing and wrinkled creases. My guess is free shipping means you may be required to pick it up at your local mall so VANS can save in gas

I've bought a pair of these shoes every year for the past 6 years. The most recent pair was horrible. I could barely fit my left foot in and by the end of the day, I had lost all feeling in my left foot because the shoe was so tight. I'm sure they're trying to save on costs and materials, but they're so uncomfortable, they're not even worth buying. Save your money!

I love most vans products but I have wanted these shoes ever since they came out. But they never have any size at all in stock, yet I get ads for this exact shoe every day of my life now. STOP SHOWING ME THIS SHOE UNLESS YOU HAVE IT IN STOCK!!!!!!!! YOU GUYS ARE EVIL, WHY THE WOULD YOU RUB IT IN MY FACE THAT I CAN NEVER GET THESE SHOES?????? If I see one more ad for these shoes when you have none, my head will explode and you can explain my death to my family. I hope whoever puts these ads on my feed rots in he11 forever. I love your products but why would you be so mean to me?????? I want to continue buying and wearing your clothes and shoes but this is too frustrating.

Been wearing Vans for about 20 years now, and never had a pair split open after only a month of use. Customer service was ZERO help. Do not recommend.

the color we received was definitely not the color shown

The design is awesome, the sale price even better, but I should know by how that if the shoe is on sale, there's something wrong with it. I couldn't even get my foot IN the shoe to try it on! What's going on with the consistency VANS?
