These are marked as a 7.5 womens yet clearly are not that size. I could barely get my foot into them. I always wear a 7.5 womens in vans shoes and these were so small and tight. Had to return them. I marked “felt one size smaller” only because that’s the most I could go as smaller feeling. Disappointed.

I love slip on vans and I have many of them. This particular style run small and I had to return for a half size larger.

I had bought a pair of the checkered vans in the past which were extremely comfortable and well cushioned. These vans are cheaply made and have nothing but canvas in the back so it tore up the back of my heel by my Achilles.

I had bought the checked Vans in the past which were very comfortable. These Vans are canvas at the heal with no cushion and tore the skin off by Achilles. Not the same quality as my checkered ones.

The pattern on this pair of shoes is great and exactly what my wife wanted, except it is almost like the right shoe is missing fabric on the top of forefoot. This makes it so tight, you cannot even get your heel into the shoe to wear it. Infortunately, I will have to exchange or return it because it is unwearable.

The shoes run so large AND they stretch out after a couple of wears. Shipping takes forever. Returns are not easy - still waiting on my refund. AVOID!

Bought a new pair in my regual size a few weeks ago. Way too tight. I bought two more pairs in the next size up. I realized the last pair were long enough, but they shrunk the size of the opening. Been wearing vans forever... these are awful

Fabric by elastic broke second time I wore them. Kids got them for me for Mother's Day and did not keep the receipt.

I wear a size 7 and I've never had an issue getting my foot inside a shoe before but I couldn't even get these on. They're the correct size and when I hold them up to my foot they're definitely big enough, the opening just has zero stretch. So much for a "slip on". Can't even wear them.

I LOVE the look of these shoes. but they are SO tight. I've ordered about 20 pairs of Vans online over the years and they always fit, but recently that's NOT the case. This is the THIRD pair of Vans I've ordered and had to return to my local store because they are ridiculously small. I ordered these a half size up - 11.5 - and they are still too tight even for my husband's foot and he wears a 10.5 shoe. Vans, what is happening to your shoes?!?!? At this point, I'm pretty much giving up on online ordering. Since I hardly ever shop for shoes at a store, you're losing my business. I can't be the only one with this issue. It's heartbreaking, because I LOVE Vans designs SO much. The stores have only a fraction of the selection the online site has.

I hadn't bought Vans before and was not prepared for the fact that no matter how "true to size" these are advertised, it turns out Vans shoes all run about a full size smaller. I couldn't get these things on at all. I have since gone to a real-life shoe store and confirmed that to get shoes that fit, I have to go up a whole size in this brand.

I used to buy these all of the time every year, for YEARS. But last year 2021 I discovered the 7.5 was suddenly too big, my foot slipped out. I tried the 7, too small as expected. I waited a few months, tried 7.5 again, too big. I even called and spoke with the representative to see if there had been a size change but they did not know. Just tried to order these again (2022), still too big - what happened??? I have these in white and black from 2019 and they fit perfect. Please go back to the original fit!!!

I wanted to like these shoes I really did but I haven't even worn them a month and they're already coming apart and I don't even wear them daily they are cute, But the quality just isn't there, so disappointing.
