Customer Reviews Vans Classic Slip-On Checkerboard

I bought these Vans for some summer fun. They are cute as can be. The only thing I found is that they do not run true to size. I had to order a 1/2 smaller than I usually wear in this brand.

Stylin'... It's not really an "athletic" shoe, but it is a classic Southern California look. If you need arch support or plan to do some running or some extended walking (Disneyland?), this may not be the shoe for you, but if you just need a casual-wear slip-on, this is the ticket. Vans Slip-Ons tend to run a little small, so I often buy a half-size bigger, but this time my 9.5 foot fit perfectly in the 9.5 shoe.

Pink Vans - Vans are still the coolest looking shoe around. These fit snug across the top, so no fear of falling off, much looser in the toe area. I love the pink on pink colors. Vans are never a disappointment.

Snug, but I wanted to love them! I *really* liked these shoes and I could tell upon trying them on that the in-shoe padding was really comfy, but I couldn't wear them with socks, which I discovered too late. I've given my pair to a friend who can use them and I'm going to order another in the next size up. I think the problem here is probably the unisex sizing, yet these are awesome shoes.

Yea Vans - I have 3 pairs of Vans and love them all. They are incredibly comfortable, and well, they look GREAT! BUT, they get to smelling sooo bad. Their ventilation isn’t the greatest. My friends w/ Vans have the same problem.

Very cute! I purchased the black with conversation hearts for February. The shoes were very cute, but after a full day of teaching school, they became a little uncomfortable. Now that I have broken them in, they are a little better. I also thought they ran a little big.

Very cute --with some reservation - This is a darling slip-on, but you cannot just slip it on with bare feet or a thin sock. This is a unisex shoe. Therefore, it is wider where most might we narrower. I tried the shoe with a thin sock and the shoe rubbed and after a day or normal wear in an office where I sit most of the time I was aware of the discomfort. When I added a thicker--albeit black but more like an athletic sock density--the show was comfortable without any rubbing. I bought my normal size and the shoe feels wonderful with a thick sock--so it runs a little larger both in size and width so that a thicker sock makes the shoe comfortable. I am suggesting it is a half-size larger--but do not buy it larger unless you really push the next size. I am a true 9.5 medium and with a sock these fit me perfectly.

First Vans - This shoe is exactly as it is described. I'm 29 and getting my first pair of Vans. They are great for slipping on as you head out the door. Comfortable and easy to wear. I do hope the heel breaks in a little more, as it tend to rub a little at first

Spiffy but stiff - This shoe comes in tons of beautiful designs and always looks superb with jeans. It's quick and easy, sleek and simple. Has hardly any support at all, but you wouldn't buy this shoe for support, right? It's also a bit stiff, but probably just needs more breaking in. Pinches my little toe a bit, due to the narrow width. Unless you're being really active, like running or playing soccer, this shoe is an excellent trend-choice.

Awesome shoes - Great shoes - just the look that I wanted. They're a bit tight, though.

Overall a good shoe - I usually wear a size 12, but I needed a 13 for this shoe. Comfortable feel. I like them.

Nice Classic Slip-On - As you would expect of a Vans product. A little on the tight side as far as fit, but overall a good looking casual shoe.

Gray And Black Checkerboard Vans Slip-Ons - I was amazed at how fast they shipped - it really was overnight! The shoes, which were a gift for someone else, were here in two days and I had plenty of time to get them wrapped up. The only thing was, as I had read in another review of the product, the shoes did smell very plastic-y as though they had been stored for awhile. Other than that, they were in great condition.

Maybe they're not made for my feet... Whenever I wear these shoes, my big toe hurts. They're quite comfy but I think I just have big toes. But anyway, I would recommend this shoe for casual loungin'. I like how they're easy to kick off after work, and how easy they are to put on when I'm in a hurry.

Classic shoe -- no surprises - Although the phrase is a little ridiculous, slip on Vans really just "are what they are." They haven't changed in 25 years as far as I can tell (which is when I owned my first pair). They are convenient, look good with most anything, always in style. The major drawback for me is the lack of arch support, but I still wear them nearly every day, so it isn't THAT big of a drawback. I love them.

Classic Shoes!! I love to be in Vans. In the 80s there weren't as many different styles as today. I love my peace ones!! Thanks for making more than checkerboard.

Cool style, ok for flat feet. I have flat feet and these feel ok. They look cool with old jeans.

Vans Classic - These shoes are great. They look awesome and are comfortable.

The shoe that will go with any outfit - Vans are known for making comfortable shoes in hundreds of different designs and colors. With the large selection there's definitely something for everybody. These shoes are very comfortable. As soon as I put them on, they felt great on my feet. They made my feet look big (probably because Vans are wide at the toe), but they were comfortable nonetheless. I recommend them to anyone who has a good fashion sense and a desire for comfort.

Turquoise Vans - Fun looking shoes. Takes me back to junior high.

I like these! It's pretty good...the look and comfort. I would buy them again!

Stylish - This is a very attractive shoe. Kind of narrow for a wide foot like mine... Order a size bigger, otherwise very cute!!

Vans Slip-Ons....comfy as heck! Other than the fact that they don't feel like they have a lick of support, these are by far one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn right out of the box. They are stylish and go with a number of different looks if you have even half a clue about how to coordinate an outfit. I will definitely be buying more of these!!!!

Look out for tops of heels! Great looking shoe, overall good comfort with the exception that my son got blisters on the top of his heels while breaking the shoes in. He wouldn't give them up and now the shoes are broken in.

Give it time - These shoes definitely need time to be broken in, but it's worth it. For the first week or so my big toe was screaming. After that I was rewarded with a sweet pair of kicks I can slide on in an instant. These are a classic for a reason!
