Fun, stylish and comfy! Overall, this is a comfortable shoe that boasts a lot of style! What other company offers a shoe with pink skulls?

Vans Classic for slippers - I bought these shoes to use as slippers and I am glad I did. I wanted slippers that did not have that "old person" look and something I could wear outside to get the newspaper or out to the garage. They seemed to have stretched a bit so I would buy them a half size smaller. I may buy another pair to wear as shoes. I love the choices of colors.

Nice look, kinda tight but alright - I love the look of these shoes, they might run a little small, therefore I cannot stress enough how important it is to buy about a size bigger than usual... I did that and I am very comfortable with my sneakers. Of course, there is no arch support but that’s okay, it’s still a great shoe.

The design is great. Great job there! But whoever vans has used for manufacturing these shoes has done a subpar job. Taking them out of the box I was hit with a gross chemical smoke smell. I waited 3 weeks to see if the smell disappeared (never wore) but it hadn't improved much. I returned for another pair (again great Design) and those stink too (but not quite as bad). I also don't think the elastic is sewn quite right but I'm Not going to return again. I have never bought a pair of vans that stunk new and I own several pairs. Vans I don't know if you changed manufacturer to save money but do your quality control no new shoes should smell like a dumpster fire.

I love them! The colors are beautiful and for great! They lost two stars because they weren't wrapped in paper and didn't have the tag which is a little sticker. The rubber was dirty from what I'm guessing is dust. I would have exchanged them for another pair, but I live 3.5 hours from a Vans which is why I shop online. A Mr. Clean sponge cleaned them up though. They're pretty and fit great like my other Vans. But I didn't love cleaning the rubber on brand new shoes.

Thought they were sherpa lined throughout the entire shoe. Was looking forward to warm feet and no socks. However, only sherpa lined at the very top. Total bummer.

Love the color, meh on the fit. Seemed great at first, but as I wore them I realized how short the space was for the big toe. The top of the shoe puts pressure on the nail of my big toe. And on the right shoe my pinkie toe is squished by the way the seams join together. I wore them so no returning at this point. They’ll be my new slip-ons to get the mail.

Much too tight. I had to cut the elastic parts out and even then they were too tight. Eventually cut a slit in the actual shoe to relieve pressure. And no, my feet aren’t even fat...

These sneakers are super cute but I was not happy with the quality for the price. The canvas right away separated from the rubber sole (just from wearing around the house) and I felt like they ran slightly bigger then other vans.

These are leather!!! I thought they were the regular ones. Other than that looked to be good quality. Returned them and have not received my money back or heard anything.

I wanted a slip-on with moderate arch support to substitute for slippers while quarantined. I got that. Quality and look are great. But they are not easy to slip on and the fit in the toe box is a little loose. And they are not the most comfortable sneakers. They rubbed my bare toes raw so I am wearing them with socks until they are well broken in.

As much as I wanted to like these, they come up too high in front to make it easy to "slip on." I don't know how they actually fit because I stopped working so hard to get them on.

This show has a great look, but it is definitely not for those of us with wide feet. It was narrow enough that I could not get my foot into it. After some research on the shoe, I learned that they are made this way purposely and it just isn't a shoe for me. No worries.

They’re really cute shoes, but VERY uncomfortable. A pro about them is that they’re easy to break into. I would recommend not wearing them to places that involve lots of walking.

I have a pair of lace-up vans size 10.5, so I ordered these 10.5. Definitely should have ordered 11. My big toe is poking through.

Undecided on this shoe as of now. The elastic is bothering me on the top of the shoe. I keep looking for a piece of tag or something but there is nothing there. The shoe itself is incredibly cute. Sole is stiff and no arch support, but not uncomfortable. I want to love these because they are cute. I am hoping the elastic will loosen up. I'm going to have to go with 3 stars because of the comfort factor.

I LOVED these shoes, but the toe box was too low for me and rubbed on my big toenail. It broke my little heart, but I had to return them.

I love the way these look, they're my first Vans and probably my last. I ordered a women's 6/men's 4.5 based on the reviews that they ran big. They don't, had to return them for a women's 7/men's 6.5 which was too big, and finally got the women's 6.5/mens 5 and my normal size - with fit fine, felt good just walking around the room in. But alas, they ripped a hug hole in my skin on the back of my left ankle the first time I walked more than 1/2 a block in them - wore with socks, and I don't want to wear them again. BOO. Sneakers shouldn't give you blisters like that.

I've been rediscovering Vans more recently after wearing many older styles back in the day. I've had pair of classic slip-ons in gray in 9.5 and they've been great. I just received these Chambray Black slip-ons in 9.5 and they felt noticeable larger where I was stepping out of the shoe. Small sample size, but definitely a discrepancy in 9.5's. Not sure if it's the Chambray Blacks I just received or my old gray ones.

Umm...first, this shoe is stylish. Very cool look & color (I got the black & Pewter, but the shoe was more of a midnight blue). However, I would rate this as a quite uncomfortable shoe! I read the reviews of this shoe & how comfortable it is but I didn't feel it. If this is a super comfy shoe, I cringe to think of the types of shoes other reviewers are used to! Admittedly it's an inexpensive shoe, but still! Also there is not much arch support to speak of & the soles are hard rubber and I could totally feel them when walking around. Finally I couldn't get the size right for my feet. I order the 12s and they were too small, then I sent those back & got the 13s, but they were slightly too big. I assume if these were lace shoes I wouldn't have that problem (just tighten the laces up a bit), but as they were I didn't keep them. Too bad, because I am looking for a semi casual shoe to wear to work when I don't have to see clients. Maybe I'll try another Van - laces this time. As always, Zappos was top notch & took care of shipping, returns without a hitch.
