Fit is perfect and comfortable. They look great with rolled up jeans. I am a 65 year young woman and thought VANS were for the much younger, but I wanted some slip on sneakers with some style. So happy with my purchase!

I love Vans! I’ve been an avid Vans wearer since 2009 when I got my first pair and have gone through a few pairs since then. They last a few years as long as you take good care of them and don’t wear them every single day. I’ve had a perforated leather pair for 2 years now and had another pair for 4 years before then. They’re great quality!

After breaking these shoes in they feel like slippers! One of the most comfortable pairs of shoes I’ve ever owned and I love that they are slip ons. I am writing this review a year after I’ve bought the shoes.

Love the yellow gingham Vans! My first pair so I followed the reviews and got 9 Women’s even though I’m typically a 9.5. I have Dr Scholl’s inserts inside them and they really comfortable. I got zero blisters so no break-in period at all. Just need to be careful with rain or dirt as they’re light colored.

Fit flawlessly. Super comfortable right out of the box, but did get a couple blisters still when I wore them out all day on vacation. Love the style and gray color.

I purchased these shoes for my grandson. Both my grandchildren like Vans, especially the slip on shoes. I have to assume the are comfortable and they hold up pretty well.

Let's keep it simple with a review Haiku: fit runs true to size tight at first but do loosen up timeless, classic and casual

These sneakers were too flat on top. They squished my big toe down. No arch support. Overall, very uncomfortable, they are going back.

Bought these for my 13 year old son. Great fit and color. His arm is in a cast right now so these were perfect since he can't really tie his shoes right now.

These Vans checker board black slip ons are truly classics. There is absolutely nothing wrong with them. I do notice that I have to go half a size down for slip ons.

Well, me being the finicky shoe shopper that I am, I found myself in a conundrum. I have worn slip-on checkered Vans almost exclusively since college. The only problem is they're running out of new colors for me to wear. Unable to find a color I liked on the actual Vans site, I found the unique purple/black combination on Zappos after searching everywhere. Thanks for keeping my wardrobe all my own!

Perfect fit, styling, quality, etc. It's what you would expect from Van's. The color is as vibrant as shown too!

These are awesome shoes. I used to wear them in High School and decided it was time to get a new pair of shoes to replace my converse because they die kinda fast in the city. I bought these in a half size up since they're kinda skinny shoes naturally. They fit perfect now!

With these fly duffs, I am able to both "big ball" and "shot call." Not a lot of shoes out there enable this kind of duality. Over my lifetime, I have gone through about 20 pairs of Vans slip-ons - from dressy leather ones to Ozzfesty Slayer ones. They are the bomb.com, with or without socks. Nuff said.

Rainbow, Clarks, Converse

Important Note for those moving from Kids' sizing to Adult sizing. Where Kids' Vans seem to run about 1/2 to 1 size too large, adult sizes seem to run about 1/2 size too small. We had to order 3 pair of shoes to get it right, but no problem with Zappos' free returns.

I love Vans, not just because they come in a bunch of different colors and styles and not just because I'm a California girl but because they're a great shoe to slip on that you can wear with almost any casual outfit. I probably own about 15 pairs of Vans...and I will probably own a ton more. The stitching/color on these ones are way cooler than the picture shows. It's a bit of texture that really makes the shoe look even better.

Most comfortable shoes. Period. The Italian leather is gorgeous and fits very nicely. Love the black bottoms and smooth leather upper. Just got them out of the box, and they are already on my feet. I would give 10 stars if that were an option!
