Customer Reviews Vans Classic Slip-On

I've bought these for my ten year old son for three years now. He loves how comfortable they are over the top of his foot because there are no laces to press down on it. What I have noticed that is not good about them is they tend to separate from the sides of the sole where the foot bends. Maybe this is because my son wears them a lot and is hard on shoes. The style we chose was the black checkerboard and it always looks good with shorts or jeans. Son says he likes the arch support, but honestly, there's not much there.

Not a cushy shock absorbing running shoe but a basic canvas and rubber sneaker. I got these to keep me from bare footing around the house and yard. They're great for that. Quick to step into and kick off. When I get 'em scummy from yard work and car washing I toss 'em in the washer and sit 'em out to dry. I wore them out to dinner when I first got 'em but then put 'em to work. I'm gonna get another pair so I've always got a dry pair on hand. And of course Zappos is great to deal with.

Vans are my favorite everyday shoe, I painted mine, and I loooove them.

First of all, I got the black ones, but they look lighter than they actually are in real life due to the picture’s lighting. Other than that, they’re really black and look exactly like the pictures provided on here. I wore these shoes for the first time today since I bought them and they’re extremely cute! However, just a little heads up for first time buyers, these shoes do run pretty narrow; so if you have wide feet (like me), it’ll be a little bit difficult to put them on at first, but you should be fine once you break them in! That seems to be the case for me most of the time. Size-wise, I had no issues because these do run true to size. Other than that, I love these classic slip-ons and they’re my go-to shoes. Also, really great quality and super fast shipping and delivery since I purchased them using the app! They were shipped the same day I purchased them (I purchased them around 6am) and they were delivered the next day! Overall, I had a great experience with Zappos and I’m very happy with my purchase.

I love these so much. They are true to size. The grey and black rock! These are my new favorite go to shoe. I am mad I waited so long to get them.

Love these! Just bought my second pair! Super comfortable and stylish. I now use my 3 yr old pair for yard work. Size is fine. They may feel a little snug for first week or so but they break into your feet very nicely. Remember they are slip-ons so you don’t want them too loose. My old pair are faded from washing so washing is not recommended.

I bought these mostly for nostalgic reasons. I had a pair of the black and white checker/white when I was in eight grade and I loved them! Fast-forward many years (decades) later and I'm a college professor who sees many of his students wearing these now that they are back in style. So, I will say that I absolutely love the style and they make me happy when I wear them while I'm out and about with my daughter. So, how do they fit? Let me go into some detail here. First, these are narrow sneakers and I have a wide foot. Since they do not have laces, the worry that anyone with a wider foot should first have is, will my foot fit through the opening. After all, the opening is narrower than the place where the widest part of your foot will eventually reside. I have been wearing a size 13 for most of my adult life. Earlier this year I began to try a size 14 in certain shoes, and this has been very good. I had this misconception that size 14 would be much longer than size 13 (thinking it would be an inch longer since my feet are about 12 inches long and I wore a 13). It turns out I was wrong. If you look at the size chart that Zappos provides, you will not that the difference in length between a 13 and 14 is actually only 5/16 of an inch. Yes, just barely more than a quarter of an inch. What you will typically find though, is that the next size up in a pair of shoes is not only a little bit longer, but also a little bit larger in the other dimensions as well. So, when I was buying size 13 shoes, I always had to look for the wide or extra wide width in order for them to fit me, and even then they never were the best. My feet always seemed to end up wishing they had a wider platform, except in the widest of shoes. Now that I have tried size 14, the length feels fine, and the rest of the shoes have been so much better! So, I figured I would give these Vans a try. I had previously held off because they only come in medium width. They fit and they are comfy. The only bad thing, and I think this may have only been when they were brand new and they needed to be worn a bit and I had to get used to how my foot sat in them is that on the first day they rubbed the back of my heel until it hurt. I let that heal up (no pun intended) and now they feel fine when I wear them. The only thing I wish now is that Vans would make some of their more interesting colors available in a size 14 :-)

It’s my favorite shoe like I loveeeeee them soooo much.

Excellent and very comfortable all around casual shoe that feels great and doesn't need to be broken in.

Wear these if you're pregnant! My mother-in-law took me shopping for new shoes that I wouldn't have to tie, being eight months pregnant. I immediately dragged her to the nearest Vans store and bought some new slip-on's to replace my shot-out Spicoli's. I wear nothing else. If you get pregnant, stock up on all colors of this classic. When your feet swell, you'll be glad you did!

I'm 60 yrs young and get a bit younger every time I slip into my vans. They were great decades ago and continue to be. When the purchase is coupled with Zappos great service... oh my! It's definitely "OFF THE WALL".

I got the same size that i usually bought from the store and this one seems bigger which is pretty disappointing.

I’m a size 7.5 /8 and i was confused on which size to go for but I’m happy!!! I chose 7.5 because it fits just so perfect. I love it and it arrived fast didn’t take up to a week. Go for it it’s worth it.

I love these! They’re so comfy, I tested them out when I went to Presque Isle last weekend with my boyfriend, and they did really well! I’ve been a Vans lover since high school, and they go with almost anything ?

I’ve always wanted a pair and I finally got them. Love how they fit and look good on the go

After a hard day at work, I want to stay at home. But, turns out, I have to leave. This slip on shoe is awesome. It lets me ollie the kids.

Great shoes to keep my feet cool. I can wear these in Spring, Summer and Fall just by changing from thin socks to thick socks. The grey color goes with almost any pants.

Great, comfortable shoe. Seems sturdy enough though I've not had them long. Would recommend breaking them in before wearing for extended periods/long walks (but that's typical of any new shoe). I'm surprised so many people marked this as true to size--I had to return my normal size (10) for a 9.5.

Worn it 4 times and it has already broken open on the side. Never had problems with Vans before so I am a little disappointed in these.

Shoes are a great fit, however left and right shoes noticeably vary in color which was very disappointing since it was dark when I first wore them and now they have been worn so cant return them :-(

Very surprised how good the service was shoes fit perfectly would definitely buy again !!!

If you have very wide feet and find most other vans to be too narrow. (I'm EEE width) then these are the ticket. Other wide vans are the old skool pro (regular series is super narrow now.) And try the half cab. This is a good shoe. Wish all vans were this wide

I've bought Vans for decades for my sons and now my grand kids. They are good for skaters, or for normal use; however, my grandson is special needs and has repetitive toe movement issues. The uppers were quickly separated from the sole, and the canvas became hole ridden within a matter of a month. These don't work for my grandson, but I would purchase Vans again for normal use.
