These shoes are great. I needed an easy to wear, semi-stylish pair of slip-ons and these are perfect. I wear them with khakis, jeans, and shorts. Very comfortable and they break in quickly.

I love these. They're simple, cute, and decently comfortable. I have long, narrow feet but they fit just fine.

Alright shoe, insole tore quick though and you really gotta take care of 'em or they will fade and stains are hard to take off.

This is the 2nd time I purchased these Vans for my daughter who "loves" them. I'd say they are worth what you pay and look great.

Well constructed, simple canvas shoe. Fits true to size. Nice cushion around the ankle. Moderate arch support. Heavy solid sole. Super fast Zappos service!

It's still a great, simple shoe! Nothing fancy, fits perfect. Doesn't hold up beyond 10-12 months though, budget an annual replacement.

Love the style, but feel the shoe runs a bit on the small size. I wear around a size 11, which is the size I bought, and it's somewhat tight in the toe box. At first it isn't noticeable, but after a few hours of wear my toes get kind of sore. Wish I had gone a half size larger.

Classic shoes - great for everything. Always comfortable, always easy to clean and keep looking nice. Only downside is I've noticed sometimes the elastic on the top is less giving than some pairs...a little bit of inconsistency to the fit, but overall you can't go wrong.

Nice quality shoes. However might not be for me personally as they do not provide much arch support. Very flat. But still they look good!

I have loved Vans since I was a skate punk kid in the '80s. I also like to buy myself a new pair of canvas sneakers every spring. This year I will replace the grey pair I got and loved last year not because they have worn out, but I got them dirty and they are too small. I ordered my usual size, 8, and the shoes are way too tight even when I wear no socks (which I rarely wear with Vans). This year I am going to get a more fun color and hope an 8.5 fits me well.

Tired of tying your shoes? I know I am. I'm also tired of the heavy, inflexible support of running shoes like Doc Martins, that has actually contributed to my flat feet. As a reaction against products that make my feet worse, and my nostalgia for 1982, I sought to satisfy my memories with Vans. Note that I am not a skater, but just wanted a slip-on that was comfy and did not look like a dress shoe. Well, they are not magical, but they fit the bill. I wear them whenever I am outside of work and not wearing slippers or Vibram 5-Fingers (for running). So far, no slipping, climbing or descending San Francisco's rain soaked sidewalks (there is no flat ground in this town.) The only problem is the styling, which looks like the shoes women wear in prison (although those are probably Keds). So, just don't wear these with orange. I will be purchasing other pairs, perhaps in blue or something retro, like checkerboard. 1982 is back, baby!

My son has a large foot (size 14) and he loves these shoes. They are comfortable, in style, and they fit well.

The color is NOT 'Navy'--the lighter-than-Navy, almost 'sky-blue' picture is far more accurate than the description.
Other than that, they're the sneakers I expected and have worn happily for years.

I have a narrow foot and size 10 in this shoe works best for me. I'm a C width in dress shoe. In vans slip-on I can wear a 10.5 in length. When new they feel true to size in length and width. But, these shoes loosen up after several wearings. They eventually become too roomy for my foot, thus difficult to keep on. I don't care for the flip flop effect. The 10 fits my width better, toe is near end, but not uncomfortable. 10 feels too small for me when new, but eventually loosens and conforms to my foot.

The man's 6.5 size fit me perfectly. I'm a woman's 7.5 / 8.0 with a D width. after the first 8 hours of wearing them I started to get a sore spot, the beginning of a blister. but I simply took them off and then wore them every other day for a week and they were broken in, no blisters at all. For comfort I gave only 3 stars because while they are comfortable, they have minimal arch support and are not as comfortable as a sneaker with a lot of arch support and a lot of cushion.

These are great shoes. No thrills, crazy designs, or bells and whistles. They are very light and comfortable. usually I wear either a 6 or a 6-1/2 and I ended up getting the larger. Not a lot of padding inside but still feel good on the feet.

I don't mind my shoes looking a little worn, but these were instantly covered in scuff marks and dust. So if keeping your shoes clean is a must, stick with a different color. Also, I've owned several pairs of Vans slip-on shoes, and I have never experienced such awkward sizing. I'm almost always a nine, but the nines were so goofy-looking and huge that I had to go down half a size. Like all Vans slip-ons, though, these become very comfortable after a little bit of wear. Highly recommended.And thanks as always to Zappos for the best customer service ever!

These Vans look awesome! They are totally rad and I couldn't find then anywhere at these prices! Just what I needed to complete my look. Didn't like that it felt narrow at the beginning though.

I originally was looking for a sporty slip on tennis shoe for my next door neighbor. I liked the looks of this shoe, so I bought a pair for myself. They are great looking, and have a good fit. The only negative is that the shoe could stand more cushion on the inner sole. A cushion insert will take care of that. I'll give it a strong 8 out of 10.

Classic Vans slip ons. Its hard to elaborate on a style that hasn't changed much in decades, so instead we can talk about fit. This shoe ran narrow for me, bought a full size up to give me enough width to be comfortable in them. This is a shoe designed with a purpose, so don't expect much in the way of support, these are fairly basic sneakers with absolutely flat soles, designed with skateboarding in mind back in the day, but that also means not a lot of arch support if you're wearing them day in and day out. The rubber around the bottom sole holds up reasonably well as these shoes age, its the small red logo attached to the back heel that usually gives up the ghost first.

I bought these shoes to use as everyday casual walking shoes. I got painful blisters on my pinky toes and on the back of my foot during the first week of wear. After that though, they felt exactly like how I'd expect a slip-on to feel. I like the lack of support of these shoes because it feels natural, but I would not recommend them if you have to stand on your feet all day. The quality of these shoes is okay but not very consistent. The first pair that I ordered had a perfectly fitting left shoe but the right one was about half a size too small, so I had to exchange them for another pair. I don't expect these to last very long before the elastics start tearing; they'd still be wearable though as long as the rest of the shoe stays intact. These are so expensive for what they are, I feel like I am paying mostly for the brand name; if you're not a vegan, you need to get these in smooth-leather or suede to get your money's worth.
