Customer Reviews Vans Classic Slip-On

True size. Regular fit. Good shoe

I got my shoes and one shoe was a size 9 and the other was a 9.5. Sadly this isn’t the first time I’ve received an order that had the wrong shoe sizes in the box.

Size up a half size, I’m usually a 9 but they are very tight.

the shoes look nice but they hurt. I bought the 6 but they were too long so I figured the 5 1/2 would be perfect, nope! They were super tight and hurt to have them on. Returned them

I can't figure out how Van's sizing is done. I wear a 9.5 in women's shoes. I currently own 4 pairs of Vans that all fit differently. I'm returning the classic (men's 8/women's 9.5) that were way too small. I have a pair of women's 10 that are slightly large but okay if I wear with socks. I have two other pairs that fit perfectly. I love the style but it's hit or miss trying to get the size right.

I don't know what Vans has done to their shoes but oh man - I have been wearing the classic checkerboard slip-ons for around 10 years now at the same size, 10 Women. I bought these after my last pair sank in mud and washing them was no help. These new ones are waaaay tight and narrow where after a full day of wearing them, I can feel blisters on my heels and pinky toes. Also, the "hood" of the slip-on seems longer where it is digging in to the top of my foot.

As deck shoes go, these are fun looking but probably more suited to teens than boomers. They were huge (perhaps because they are unisex) and had little arch support. There are better options for mature women with a wide toe box.

Go a full size up if you buy these. They’re cute but I needed to get 1 size bigger to actually get them on my feet (usually 9 women’s and had to get 10 because even 9.5 was far too small). Have quite a break in period so prepare for that before you wear them out for a whole day.

Only for the skinny footed ?

too narrow for my feet

Size runs small

Runs small (1/2 size short & tight)

I'm usually a size 8 (women's) with a narrow foot. I ordered an 8 and exchanged for a 7.5 The 7.5 is a little snug, but hopefully will stretch. I do wish these shoes came a little narrower for women.

I love these shoes, the only problem is that I got a shoe bite when I put them on.

I got these instead of the similar Sperrys that I got last year. They look great, but have no arch. I soon had excruciating pain in my foot and lower leg. I'm trying an orthotic insert, which seems to be helping. The Sperrys are way more comfortable. Also, I had to return the first pair as they were a half size too small.

I ordered two of these shoes for two different members of my household. I even ordered half a size up for one. These were too small (couldn't get foot into the shoe). Order a size or size and a half up.

A bit sharp in the heel (partly because of the hard material, partly lack of padding, partly shape of shoe) and a very thin toe box so that I felt constant pressure on the tops of my toes prevented me from finally going with this shoe. It seems well made and looks great, but buying a shoe for the way it looks is a mistake. Only buy this if you have very flat toes and a tough Achilles tendon.

These shoes are okay. Really easy to slip on and off and they're really comfortable. Unfortunately, the rubber started peeling within a few months and now a year later I'm already looking to replace them, where I was hoping they'd last at least 2-3 years. They're great casual replacements for loafers or formal dress shoes, but don't expect them to last long.

A great style for summer, but very uncomfortable without socks. After walking in the shoes for only 30 minutes, I started developing blisters near my Achilles tendon. Wearing socks would probably solve this problem, but socks, shorts, and these shoes equals fail. Additionally, the white elastic portion inside the shoe is very rough and rubs against the skin, which is very irritating. You'd think Vans would develop a comfier inside to these shoes after years of making them.

Great looking and comfortable, but my pair fell apart within a week of having them. Unfortunately.

Really good slip on shoes, but not for high arches, for the elastic tongue is too tight. Too bad!

I do love these shoes despite some shortcomings. I've had many pairs of Vans and these are about what you expect. What you don't expect is how short and narrow they are. I usually wear a 10.5 or 11 and bought these in and 11. I could barely get them on. But I eventually did and decided to keep them because the canvas will ease out, however, they aren't the most comfortable Vans I've had. Also, the rubber around the sole started to peel away after two wears. You get what you pay for and these aren't the best made shoes in the world. They do look great though, so it's a trade off. When buying, I'd recommend going a half size higher than you think you should to ensure a more comfortable fit.

OK, these shoes look awesome, especially when you rock them at the Indianapolis 500, but don't do what I did and not wear them with out socks when they came straight from the box, unless you love the pains of blisters. I am sure as I break them in and they wear a little bit, they will get more comfortable.

Great shoe for minimal use. I would not recommend this shoe for day to day use due to the lack of foot support.

My son loved the way they looked; unfortunately, after less than 6 months of occasional wear the fabric started pulling away from the rubber rim.
