Customer Reviews Vans Classic Slip-On

This shoes look awesome but are horribly uncomfortable. Insufficient insole padding, and absolutely no padding at the heel aside from a little ridge right along the lip of the heel (which digs into my heel, causing more pain than comfort). I've had to add aftermarket Dr. Scholl's insoles and moleskin padding at the heel to make these even halfway tolerable, and they still hurt the bottoms and backs of my heels after a couple hours of wear. This is a huge disappointment as I have a different pair of lace-up vans that has none of these issues and is super-comfortable. Also, I've noticed that Vans all tend to run a size smaller than labeled (e.g. their 12 is actually an 11, their 13 is actually a 12, etc).

These are comfortable and stylish shoes, but they don't hold up very well. I wore a pair regularly for about 4 months, just on casual Fridays at work and on the weekends, and they now look extremely beat up. The sole has worn away in the heal area from driving, the sidewalls of the sole are cracked in numerous places and the fabric on top is wearing through near the pinkie toe. I feel that a shoe (even a cheap one) should last at least a year. It's not like I was skateboarding or anything... just casual wear. I won't be purchasing again.

Not good without socks. In terms of style and utility, these are exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately I'm returning them because the padded white part that wraps around the back and sides of your ankle is vinyl. The plan was to have a shoe to frequently wear without socks, for biking around the neighborhood, walking, etc. That white part needs to be fabric or leather in order to feel OK against your skin.

Great fitting shoe, but with one notable drawback - the rubber that runs around the sole separates from the shoe quickly. I've worn Vans for a few years now, and have never had this problem with any other shoes of theirs, except for the black on black slip ons. I've had two pair within the past month and a half and I'm very disappointed that they're coming apart so easily.

Problem with sizing - Bought normal size and seemed a full size too big, so bought a size smaller and that felt very much too small. Love the look but had to return both pairs.

Wear & Tear - Shoes are comfortable but with normal wear, the color fades fast.

Ron's Review - Shoes were too small I've always bought 9 1/2 from you & they've been fine. Don't know what happened this time. Also, would sure like to see the classic slip-on brought back in hemp.

rippin out - I have worn Vans prettty much my entire life. Though I'd give slip on's a try again. Never skated in these. Had them for about 2 months and they started ripping on the tops, on both shoes...

The Vans style and fit are cool but I received used shoes. They had clearly been worn. The top of both shoes were creased from walking and the inside was dirty. You could tell they had been cleaned up on the soles to try to appear new but they definitely had been worn many times. Returned immediately. Big bummer.

Really wanted to like the shoe but they a way too narrow. I do not have a wide foot.

These shoes may look cool but they will hurt your feet and dig into you back heels. There is a point at the back of the vans. It’s truly the worst pair of black slip on I’ve ever owned.

So disappointed. I usually don't write negative reviews but these shoes were not at all what I expected. They were far more uncomfortable than I had heard, and caused me to have blisters. I had to go a week without wearing them just because of this. They also go filthy very quickly because they are cloth, and after putting them in the washing machine on a gentle cycle as directed by the lady at the store, they turned brown!!! Now I can't wear them again and it was a complete waste of money. I would not recommend this product to anyone unless you never plan on leaving your house.

To small

The shoes were marked men's 9.5 which is my shoe size, but it was obvious that the shoes were way too small. I could not even begin to get them on. They also appeared to be very narrow. I am re-ordering a size men's10.5. If that is too small, I will give up.

Worst shoe I ever purchased! Sides of shoe came apart from sole after one week of indoor wearing...on both shoes! Poor construction, definitely expected more for the price of the shoe!

Shoe was exactly what we were looking for but runs extremely small. Service was great so I'll come back.

I've had these shoes for a year, now, and keep hoping they'll get better, but they don't! They're uncomfortable, very tight on the top of my foot (although this has gotten better), the heel has fallen apart with minimal wear (and I never wear them with the heels folded down or anything like that). I'm a size 13-13.5, I ordered a 14. My feet always feel sore after wearing these, and if I wear them for a full day, I'll regret it for the next two.

These are probably the worst shoes I've ever seen. They hurt your feet too. The description is totally wrong. The only reason I got them is because they were slip-ons. I just wanted them so they could save me so much time. For all of you people who think this is your shoe, think again.

Nice to know that some things never change. These old reliables are still comfy and well made.

Classic style, comfortable padded heel. My college age so lives in these.

Really love VANS slip ons but I definitely recommend switching out the insoles. Love the checkered print and contrast with the white sole.

These are a staple and go with any outfit! They are easy to break in and comfortable. Perfect shoes to throw on.

Van's black and white classic slip on shoes. Have been wearing them since I was a teenager. I'm 65 now. It's the only shoes my feet knows.
