Customer Reviews Vans Classic Slip-On

I will start by saying, I'm 42, and a life-long Vans customer. Unfortunately, Vans just aren't what they used to be. They fall apart very quickly. It has been my experience with the last 4 pair of vans I have ordered, that the side strapping that holds the rubber sole on, delaminates within 3 months. These slip-ins haven't done that yet, as they are more narrowvrhannother vans and run a blister on my heel, so I don't wear them. Vans used to mean quality. I have had good luck with the pro series Sk8-hi. I guess if you don't want them to fall off of your feet you have to spend the $90 for the "pro-series". Pft. Looks like it may be time after all these years to try another brand of shoe for daily wear. :-(

I've been wearing size 10 Vans slip-ons almost exclusively for about 15 years now and I gotta say that they just don't make 'em like they used to. They don't seem to fit as well anymore and they fall apart a lot quicker. A pair used to last me about 6-8 months and now it's about half that. The way they fit is inconsistent as well, they are either a little too loose, or a little too tight.

Quality of these shoes has really deteriorated. After only a couple hours of wear, the fabric liner started coming loose inside one shoe. It was loose and crumpling up under my toes and heels as if it was poorly glued to the sole. I contacted Zappos and they immediately sent a replacement pair. Not a moment longer than the first pair lasted, the same issue appeared on the replacements! I guess Vans quality isn't what it was a few years ago. Praise Zappos for taking care of me though.

My son was so excited to get these cool skate shoes. But even though they are plenty big enough, after wearing briefly one time, he developed a painful blister on the back of his heel/ankle. Along the opening/top of the shoes there is a thick, stiff lining that is really uncomfortable and rubs in the back. He refuses to wear them now, such a shame because the style is really great.

They look nice, but the shoes have major comfort issues. First, they run a full size too small. I'm normally a 13, but needed to exchange these for a 14. There's no real padding to speak of on the shoes, so when you're walking, your heel hits the ground hard - for me, this very quickly starts to hurt every time I take a step. Insoles will probably correct this, but I'm pretty disappointed with the comfort level of these shoes.

I used to have multiple colors of these and I like the look. But my feet used to hurt a lot and usually I will have an ache or pain, so I suspected it was just normal, until I bought other shoes, and realized these have no arch support at all. I guess that is what you can expect from cheap shoes though. I do not have flat feet or high arches, so something must be wrong I got bored of them because everyone has them now, and they are kind of plain looking now that I think about it. Not to mention the fact that they fall apart in a season of regular wearing, they get ugly and faded by the tiniest bit of use, I think that I am done with these shoes.

Ya these pretty much suck. I bought them because I wanted a shoe that looked good but didn't require socks, however its been well over a month now and my heels are still getting tore up every time. The rubber is already falling off where the shoe bends during step, but they are made in China, so go figure. I was also disappointed that these didn't have the black waffle soles, but that's my bad, I should have researched. Overall Vans is straight up ripping us off, and I wouldn't ever pay this price for these shoes ever again, not even for a less amount considering how badly they tear up my heels. It is caused by the canvas seams directly below the pleather lining, and it is just a flat out bad design. These shoes are straight up deceiving and I believe that is the overall impression I have of the Vans corp. riding the wave of the skateboard industry blow up, though their products are the worst thing you could ever skate in.

So poorly made, but pretty. Within a week these shoes will begin to peel apart as the canvas comes unglued from the sole and the rubber strip around the sole begins to separate. But this is my fourth pair and I keep buying them because they're so gosh-darn simple and cute.

Narrowed Sole - I have owned many pair of these Vans Classic Slip-Ons. For some reason this pair is much more narrow than the ones in the past. Not good.

Did not fit over my foot and I could not get the shoe on, even though I order a half size up from my normal size.

I ordered a mens 10 1/2 and got a womens 10 1/2.

These Vans were too tight! Normally I never have issues with the slip ons being true to size, maybe that’s why they were discounted lol. If you order these, size up. I returned them.

Will be returning now. It wasn't my imagination. Vans all of the sudden made their slip ons way too tight. It's all over the net

Itchy on the top of the left shoe

Perfect Van shoes, just not the color as stated. If you're buying with the expectation of true Khaki, take a hard pass. These are green. No other way to say it. A light green, but green. I held them up to pants that were green and Khaki just to make sure.

I bought this same show months before and love them but this second pair is super heavy and not comfortable. I tried to return them but I waited past the deadline to return..

Did not wear. Wrong size was sent and still waiting for refund. Service is terrible.

These are not black and white they are black and cream. Did not care for the cream color. Returned.

These are the most uncomfortable shoes. So disappointed. I have to return them. I had high hopes for them working
