I just received them and tried. I ordered half size up.
Regular size is 6 but I ordered 6.5. Still tight. I should wear
Without socks. So I recommend 1 full size up if you want to wear with socks.
I also have comfycush slip on. Should have ordered a full size up those too. Too tight. But I will keep it....overall I like them. Classic version is more heavy. I like comfy cush better.

I love authentics normally and they are always the perfect shoe fit, and when Spongebob came out I had to get the comfycush. I wore them most of the summer with either Vans canoodles or thin socks to many compliments. It always felt good at the end of a day. Now I hadn't thought about pairing thicker socks when we got to more winter-like conditions like Vans crews which are thick, then I start to notice the more narrow shape the toe box is on this shoe. I love them though, very comfortable just next time I'd probably go up a half-size for slightly more width

I love the look of the Meadow shoes, so quirky! I would love to see other patterns in a design like this. I own many many Vans, and I find sizing inconsistent. Some shoes take the skin of my heels and toes (like these) and some fit just fine.
I don't think there is any amount of breaking in that will fix this issue, they are just a hair smaller than my others. After walker at the Mall of America, my feet hurt. These are not going to be be my go to for any kind of walking at length. But the pattern, so cute, I just love them, even though they hurt.

...and shopping on Melrose in Los Angeles when wearing the Malcolm McLaren inspired regalia was quite the quest, (before it showed up in every mall across the USA in a chain that shall not be named because it's not topical).

I'm waiting for a cut on my heel to heal. Strange situation, the inside heel rubbed on my heel causing a tear in my sink. Yes I was wearing socks. Strange. I don't want to give up and return them yet. I wanna give them another chance. Great aesthetic design.

Everything about them is pretty great, lots of compliments, but the leather with rub against your ankle so wear ankle high or long socks

They are a little longer than if they were made for women. But they are playful shoes to wear in casual dress that is not as much of an issue. I even had a high school couple ask me if I had them custom made so they must not look too bad. (I have been out of high school for over 50 years!)

Fantastic. Gets beat up easily but that’s part of the look, I feel. Looks great, fits great.

The fit and material are fine. The color is nearly identical to--and goes well with--that of a pair of shorts and a fleece hoody and pants set I own.

I think these VAN sneakers look awesome. I wear a 6.5 shoe and I always buy my sneakers 1/2 a size bigger. My new Van's are a size 7 and they fit perfect. I would buy this sneaker again. Very happy.

I love Vans, especially the clean look of the Era. Most of the Vans I've purchased come with two sets of laces, one contrasting and one matching the color of the uppers. These came with only white laces so I had to order a pair of burgundy color laces elsewhere to suit my taste. It'd be nice if Zappos would include a description of "What's in the box?" like some other online retailers do. Overall great shoe for me!

These are great sneakers. Fit well. There is little foot padding and little arch support.

I usually prefer the authentic’s but gave this a shot because of the colorway. These were too glittery for me. I knew to expect silver but I didn’t expect glitter. They fit true to size but are slightly snug at the back of the shoe because of the extra cushion at the ankle which the authentic’s don’t have. Seems like they would need more breaking in. Wasn’t worth it for me because the color did not meet my expectations. Zappos has a great return policy and returns are seamless.

Size was correct, but the material at the back has worn blisters into my Achilles' tendons.

Usually wear a size 10 in most shoes, but with these I felt they needed to be 1/2 size larger.

Super stylish for a sneaker! My husband loves the two-tone lace up. They add a bit of oomph to a casual outfit. He gets a lot of compliments on his Vans.

Looks great. Well-made for the price. Comfortable with no break-in period, although for me Vans run small and narrow compared to the other brands I buy most often, Doc Martens and Bed Stu. I go a half-size larger with Vans. The Zappo's automatic size recommendation is always wrong for me. Brands tend to vary on fit, and Vans run small, in my experience. A great shoe, but make sure you get the right size!
