The shoe is heavier than expected. I prefer a more flexible material. My big toe on the left foot was pushing up against the leather.

Felt stiff and sqeaky when walking. A little wide for my narrow feet.

I bought these simply for the color! They're absolutely amazing! I get compliments on them when I do wear them
One thing I didn't realize when I purchased them was that the heel part of it was not cushioned like my other Van's.
I was and still am super disappointed that they rub my heels raw.
If you're looking for comfort, I'd say look elsewhere.
Yes you can buy heel inserts and it does help but I am still sad that they didn't just come with it.
Otherwise, great shoe!

These shoes have a great look to them but are really uncomfortable. Been trying to break them in but my ankles are killing me. Not sure if they are gonna work they hurt so bad.

The shoes were cute, but unfortunately, too tight, so returned them. If you are on the border on shoe size, I would recommend ordering the next size larger. The arch support was not exactly what works for my feet; another reason for the return.

I ordered a womens size 7.5 (my street shoe has always been an 8 but for Vans I've only ever fit into womens 7.5), and the shoes showed up labeled as a Toddler size 6 in the tongue. Obviously this is a pretty cool misprint but the shoes were huge. They were more than 1 size too big on my feet. Comfortable and stylish but big big so sadly they are being returned.

I've had other Vans in the same size. Thought this would be more cushy as it states but I really couldn't feel that much difference. Unfortunately I was so excited and put them on I wore them outside for 20 minutes and I have blisters on the back of my ankles. The back heel is so stiff there was no give.. totally made it raw and I was in pain. Should have tried them in inside the house so I could return them but it's too late for that now. Maybe I needed a different size but it was the same size I've been wearing in Vans. First time ever buying them online without trying them on first.

I so wanted these to work, but the right shoe rubbed my heal and was uncomfortable as soon as I put them on. Too bad, because they are super cute and a great price.

The material was good, but I wear a size 10 shoe, so I ordered a size 10. I received shoes marked 10, but they were so small I couldn't get them on.

The shoe fit good but they weren't as comfortable as the pair before. I am guessing they must be a different cut.

I so wanted to like the Vans. I liked the pattern very much, but they are not perfect. The tongue in the left shoe was not centered properly. I found them to be too wide, and heavy. In my opinion, they haven't been adapted for a women's foot.
I'd also recommend:

When we finally rec'd the sneakers it was good. But we went through returning two pair to them saying it was shipped to not receiving anything. I can't say whether they were stolen from our porch or they just never showed up but now after a few returns we rec'd the sneakers and all is good.

I hate to say this, but when I purchased my first pair of Van's, I absolutely loved them. I'm a little disappointed in this pair, not as well made as they used to be. Probably won't be buying Van's again.

I love the look and the fit of the shoe, but the material was stiff and rigid. It was very uncomfortable, especially against the heel. I was disappointed because it’s just what I’ve been looking for.

Love this shoe but, there's something in the back 'rim' that feels so sharp (on both shoes), that I can hardly stand to put them on, wearing them is out of the question.

The front of the "padded collar" pressed painfully into my feet when laced. I tried lacing loosely, but it really didn't make a difference. Otherwise they looked really nice; I really liked the textile used in the upper (black/true white).

the band across the top of the shoe below the lases cuts into the top of my foot so badly I could not walk across the room and back without felling a blister start. Badly designed. good looking but painful.

I broke these shoes in and gave it a month, and my conclusion is that these shoes really hurt my feet. These are my first (and maybe only) pair of Vans. I know some people swear by Vans, but man - ouch! I have really high arches, so maybe that has something - or a lot - to do with it. I've tried a variety of different insoles and none of them made the shoe more comfortable. I found the sole of the shoe to be too thick for walking in for too long. I can wear these casually for a little while, and that's completely fine. But I walk a lot, so it was a bummer that my feet just didn't work well with these shoes because they look amazing.
