Customer Reviews Vans Iron Maiden Classic Slip-On™

Vans Classic for slippers - I bought these shoes to use as slippers and I am glad I did. I wanted slippers that did not have that "old person" look and something I could wear outside to get the newspaper or out to the garage. They seemed to have stretched a bit so I would buy them a half size smaller. I may buy another pair to wear as shoes. I love the choices of colors.

Nice look, kinda tight but alright - I love the look of these shoes, they might run a little small, therefore I cannot stress enough how important it is to buy about a size bigger than usual... I did that and I am very comfortable with my sneakers. Of course, there is no arch support but that’s okay, it’s still a great shoe.

So, yeah, I have a pair of Vans already...just your normal, average, skateboarding sneakers, and they're great: they're durable, extremely comfy and just kind of boring. Anyway, I bought a pair of these slip ons, expecting for them, like my other pair, to be a little oversized, if anything, and extremely comfortable, and was incredibly disappointed. First off, I have a wide foot, and so I bought a pair a full size larger than I typically buy (I'm usually an 8.5 and I bought a 9.5 (women's) and straight out of the box I couldn't even get my foot in them all the way. My sister, who has a narrow foot and is an 8, tried them on, and even she complained that they were a little tight. I honestly thought I had bought the wrong size, and it wasn't until I looked at the sticker attached to the inside of the shoe that I realized it was indeed a 9.5 women’s. Well, I got all prepared to send them back (return sticker and all, which Zappos, to their credit, does very well) when a friend of mine who has the same shoes explained that they stretch out a lot, and after three days of squeezing into them, they have begun to stretch. They are in no way comfortable, but they're getting there. I bought the pink penguins, and honestly they are the cutest looking pair of shoes I own. It's just unfortunate that they are also the most uncomfortable (not to mention the fact that because they are so much larger than my foot, there's about an inch and a half of room between my toe and the end of the shoe).

Buy Larger - These shoes seem to run very small. My daughter who usually wears a 7 ended up getting a size 8 when neither the 7 nor 7.5 would fit. I even worried that the size 8 won't last long as her toes are close to the end.

These shoes are very very comfortable. They are a bit tight when you get them but once you wear them for a week or so, they wear in a bit and feel so perfect on your foot that you dont want to take them off. The only thing that I disapprove of about these shoes is that they dont have proper arch support. Otherwise, they are very nice.

Awesome - These shoes are so comfortable right out of the box, no need to wear them in!

Pretty awesome shoe! Well, I love the way the shoe looks... its great for spring, but the arch support isn't great.

Vans Black & White Canvas Checker. Sickest looking shoes! Very comfortable for say a concert or walking or just for looking cool. Terrible sk8 shoes though, they tear after a few kick flips. Not nice on your feet if you jump from somewhere high, virtually no shock absorption.

Great sneaks- They are so cute and as comfortable as you would expect. There is adequate arch support, but not enough heel support. When I walked all day in them, my heels were a bit sore. Overall they're great.

Awesome shoe... narrow fit- These retro Vans are amazingly cool. I get a ton of compliments when I wear them. The only problem is that they are very narrow. I have (I THINK) a normal foot. These shoes cut in on the sides of my feet near the toes. I wear them anyway, of course, because they are so downright rad. They stretch out a bit after wearing them for a while and it's enjoyable to wear them without socks in the summer. COOL COLORS, TOO!!

Vans Classic Slip On - Great shoes, except I had the same problem with this pair as the previous pair. The lining above the toe was not glued properly to the shoe. Once I glued the lining in place I had no problem with the shoes.

Not Quite--But Close - I love the shoe... but... as a big foot guy unfortunately their idea of size 13 is not exactly what my feet agree with.

Instep - These shoes are amazing ... or they would be ... if they fit me. They fit true to size in length and width ... but if you have a high Instep, this shoe is NOT for you. My instep is 9 inches and these were just impossible to slip on. The elastic is not stretchy/long enough. Other than that, these shoes are totally adorable and I wish I could wear them.

Not very satisfied - I have 2 pairs of Vans. One pair just plain hurts my heel so bad I can't wear them. The other pair rubs my toes. So I have not had a very good experience. I bought another pair of cheap slip-ons and they are very comfortable.

Cool, but pinch my ankles... I love classic Vans, but they have the same problem as other "cool" shoes such as Cons and Docs - they take FOREVER to break in. I've had these shoes for a month now and they STILL pinch my ankles - they have created rough, ashy spots there that hurt and will not go away. Every time I step down there's a dull pain. The front and sides of the shoes fit fine, but it's just the back that is uncomfortable. They should really think about widening the back part of the shoe.

Great shoe! I ordered this for my teenage son, who was looking for a camo colored shoe. It fits great, easy to slip on and off, and is sturdier than the other slip-on shoes he's had before. He's a happy camper now!

look great, but too narrow - Maybe I have incredably wide feet, but these shoes at an indicate width of M for men seems generous. But they do in fact look cool and its almost worth the blisters.

Ouch! I knew I had a kind of large foot, but not to this extreme, I had to jam my foot into these shoes, it took forever. I loved the look of these shoes, but my foot is too tall for them, so I have to get the next size, the 11 just doesn’t cut it!

These shoes felt true to size and were as comfortable as I expected. I love the way they look and I think they're great everyday shoes. I wouldn't recommend them for walking because they don't have any arch support and are thinly padded. I'm disappointed because the rubber glued around the shoe is coming undone. I've had these shoes for less than a month and only wear them on weekends.

I love them! I had to get some that no one else had, these are great
