i am a size 6.5 normally and these feel are more narrow and stiff so would suggest 7.0 half size up. vs. the EXO ultra range SE these are amazing and true to size. more space in toe area.

These are comfortable shoes but when I walk they make a funny sound from the left foot - like it is hollow and when walking with a friend they notice too. i am glad they are comfortable because otherwise i would want to send back

they're hella big. i bought them before they had reviews and i really wish i had known that they were gonna be bigger than my feet even though they are in my size. like they fit but they're so floppy when i walk. if you're gonna buy these, then size them down

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.

Shoe is cute but if you wear a woman's I would get a half size smaller. I normally wear a 10 and we're too big.

SK8 Mid has comfort issues -
I have owned roughly 30+ pairs of Vans over the years, mainly the SK8 Hi, and have few complaints. (Make a size 12.5 please!) The SK8 Mid has the classic design elements, but comfort is a problem. These shoes turned the back of my left ankle into sausage. Ripped through my skin and made the shoes unusable, not to mention the pain. Oh well. My right shoe fits fine with no issues, so perhaps I received a faulty pair. Not much I can do about it now. They are worn and worthless to me, but look like new.
I'd also recommend:

Love the look of the shoes and they're very comfortable but they don't last. I have had the black leather slides for a little over 6 months. I don't wear them often and they started to crack/separate on the sides. Super bummed out.

Ripped on the sides (inside midfoot during toe off when walking) within the first day of wearing. Really disappointed because I did like this style.

I really wanted to like this shoe. All I wear is Vans, mostly authentics. I was looking forward to wearing a more 'runners' type shoe from my favorite brand. But there's a design flaw in the toe section. Above the toes, the top section folds upon walking. It folds into the toes. With every step, you feel the top section folding into your toes. I can't imagine how bad the "fold line" will appear after wearing the shoe for a while. Hopefully they fix this with the next version. Not sure how more reviews don't mention this.

As much as I love these shoes, the last two pairs I have bought have both tore in the top foot portion. Each pair tore without having them for very long. I have bought these shoes in the past with no problems and wear them until I can't any longer. It saddens me, but I am very hesitant to buy these shoes again.

These shoes are so cute- but they are definitely purple in hue vs a gray color so I sent them back. Super bummed.

I always wear a women's 8.5 in Vans, in any of the styles. I've bought in store and online many times over the years, and I have never had a sizing issue. This Black Perf Leather Slip-On, however, is the exception. Upon delivery of my order, I tried these shoes on with an outfit and discovered that they fit too small (my toes were crammed into the front edge and the sides were tight also). I am disappointed in this and now it makes me question ordering online after hearing others' complaints regarding the same.

I read so many reviews about how comfortable these shoes are. They aren't comfortable at all, maybe if you have a very narrow foot. After two weeks of breaking them in, I mistakenly wore them on a day trip. By the end of the day I was crying. Don't buy these unless you have the toe spread of a 6 year old child. 2 stars for looks only

Comfortable but fall apart quickly. I only wear them at work, inside just walking around (not working out in them). They have holes and are peeling.

I usually wear a size 6 so, I ordered a size 6. Apparently they run big. So, I went to return them and try on different sizes. I went down to a size 5 and they still slid off my feet no matter how tight I tied them. The sides also dug into my ankles, they're very ncomfortable. They're very cute shoes so I'm very disappointed. The style of the shoe just doesn't fit my feet sadly. I know I could wear thicker socks but, I'd want to wear these in the summer and it'll get too got for thick socks.

There's nothing "perf" about them. They're too tight and made for people with narrow feet. I returned them as soon as they arrived.

Shoe looks great. Simply too narrow for my comfort.
Would recommend to someone with narrow feet
