Versatile and comfortable! Got the red/burgundy; the color is a little deeper than in the picture. The leather is heavy and nice. I usually find Vans to be a little narrow, but these are not (possibly because they're unisex?). I am a women's 8, and got the 6.5/8, which fits well. A minor annoyance is that the back has a slight ridge, and it can chafe against your heel. I wore them with socks around the house until that softened up.

Love these. I have really low volume feet with an extra narrow heel and these are cut just right to stay on - they don't even flop around trying to fall off when I cross my leg. Leather is soft, the burgundy is rich. Lots of toe box room and just the right amount of structure under the arch (not much) for me. And they look cool, too.

I ordered my regular size that I always wear in vans but these were way too tight. Possibly order the next size up.

Seeme to be well made, but wouldn’t let my foot all the way in, so left a good inch at the toe. Thin due to too tight at the elastic openings. Sad to return.

I've had numerous pairs of the normal laced Classic SlipOn in 9, but that was way too small in this version. I returned those and got a pair of 9.5s, but those too are on the snug side. (My feet are on the wider side though.)

Even though they are mules open in the heel, the fleece inside is a bit too warm for warmer months. Did not keep. Will try again in the fall!

Love the color and style however run narrow and small. I wear old school style and they fit perfect @ 8 1/2. The mules were too tight and short for my foot. I would only recommend if you have a narrow foot.

I am a true size 8 in every pair of womens vans I own (including other mules that have laces.) These ones were about 1.5-2 inches too large. Still comfortable and love them! Just oddly a bit large!

They definitely need to be warn in. I’d recommend a size or half size up as they tend to slide down off your foot

I love the look of these shoes and the easy slip on. The only down side is they deff run smaller. I am usually a 9 and bought the 9 In these but they are so narrow I really have to squeeze my foot into them. Which has now caused blisters.but they are so cute so I am hoping they just stretch out.

These shoes are incredibly cute and stylish, however run kinda small. I would recommend going up a half size! I've worn vans forever and have always been a 6.5 in any style with enough room; but with these shoes my heel is right at the end of the shoe and it definitely feels small on my foot.

We bought these plaid mule shoes for our daughter for Christmas. The box arrived fine but the contents was a bit of a surprise. Don't get me wrong, the shoes were very comfortable but the material/fabric was little somewhat of a Shocker! Our daughter called us and asked if something was wrong with the fabric. She tried to describe to me over the phone on face-time what she was concerned about! We were not sure what to say as the shoes looked like a chia pet with literally frizzy hair growing all over the shoes. The shoes seemed to come alive. Our suggestion was to shave the frizzy hair from the outer and top parts of the shoes. LOL! She felt taking them into a Vans store would be a better solution as she wanted a salesperson to explain why frizzy hair was growing out of the shoes! Is this normal? None of us are too sure if the shoes are supposed to look this way or if the fabric is reacting like an explosion in a toothpick factory, LOL, from some sort of a shipping problem or sitting near the ocean waters and the material failing its purpose! Either way, the mystery needs to be solved! Again a very comfortable shoe and style, not to mention the photos make the shoes look adorable. However, please explain the Frizzy Fabric! We love Vans and purchase a lot of shoes for our kids, grand kids, and great grand kids so we are hoping for satisfaction with the online purchase. We do love to actually touch, try on and feel our shoes but having children and extended family all over the globe csn make that impossible. Maybe a virtual marketing for online might help to really experience what you are buying would be the answer. Thank you for listening to my story.

These shoes are very cute, but I think if I had known I would have ordered one size larger. The back part of this shoe is very stiff and rubs into your heel, it isnt painful but is highly uncomfortable. As well the upper part is tight, so it feels like you are trying to keep the shoe on your foot a lot of the time. Very cute shoe and I think if I had returned for one size larger it may have been better.

The support and fit of these shoes are exactly what you would expect from Vans. They are not a half size too small, so no need to size up. They fit flat with no arch support, but are not uncomfortable if you are a Van's Fan.

Excellent service and delivery. I am a bit disappointed as the soles of the shoes have little 'give' and aren't flexible enough for walking as much as I had planned. There is a hard ridge at the back at the shoe that often seems to cut into my heel - perhaps they are a wee bit too small for my feet.

I am on the fence about this shoe. Not sure if I'm going to keep or return. It is really wide! Wish they came in narrow. Quality is good and length is good. I wear 9 1/2 - 10 and got a 9 1/2.

Not loving these. Thought they would be great - quick and easy. While they are super convenient to put on they are extremely awkward to walk in. I ordered true to size with my heal ending directly at the end of the shoe. Wonder if going up a half size would make it less awkward. The shoes feel like they are falling off and while walking the shoe turns side ways a bit creating an uncomfortable gate. They are very easy to put on which is a plus but not the greatest shoe for walking in. Definitely not running or moving fast in these.

I usually love Vans! 7 was too small, 7.5 too big! Also, the top inside of shoe is very scratchy and uncomfortable. I think I'll have to try another style with real leather uppers.
