These run big! I normally wear a size 7 in Vans and I ended up having to exchange them for a 6. Also, there is a super prominent seam on the inside of the shoe where the back of the heel rests. Hurts a lot to walk in them but hopefully once I break them in they won't be so bad. They are extremely cute though and I get compliments every time I wear them!

Maybe buy this product again because they are cute like expected but the grey on the shoe is a little weird like it's not a grey you would think ig.

First time buying vans and I must say, that I'm impressed. The shoes are light, comfortable and stylish....the type of shoe you can pair with anything casual. I'd recommend them to anyone reading and would/plan to purchase in the future provide they don't change too much.

Super cute shoe. Does run big compared to the slip on vans. My daughter went down about 1/2 size. Other than that, she loves them!

I ordered this in my new (bigger) shoe size because all my vans from before pregnancy are too tight so I figured this would got like all the other vans I've sized up to. I was wrong. At first it wasn't noticeably too big but after wearing them for a few hours I noticed and they hurt my foot where they were big. Wish I wouldn't have worn them out so I could return them and go down a size. They are super comfortable though other than being big. Definitely recommend especially for people who can't do the normal vans- the ultra cush is very supportive.

These were very cute in person but a lot roomier than most Vans I own. I need to wear thick socks. The bulky sole also makes them a bit harder to walk in. Next time I'll half size down on this style!

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)

First of all, I am obsessed with the look of these shoes! And I'm glad I got them while they were on sale! I did order a size down, I am typically a 5.5 in Vans slip ons and with the platforms my heels usually slip out so I went with a 5. I was nervous at first because it was a real struggle to get them on. Once I loosened the ridiculously tight laces they fit perfectly. I have yet to wear them for a long period of time so I can't comment on comfort or my usual issue of Vans rubbing my heels raw.. Overall, I'd give them an 8/10.
I'd also recommend:

I haven't had Vans since high school, but I have always wanted to purchase some all-white shoes to wear with jeans and shorts since I mainly own heels or tennis shoes. Zappos had a sale on these I just couldn't pass up at the time of my purchase, and I was thrilled to receive them. However, the site says they run true to size, and my foot size is a true women's 8.5 or 9. Well, I ordered an 8.5 since I went with what over 80% of customers were saying, and truly it felt like a 9.5. My foot was coming out of the heel even with the laces all snug on my foot. I spoke with customer support and they were the nicest, most helpful staff ever and assisted me with an exchange to get a size 8. I even told them I had already worn them outside as I had to test them and they made an exception, which makes me trust and come back to buy shoes from Zappos again. Now, the 8 feels too tight, unfortunately, and there is not much more left to do. It could be because I have Morton's toe. The width is fine, my feet are wider than most people's, but for arch support, its about the flattest shoe you can get. I know with time it will definitely get softer and more pliable as I remember them in high school. You do have to wear these out a ton until you get used to the feel. Overall, I'm just happy with the experience of the site. My recommendation if you're in-between sizes is to size down. You don't want to feel like you're wearing clown shoes, or have to double up on socks like I did at first!

I'd been watching Vans UltraRange since they came out and finally decided to try em out. I sincerely should not have waited. I have serious back problems thanks to a roller derby injury years ago. Since then, I can only handle shoes that have no heel to toe drop. Most shoes without drop have little to no support or grip on the sole. These are a godsend. Amazing grip, very comfortable, and still look brand new a week after beating the heck outta them at work. Definitely recommend! The one downfall is the short laces. I've barely got any slack to tie em up! Otherwise, absolutely fab.

The Vans Ultrarange shoes are fantastic. But, the pair sent to me had a minor defect. I contacted Vans, sent pictures, and they immediately credited my card 20% refund which is what I wanted. I glued the defect and hopefully it will be fine!

Loved the design! Only thing is they are a little tight in the top of the foot hopefully they feel better after I break them in.

These are very pretty and stylish. The pattern is unique. They fit a little differently than my typical womens 8.5 though. They are actually a little snug in the toe area to the point where it hurts to wear them for hours at a time. I'm hoping I can break them in quickly though.

I thought these were pinker than they are. They are more tan-ish. I was looking to replace the light pink checkerboards that I had and loved. Hopefully I'll grow to love these too.

Great, comfortable and great shoes. I owned a pair myself and I liked them so much, that I decided to buy another pair as a gift for a relative. The person also love them.

I love the pattern, can go with almost anything without looking too out of place. (For me) I like the collar padding but wish the insoles were cush. If these were removable I could put my cush insole from the slip on I don't wear as much in and make them perfect. My perfect Van's would be all the cool designs but include padded collar, pro cush insole and slightly padded tongue. I love them all. I'm sure I have over 30 pairs. Always buy in pairs. Lol. Been wearing since 80s when I raced BMX. I remember the Van's half pipe and the mass of Van's being sold at events. I still have high tops from 80s in attic.

Little stiff at the heel, has blisters for about 2 days, but after I broke them in they were great! Love them. Would buy again. Wear thicker socks the first few times.

Very attractive shoes. I have narrow long feet, and love this fit. I own several types of Vans shoes and the 2019 UltraRange pair was SUPER comfy and supportive. This new design is a bit stiff and rubbed the back of my heel. I wore them in the house to see if they would break in a bit, but ultimately returned them and exchanged for the "old style" with no problems. Vans is a great company!

Love almost everything about this shoe! Super light weight and comfortable. They are a little tight right behind my toes but I have a wider foot and I am still able to make it work.

so far these are pretty great. they're comfy, they're light, i can run short distances (did a few 400m) in them just fine. i only gave four starts because there is a VERY slight lift in the heel which has caused my turf toe to flare up because i wore them walking on my work commute. i'm keeping an eye on how the hold up also.

I haven't worn them yet but look great. Also I usually wear a 9.5-10 women's and sized down to a 9.0 and they're perfect.
