These shoes look great and are comfortable. Only a small warning, the toe box is a bit small so they press a bit on your pinky toe if you tend to dislike that about shoes. They did loosen up a lot on my pinky after one day of wear and I still think they are overall very comfortable shoes. I am on vacation and I think I will do most of my walking in them.

Bought a size 9 as the all black 8.5 was too small but the 9 was way too big. Will try again with a 8.5 in store. Return and refund was quick and easy. I like that.

I bought these for casual wear & for work. Looks great either way, especially with scrubs!
I do have wider feet & wish there was a wide option just for some extra room.

Cute! But I had to exchange for a smaller size. I always wear a 9.5 but had to exchange them for a 9. The outer rim is not padded near the heal or ankles like my other Vans and that caused me to step out of them.
I had to wear them a couple days to break them in.

As always lite and comfortable. Printing could be better as deeper looks shows the printing errors. Price on slightly higher side which could be lower.

Like them only reason I got them was for the pride representation. I wish this variation was available in the ultrarange rapidweld. The tongue on the exo is too thin and is not comfy for me.

Love the look of it! Simple but classy. One complaint is the weight. It's a little heavy compared to the shoes I have now. I decided to keep it.

People were right about it being big. It's larger in the heel area, like the toe area fits the same as other shoes but the heels rather loose in comparison. I'm keeping it since I don't plan on running in them

I wear these with no show socks with jeans or shorts. As these are smooth black leather, they are a bit more dressy than the usual fabric off-colors, but not too much, and as such, can be used in ways you can't with just fabric shoes.
The perforations don't do much for keeping your feet cool though... but it does look cool, which is important, right?
I ordered size 10 which is my normal size but found it a bit tight and that was with thin no show socks. I suggest you try them on to see if you are true to size or need a half size larger.

Ehh good shoe when walking but the back tip of the shoe that meets the arch is just too high and rubs a nice burn if you wear low cut socks but comfy to walk in and has a nice feel even on concrete.

I own several pairs of VANS in a 7 and 7 1/2 and never had the issue where they ran short. Super cute summer colors but I have to return. Gave it 2 stars due to they were to short.
I'd also recommend:
Vans, Converse

I have wide feet and these shoes feel great. I'd give them 5 stars except the left shoe rubbed my achilles for a few wears. Wore them all over Vegas.

I loved these shoes the minute I put them on. My 12+ hour a day job requires comfy shoes and these were. Unfortunately they started to tear after only 2 months.
I'll get another pair as soon as the Pomegranate color is available.

So far the quality of these has held up, which I'm happy about after reading other reviews. The back of the heel part has pleather ? So a little hurty

I am a Vans shoe collector, I am a fan of every single model! The only thing about this specific pair that I am not 100%, they look ''more green'' on the picture that they actually are. So they are not exactly the color I wanted but I will still wear them. I will have to buy another pair when I'll find the exact green I was loo0king for :P

I bought my normal Vans size which I have never varied from and they felt kind of floppy when I tried walking in them. Returned and got a half size down. The smaller size length is just barely enough but definitely a better width that doesn't feel like I'm going to walk out of them. Look exactly like the pictures.

I just received them and tried. I ordered half size up.
Regular size is 6 but I ordered 6.5. Still tight. I should wear
Without socks. So I recommend 1 full size up if you want to wear with socks.
I also have comfycush slip on. Should have ordered a full size up those too. Too tight. But I will keep it....overall I like them. Classic version is more heavy. I like comfy cush better.

Was too white. I wanted an off-white/ivory. Other than that, way more comfortable than my Superga!

Really cool design! I love vampire and horror movies and I hope in the future Vans would make more of these kind of designs. These are a little snug at first when you put them on but eventually will loosen in time.

The white fabric is slightly different from the rubber, but that's fair. They were a half a size too big. My other Vans are 9.5, but I should've gotten them in a 9. Overall, they're super cute and I would totally recommend!

I was going to use these to wear outside when I run errands. The first pair I bought was my size, Women's 7.5M, but they were s half to a full size too large so I returned them. I bought them again in size Women's 7M and while they fit lengthwise, they slipped off one of my heels when I tried them on and walked around a little bit. One shoe had a couple deep indentations in the insole near the ball of the foot. I could also feel a shift in layers in the insole in front of the arch, so, these are going back. While a third try may be a charm, I decided to buy something entirely different and went with the Mystic Metallic ComfyCush Old Skool in my usual size - TOTALLY KILLER KICKS! I think I'll pass on the classic slip-on style in the future.
