Wore them twice and all of the sides rubber separated from the shoe. Emailed Zappos they sent out a new pair next day. Didn’t happen with the 2nd pair.

Re: 1/2 size too big. I wear my normal size in the slip-on classics and laced up old skool Vans. But the platform was a 1/2 size too big. Sadly have to return them. On a side note: I really love and happy with the Zappos App. Very user-friendly!

I wore these for a few weeks and ended up with the worst heel pain. This was my first time wearing Old Skool. I have worn slip-on style Vans for 30 of my 41 years and still love them. They were my only flat shoes for 10 days walking in NYC and after so many days of pain my spouse looked it up and found that this specific style causes this heel pain for others. Super bummed. Back to slip-on only.

Size up if you have wider feet. Also get some sort of guard for the backs of your heels. These gave me blister after my first day wearing them. Wear socks! They’re super cute though.

I was SO excited for my new sparkly shoes! The first pair I ordered in my size- W10. They were way too small, so I tried again, ordering up a size (W11)... way too big. I would love to try a W10.5, alas they are out of stock :(

These shoes were super comfortable when I first put them on, I still get blisters from them but I assume my feet are still adjusting.
My complain is with the quality of the shoe. I have been wearing them for only a month and the rubber sole has already begun to separate from the cloth shoe on both sides of both shoes. Frustrating. Not a super expensive product, but also no cheap - it shouldn't start to fall apart after just a month.
If I didn't need these shoes for an international trip I am leaving for tomorrow, I'd return them.

These were way more 'sparkle-y' and heavy that I anticipated. Even the soles sparkle. If you are used to Allbirds shoes and their comfort level- you will be disappointed. However, if you want to make a very sparkle?-y statement, you will be happy.

The shoe fits me about half a size too big. I haven’t tried putting insoles in but it could help with making it more comfortable and a better fit for my feet. I always get compliments on how cool and hip they are!

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

My son wore these 3 times and they were already falling apart, unfortunately. They are very light weight. The material feels cheap. Its disappointing because they look cool
