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.

I thought these looked better online than they did in person. The sizing felt too long as well. I ended up returning these shoes and didn't bother to order in another size. I feel like Vans used to be a solid, super comfortable shoe but I have not been impressed lately and have tried numerous different styles.

These shoes do not hold up very well. They had a hole in them within a month. Not durable enough for the skate park. Comfortable but Will not buy again.

Good looking shoe, not a lot of support on the uppers. Comfortable, just an okay kind of shoe to wear casual. I probably would not buy another pair. You can pick up a quality walking/running shoe for about the same price

These shoes are so cute and after all of the great reviews I thought they would be perfect for being on my feet all day. Unfortunately they rubbed blisters so bad on my ankles the first day of wear. I tried to wear them a few different times after letting the blisters heal, but they were still so painful on my ankles. I'm disappointed because I love this style of Vans, they are super lightweight, and the sole is very comfortable.

Tried them on around the house and they felt ok but not what I’m looking for in terms of long term support, I’m an RT and would need them for 12 hour shifts. I don’t believe these would support my feet all day.

Love the color and the look, but will have to return due to being too small. The other shoes I got in a women's size 12 fit just fine so I'll be keeping and enjoying them!

My son has grown up in Vans, they were always the shoe brand that fit his somewhat wide foot. We so wanted to keep these -- he thought the sole was so comfortable and the color/style so grown up! But they fit a bit off from the usual vans fare he's worn; a bit long in the toe box, snug in the back to the point where he felt the ankle piece would continue to be uncomfortable. He went back to a kids/mid ankle style and maybe we'll try again in a size or two.

I have worn these shoes for a few weeks now and the left shoe feels like a different size than the right. It has a smaller toe box and the tongue of the shoe breaks oddly on my foot. I thought I received a Zappos email asking me how the shoes work/fit and unfortunately the answer is not good.

I have the Ultra Range Rapid Weld and LOVE how cushy they are. However, these are lacking the support, comfort and cushion of the former. Sadly, I returned.

Based on their "UltraCush" tech description I thought they would have been way more comfortable than they are, I'm actually a bit disappointed overall. They're not bad but they're not great either. My previous pair of shoes were the Van Ultrarange 3d and they were the most comfortable Vans I've ever had. Unfortunately, they don't seem to make that shoe any longer and I haven't been able to find any. My hope was these were going to be an equal replacement and they don't come close.

These seemed cheaply made. Not as nice as the Ultrarange model. The EXO SE was not made as well.

I had the Rapidwelds before these EXO. I loved the Rapidwelds they were comfortable and great for walking. I just wished the toe box was a teeny bit wider. Other than that, they were amazing. In the Rapidwelds I bought an 8.5, and probably could've gotten away with a 9, but still thought the 8.5 was fine.
The EXO had the toe box I wanted but lacked a lot of what the Rapidweld had, in my opinion. It wasn't as cushioned and comfortable as the Rapidweld. I actually had to return, because the backs of the shoes were leaving blisters even after a month of wear. I took breaks from them to let my blisters heal/callous over, which usually works, but the backs of these shoes are extra rigid I guess. So that was kind of a bummer. I really liked the design of the shoe, it seemed hardier than the Rapidweld, and like it might last longer, it just wasn't nearly as comfortable. The sizing for the EXO was more accurate than the Rapidweld. I'm usually an 8.5, sometimes a 9. The 8.5 fit perfectly.

I wear a 7.5 in 99% of shoes and these run a little big. Like the design, I will just wear thick socks

Fit well, no issues. The cut and style was very flattering. The pictures online of the Leila (Tiny Animal) look like a nice neutral very light beige color but alas in reality it’s peachy-flesh-colored. Looks like cheap makeup. Had to return.

The shoes are painful to break in! I wore so many times and yet they still hurt. I took them to Disney and my foot was bleeding at the end of the day.
I bought them again after a couple years because I thought maybe I didn't break them in enough. Nope!!

I bought a pair of these in July 2024. After only a few weeks of wear I noticed the side logos falling off the shoe. I returned them and at the suggestion of the cashier got another pair thinking they may have been faulty. The same thing has started to happen to this pair after a couple months of use. I had bought this model back in 2018 and they were one of the best pair of shoes I'd ever owned. The quality seems to have changed a lot since then. I won't be buying these again unless Vans addresses this issue in quality and may switch to another brand altogether after years.

I love vans pretty much the only shoes I wear. These were comfortable to me, but the shoe doesn't last. Less than 6 months old and they're falling apart. They look 3 years old already

I love the look of this shoe, but it is narrower, shorter in height (can't do a high instep) and has very little arch support. Total bummer - I really wanted this shoe to work out.

Shoes look and feel great, soles have to be the cushiest I've ever seen on a pair of vans. For whatever reason the left shoe crease around the end of the tongue/laces were absolutely killer though, left the "knuckles" of my toes bruised after just a day at work wearing them. Super painful to walk around in let alone drive in, unfortunately had to send them back. Right shoe was fine!

I was really disappointed in these and sent them back. FWIW, I'm a big fan of Vans and I wore my Ultrarange Rapidwelds for several years. I bought these EXOs to replace my Rapidwelds, but they just weren't the same (for me). Compared to my old Ultrarange, these just felt cheaper, had less cushioning, and the arches (granted there isn't much of an arch in Vans) were almost lumpy. Really disappointed as I wanted to love these lile my previous Ultraranges....too bad I can't still get the old version in my size . Sigh.

I bought these to replace my previous, meshier version. 1> footbed is less cushy than before, 2> new reinforcement=less mesh=warmer feet=stiffer shoe.

Purchased these shoes about 2 months ago, initially loved how they look and feel when wearing them. Sadly, a hole has already shown up between the toe material and the fabric on the front of the shoe. I have only been wearing these to a typical desk job a few times a week, so I was really sad to see that they aren't holding up to even light use.

The glue doesn't hold and the sole starts to come off. I used it daily in the office. Been through 2 pairs in less than year and a half.
