I've been buying black vans for years. This pair is definitely the most solid (along with my high top pro's.) Forking out an extra $15 for quality build is totally worth it for durability. The only con is that they're incredibly difficult to get on and off.

These are really comfortable and stylish shoes! I love being able to wear vans again and have some arch support. The only thing I'll say is it takes atleast a week to break them in to where they're comfortable for you. I had to take them off after wearing them for half a day the first day after that there was just a little more break in period before they were super comfortable to wear. I can wear them now for my entire 8+ hour shifts working at a preschool.

Great looking shoes. Son really likes, oddly enough they are very difficult to put on. Laces have to be extremely loose and require a shoe horn. Over all comfortable.

The shoe itself is very thick so it's tricky for me to skate with them sometimes. They are also kinda uncomfortable if worn for the whole day.

These ones seem to run a little snug. I'm hoping I just need to break them in since I got them for work and I'm on my feet all day. All my others fit like a glove. We shall see.

I purchased these upon recommendation from a sales person at the Vans store due to the sole comfort and durability. Definitely more comfortable than the classic slip ons however it did cut up the back of my heels. I've only worn them once and hope they break in soon. Would still recommend these bc they quality is a lot better than the classic ones.

I love getting pro models because they offer more cushioning.i gave 4 stars because they are a bit tight and will take some time to break in. They are a great looking shoe!

Been wearing vans since I was 12 and I'm 52 now. The only problem was the stitching on the right shoe is off centered.

I like the overall look of the sneaker. My son loves them a lot and I know depending on how long he has the pair he has and when they get messed up he would want me to get him another pair. He has so many other pairs of sneakers including another pair of vans which are gray and he only wants to wear the vans sneakers.

This is the second time purchasing this product. I love the look and feel of the cushion in the shoe. I would recommend this shoe. Now, when you purchase, know that they are a little tight in the first few weeks you own them

The shoes look great and are pretty similar to every other pair of classic vans but the insole is a thicker removable type and makes the fit a bit tighter and also pushes up your heel which has caused me to get a blister in the first 2 days of wear. I swapped out the insoles for some thinner gel ones and it fixed that right away and made the shoes perfect.

I love these shoes a lot! I am a long time Vans client and these have been my favorite to wear! They look really cool thanks to the amazing artist Daniel Johnston x Vans designers! These shoes are very nostalgic. I love that the shoes bring awareness to mental health because it is a growing problem right now coming out of the 2019 pandemic. My suggestion for the Vans company is to put the sales proceeds of these shoes towards mental health services. The only disappointment I have is the back of the shoe is uncomfortable. Most vans have leather in the back to keep from slip movement. The leather rubs more than some of the other shoes I have from them.

I like the shoes, they look great and seem to be of good construction. The insole is definitely nice. However, I did end up getting a blister on one of my heels after wearing them once. I've been using moleskin to protect my feet while the shoes break in. Something to be aware of.

LOVE how these shoes look! I wear size 9.5 and sometimes do not like the way this style of shoe looks on larger feet. But these look normal.
My only issue with low-top Vans is they take a while to break in. The blisters on my heels can attest to that. However, I have heard this is a common issue and once they are broken in (maybe a few months of short-term wearing) they become comfortable. So just wear bandaids on your heels the first few times!

11 year old is experiencing blisters on the back of the feet. Shoe sizing has always been on-point. Otherwise yes we continue to buy, he wears them out in about 3 months ( he mainly does scooter/biking/running/playing outside)

I work in construction/renovations and obviously vans slip ons are not quite the best shoe for the field but I have grown quite used to wearing loafers for a long time now. The biggest issue I found is that the size for these are tight for the similar size regular vans slip ons. I like the extra cushion and tread since you can imagine how quick being on your feet all day can wear through the soles. I don't understand what others say they have with the heel, I wear socks and maybe they are not but I will pay attention to it on my next pair. For the tightness I might need to go up a size which is a bit of an issue when your size 12 cause the next size goes straight to 13 which is a bit too big of a jump. Not too much of a choice though since these were way to tight and took a very long time to wear enough to start being comfortable.
