From the easy to navigate website, I found exactly what I wanted, they were in stock and after ordering I received confirmation and tracking info. My shoes showed up a couple of days later. They feel good from day one. I love the shoes, I would buy them again and again

I've owned 4 pairs of these shoes and absolutely love them. I wear them basically every day and do everything with them. I've tried other vans products and been disappointed, but these shoes have never let me down.
Here are the 3 things I like most about the shoe:
Grip: I don't really skateboard that much but I certainly ride bikes a whole lot. I find that this shoe offers great grip on flat pedals. It is awesome as just a commuter shoe or even a mountain biking shoe because of the grip. Off the bike I find that I'm never wanting for traction. Even in snow I find these shoes often times grip better than even my hiking boots.
Fit/comfort: these shoes are extremely comfortable. As someone with a wider foot, I often find shoes to be uncomfortable after prolonged periods because they don't stretch to accommodate my foot. These on the other hand stretch over time to mold around the shape of my foot and they become extremely comfortable. I have no problem walking over 10 miles a day in this shoe. Other shoes from vans like their bmx waffle cup don't break in like this and it is for that reason I don't use them as a cycling shoe.
Durability: these shoes have pretty great durability. I find that the construction of the shoe is solid overall. The duracap is a more stout construction than other vans and leads to the toe box being slightly water proof I find that after months of every day wear that the canvas will sometimes get small tears or that the material color will fade, but in my opinion it doesn't affect the performance of the shoe. The sole lasts a decently long time and holds up fairly well. I have not gotten the metal pins of my flat pedals to pierce the midsole, but they do tear it up a bit, common for the territory. They don't last as long as other outsoles but that's fine. It's the trade off you make for grip. I think for the amount of grip they are still adequately durable.
Overall, I love these shoes and will continue yo buy them for the foreseeable future. If you never had vans, this shoe should be on your short list. I love these shoes, durable, grippy, comfortable, you can feel the ground the perfect amount and know exactly what's going on underneath your feet. They give you this added bit of control and precision that only comes with a shoe that lets your foot move as the creator intended.

Never had slip on vans before, they run a tad bit smaller wish I knew before ordering. Pop Cush are super comfortable tho so I am happy.

I don't normally buy anime/manga merch, but both the idea and execution of the design was way too good to pass this up. Purple is a fun color to make work in an outfit, but I would say this is also just a great collectable. Fits very well and comes with additional purple laces.

I'm a men's 6, but ordered a 6.5. Fit perfectly, because they run a bit small. I love the colour. I'm going to wear them to pride. They're very comfortable, but need a bit of breaking in, but that's normal.
The shoes also came with another pair of shoelaces, which is great.
All in all, order a half size or more up, and they'll fit perfectly.

I've had issues with shoes for years and the Skate Slip-Ons seem to be the best I've found for comfort. I wear these all day, every day and my feet are killing me.
And a bonus......they are the checkerboard pattern!!

I take my Vans to new heights every day. The terrain I traverse is often of the most gnar. Big rocks and high drops. Rivers and roads. My Vans got me.

This is a big step up in comfort from the original. If you're a fan of the original and you want something that is a bit more comfortable and durable then you cannot go wrong with these. Get'em while they're hot!!

These shoes are far superior to the regular slip-on. So comfy and sleek. They wear well with or without socks. I'm a 12, but sized up to 13. Perfect.

What gives these arch support is the PopCrush. Any vans without PopCrush or ultra thick Kush our trash. The shoes look great, and I really comfortable. They were a gift for my son and he loves them.
I'd also recommend:
Micro to shoes are vans with pop Kush and DC’s

I know these shoes are designed for younger people although; I find them to be perfect for my flat feet. The new footbed is spot on. If you start wearing this style now, your feet will thank you later.

Work in construction and use these as work shoes. Love them because I hate socks. Very easy to move around in and have put miles on them before they are not usable.
