I ordered my usual size and I feel like these fit small. They were really tight in the toe box area. I returned them. I loved the color, but disliked how the shoe felt.

Love these old skool vans. I have them in most colors. They are comfy for a bit, but if walking many miles in a day, consider purchasing a vans shoe that has added cushion. I have a couple pair with the added cushion and they are very comfy.

Fits good but the "white" checkered is actually like a cream color not a real white. Super bummed.

Two weeks of wear and they're not any better. Stiff. Narrow. Rubbing all over my feet. Uncomfortable. Blisters galore. They should include a box of bandaids with these.

Had a very difficult time getting my heel into these, even with a big show horn. The heel is too stiff and rigid. Once in, the fit was fine — except ZERO arch support. Now I remember why I stopped buying Vans decades ago.

Both my heels are blistered after wearing these. Stitching on the back rubs into the achilles. I've worn vans for years with no problem until now.

It's been quite a few years since I bought a pair of Checkerboard Vans, and I was worried that the quality would have gone down like so many other brands these days. When they arrived, I was happy to see they were the same great Vans I remembered. Fun Fact: Since the checkboard part is canvas, you can color the white squares whatever colors you want with Sharpies! #sweepstakes

Super adorable embroidery with a spider embroidered on the heel. Ladies get two sets of laces, a black lacy web type shoelace and a regular pair.

As an east coast kid lucky enough to get ahead of trends by spending summers in Va Beach Va, I got my 1st pair of black and grey authentic's and brought them home to debut at my school that fall only to be joked on about my "funky shoes" I held my ground and for my 60th birthday, purchased the Halloween shoe just in time for Halloween. Rocking them around town, 4-5 different colors, all old skools, on the Harley and stepping out of my ford lightning or 55 pink and white Crown Vic.. yea, vans are the coolest, always have been, always will be!! Paul VanDoren, you are my hero!
