When the shoes arrived I did not try them on immediately. When I finally tried them on, I realized that the right shoe rubbed my bunion so that it is uncomfortable to wear. I like the look and style of the shoes but cannot wear them.

I own Vans in a womens 9, and this pair is not a 9, but more like an 8 or possibly 8.5, despite being labeled a 9. Mind you, I am an 8.5, so a 9 should be roomy. My big toe was smashed into end of shoe, and you could see it poking up at end of shoe. I loved the colors of this shoe, but the fit was super off. That was very disappointing. I opted to return instead of trying a larger size.

Correct order but the shoes were bent out of shape in the box. I am not sure how, maybe bad placement inside the box.

I primarily bought these for the rubber slow hoping they would be less slippery than other shoes. They might be however they are very heavy & make my feet hurt. I will try inserts & see if that helps the discomfort.
I'd also recommend:
Asics are most comfortable but slippery.

Great shoe. Gorgeous-looking. Unfortunately, it was ordered as a birthday present and it did not ship FOR AN ENTIRE WEEK. I was given no warning that it would take a week to ship; on the contrary, I was told delivery time was 3-5 business days.

Do you make the old skool corduroy in men's 10.5 or 11? Seems like it's always out of stock. - Matt

Stylish? Yes! Comfortable? No! I need to wear orthotics due to pronated feet, when I use them in these shoes, they're difficult to fit my feet in.

But my daughter complained that the back of the shoe on the heel rubbed her skin raw. We will be returning these.

The issue for me was the pictures on the shoes, some of them are faded and its difficult to see them or read. Online you can see the characters clearly but when you get the shoes pictures are faded and I didn't like that at all, i couldn't even see the writing of mohana means family, so upsetting , dissatisfied and disappointing

The style and suede orangish tan with brown accents looks great, however these do NOT run even close to size. I usually wear 10.5...sometimes 11 depending on the shoe manufacturer. I ordered 10.5...WAY too small. Returned and tried 11...my feet fit in, but I big toenail was hard up against the upper, and it was easy to tell that it would hurt after a short time of wearing. Of course, they don't have 11.5. Had the site mentioned they run small, I could have saved the trouble and ordered something else. The first pair was ordered during the black Friday sale...the second pair missed the sale, AND we had a pre-existing five dollar credit on the site that I used on the first pair. The shoes were returned, but we didn't get that five dollar credit back. Why?
I really wish Merrell didn't stop making the cool and comfortable shoes that fit perfectly. Nothing but tennis shoes and boots/hiking shoes now. Pity.

I love the antler color. The sneakers are really cute but fit is narrow. And they are difficult to put on unless you loosen the laces all the way to the bottom.

I really like the look, but to be honest, they are not the most comfortable. some foam padding (or more of it) would be nice.

This is the first time I've gotten a pair that weren't perfect! The sizing was off- I love the design- I want a pair that fits perfectly like my other 25 pair!

Bought where shoes for my wife. When they arrived they were way too big for her. I tried them on and they fit me!! She wears a w8.5 and me m8.5. These were definitely men's 8.5 marked as women's. Can't reorder because now they're sold out.

I want to love these. As long as I don't actually need to walk in them... they're fine. Even with inserts, they just aren't comfortable. I have very flat feet and the widest part is at my big toe joint, which is where these are the most narrow.

I usually have no problem with my shoes fitting tight because I have narrow feet. These shoes were way to tight. I should have gone up a size or two.

I don't know if it is just me but when I wear the shoes they rub on the back of my heels and cause a great deal of pain. Other than the fact that I have to wear bandaids when I wear the shoes they look really cool and are quite comfortable.

I normally wear a 9.5, but they were out of that size. So I went to their sizing guide just to see what it says, measured my foot, and it came back with size 7 for me!! They had that size in stock and free returns so I decided to give it a shot. Of course the shoe was ridiculously small for me, a 9.5 would have been right. Shoes seemed great other than the size. Vans, fix your size guide.
