Design team fail on this one putting the seam across the toes right where it's going to jab someone in their pinky toe. That on top of having no absolutely no arch support. They're cute but really worthless.

I'm giving it 1* because the size that fits me is "out of stock"

Fur is only around collar, not inside the shoe, for the price it should be. Returned.

Wish these fit both the form and function I was looking for. I need to find beautiful fashion sneakers that are ALSO super comfortable. These do not fit the bill. They look super cute, but no cushion, felt narrow, and the toe box is small.

I love the look of the shoe however the very top where it ties is a problem and it digs into my ankles

In the past, I have had only positive experiences with Vans, but my latest pair arrived and looked shoddy.

I ordered a 5.5 in woman's because I've always ordered this size in vans. I'm normally a 6 but a 6 has always been to big in vans. They were way too small. Wish their sizes in this particular shoe was the same as all their others. I think I would have to order a size up in this shoe instead of a size down :(

i got a size 6 in women's, the shoe is nice but the back part seriously hurts the back of my ankle, i really like them but they're so painful to walk in. not worth it if you want to actually walk in these shoes lol

I bought shorter laces to show off the guardians symbols on the tongue. While relacing them, I noticed the reflective symbols on the shoe are peeling off and the fabric is peeling off the leather by the top eyelet. I'm very disappointed in the quality of these shoes, but can still admit they are very cute. I've owned vans for years and this is not typical, but for the price I expect better.

I have a huge old skool vans collection and couldn't wait to have a color like this. I have over 10 pairs but had to give these a 2 star. They are very cute but unfortunately they came damaged. Too bad I can't return them because I wore them already without realizing it because, I didn't notice until I was out in the sun. It's hard to describe but they are kinda faded in the top area.

Vans shoes look amazing but they're so cheaply made now.. what happened to you all.. compare older vans to today's shoes to see what I mean.. it's ridiculous

I've gotten the perf slip on for years in both the black and white. I reorder the white recently in the same size as always (women's 7.5) and they are suddenly way to wide. Slip right off my feet when walking.

These sneakers are adorable but I always wear a size 6 in Vans and they are probably a full size too small.

I have been wearing Vans since I was in high school and I'm 36 years old now... So, almost 20 years now and I have notice that the quality in the material has changed... mine Vans have only been worn a few times and we're in my closet and when I took them out... they were turning YELLOW

Love these shoes, so cute and comfy but for some reason they squeak loudly when I walk. I don't wear them because it annoys me. I have 2 pairs of this style, they both do it (my other ones k my squeak periodically) but these ones do it so much it can't be ignored.

Love the style, love the fit. However, I am returning them because I want the toe to be wipeable leather and not suede. Hopefully, there will be other choices later this season

They are really cute, but the comfort level is not what I thought it would be. Can't wear for very long.

The glitter sneaker is a cool concept, but the shoes feel so coated in glue to make the glitter stick that they are stiff as a board. I love how cute they looked on, enough to consider whether they would stretch or loosen with wear. After doing two laps around my bedroom, I decided I couldn’t conceivably wear them if I planned to walk at all, e.g., the short distance to my car. Back they go!

I had high hopes for these shoes. Unfortunately, they inflict torture at the back of the ankle. I wore them for about two hours, not walking around all that much, and they still caused blisters. The pain started with 15 minutes of putting them on. They look nice, the suede is good, the foot bed is fine – but these shoes are horribly designed and constructed at the back of the ankle. This one issue makes the shoes unbearable to wear.

Too tight across bridge of foot. Never put both on. Never worn/used. Still in original box. Had been misplaced and assumed returned. However they were just located snd will be sent UPS sometime in the near future.
