I wanted a shoe that somewhat looked like my Chuck T's because I started noticing everyone jumping on the Chuck T bandwagon. At first they were just an acceptable replacement, but now I think they look better with most jeans and shorts than the Chuck T's. I can wear them with socks or without socks and be comfortable. That being said, the worst part was the break-in period, which lasted over a month. The upper heel support is leather or synthetic leather, either way it is REALLY tacky. This ate away at my heel for quite awhile. I like to wear no-show socks and those were not high enough to stop the back of my ankle from getting chewed up. I started walking on the backs to make it loosen up a bit. I even contemplated putting some sort of fabric tape back there, or cutting out the leather part. But I toughed it out, and after about 1.5 months it eventually stopped being so tacky and now the shoe is perfect.

These are the shoes I have been searching for my entire life. Little did I know they were right under my nose. I`d always seen them and passed them up. The older I get, the lazier I get. No laces?! Sign me up! These are comfy. I have slightly wide feet and these really fit the bill in terms of not being too squished for my poor little feet. They are cute, go with everything, and are great every day shoe. No complaints thus far. I will continue to repurchase when these die.

Herk Engineer. I got my first pair of checkerboard Vans in the late 1970's when I was in high school in Southern California, (Artesia High). They were cool then and they're still cool today. Since then I've been flying for the Air Force for 16 years here in Arkansas. I got a pair for Christmas last year and I was surprised they still existed. I'm 41 now and I get so many compliments when I,m sporting my Vans. Everyones body grows older, but you're spirit doesn't have to,(I still skate the half pipe). For style, comfort, fit, and especially personality, you can't beat the "Classic Slip-On.

Love these. I was getting kind of bored/annoyed with my Converse lately (the tongue is all wrinkly), so when my friend got these in white and I tried them on I was inspired. I got these in black and white and they are really cute! At first I worried that they might be stiff for a while but after slipping them on and off to try them on about 5 times and wearing them for 1 school day, they've loosened up and fit perfectly! They make my feet look smaller than they are (yay) which I like about Vans, because Converse tend to do the opposite. Zappos service was great as usual. One thing, though -- these seem to run large, and I typically wear a women's 7 and my friend's 6 fit me. I ended up getting a 6.5, however, and they are perfect, so go a half-size down than your usual size. Thanks Zappos!

I absolutely love these shoes! They're true to the size and very comfortable. I feel like they're a staple that everyone needs in their wardrobe. Since they're white they match with almost everything. The shipping was SUPER fast. Overall a great product!

Vans are true to size and comfortable to wear! And the best place to buy them is at Zappos! Prices are comparable, rewards program excellent, and shipping is super quick! I buy lots of this shoe for an Etsy store where I hand paint for custom orders. Picture below shows what was painted on this pair!

I've bought these for my ten year old son for three years now. He loves how comfortable they are over the top of his foot because there are no laces to press down on it. What I have noticed that is not good about them is they tend to separate from the sides of the sole where the foot bends. Maybe this is because my son wears them a lot and is hard on shoes. The style we chose was the black checkerboard and it always looks good with shorts or jeans. Son says he likes the arch support, but honestly, there's not much there.

Not a cushy shock absorbing running shoe but a basic canvas and rubber sneaker. I got these to keep me from bare footing around the house and yard. They're great for that. Quick to step into and kick off. When I get 'em scummy from yard work and car washing I toss 'em in the washer and sit 'em out to dry. I wore them out to dinner when I first got 'em but then put 'em to work. I'm gonna get another pair so I've always got a dry pair on hand. And of course Zappos is great to deal with.

First of all, I got the black ones, but they look lighter than they actually are in real life due to the picture’s lighting. Other than that, they’re really black and look exactly like the pictures provided on here. I wore these shoes for the first time today since I bought them and they’re extremely cute! However, just a little heads up for first time buyers, these shoes do run pretty narrow; so if you have wide feet (like me), it’ll be a little bit difficult to put them on at first, but you should be fine once you break them in! That seems to be the case for me most of the time. Size-wise, I had no issues because these do run true to size. Other than that, I love these classic slip-ons and they’re my go-to shoes. Also, really great quality and super fast shipping and delivery since I purchased them using the app! They were shipped the same day I purchased them (I purchased them around 6am) and they were delivered the next day! Overall, I had a great experience with Zappos and I’m very happy with my purchase.

I bought these mostly for nostalgic reasons. I had a pair of the black and white checker/white when I was in eight grade and I loved them! Fast-forward many years (decades) later and I'm a college professor who sees many of his students wearing these now that they are back in style. So, I will say that I absolutely love the style and they make me happy when I wear them while I'm out and about with my daughter. So, how do they fit? Let me go into some detail here. First, these are narrow sneakers and I have a wide foot. Since they do not have laces, the worry that anyone with a wider foot should first have is, will my foot fit through the opening. After all, the opening is narrower than the place where the widest part of your foot will eventually reside. I have been wearing a size 13 for most of my adult life. Earlier this year I began to try a size 14 in certain shoes, and this has been very good. I had this misconception that size 14 would be much longer than size 13 (thinking it would be an inch longer since my feet are about 12 inches long and I wore a 13). It turns out I was wrong. If you look at the size chart that Zappos provides, you will not that the difference in length between a 13 and 14 is actually only 5/16 of an inch. Yes, just barely more than a quarter of an inch. What you will typically find though, is that the next size up in a pair of shoes is not only a little bit longer, but also a little bit larger in the other dimensions as well. So, when I was buying size 13 shoes, I always had to look for the wide or extra wide width in order for them to fit me, and even then they never were the best. My feet always seemed to end up wishing they had a wider platform, except in the widest of shoes. Now that I have tried size 14, the length feels fine, and the rest of the shoes have been so much better! So, I figured I would give these Vans a try. I had previously held off because they only come in medium width. They fit and they are comfy. The only bad thing, and I think this may have only been when they were brand new and they needed to be worn a bit and I had to get used to how my foot sat in them is that on the first day they rubbed the back of my heel until it hurt. I let that heal up (no pun intended) and now they feel fine when I wear them. The only thing I wish now is that Vans would make some of their more interesting colors available in a size 14 :-)

Love these! Just bought my second pair! Super comfortable and stylish. I now use my 3 yr old pair for yard work. Size is fine. They may feel a little snug for first week or so but they break into your feet very nicely. Remember they are slip-ons so you don’t want them too loose. My old pair are faded from washing so washing is not recommended.

Wear these if you're pregnant! My mother-in-law took me shopping for new shoes that I wouldn't have to tie, being eight months pregnant. I immediately dragged her to the nearest Vans store and bought some new slip-on's to replace my shot-out Spicoli's. I wear nothing else. If you get pregnant, stock up on all colors of this classic. When your feet swell, you'll be glad you did!

I love these! They’re so comfy, I tested them out when I went to Presque Isle last weekend with my boyfriend, and they did really well! I’ve been a Vans lover since high school, and they go with almost anything ?

I'm 60 yrs young and get a bit younger every time I slip into my vans. They were great decades ago and continue to be. When the purchase is coupled with Zappos great service... oh my! It's definitely "OFF THE WALL".

I’m a size 7.5 /8 and i was confused on which size to go for but I’m happy!!! I chose 7.5 because it fits just so perfect. I love it and it arrived fast didn’t take up to a week. Go for it it’s worth it.
