These shoes are like a lazy mans/womens dream. They are easy to put on and very comfy, just like lazy people are. There is a built in shoe horn so the back heel doesnt cave in for those of you who like the "no hands" approach at putting them on. These also have alot of different designs and colors ,so you can have a whole collection of them if you wanted. I have seen them cheaper but usually theyre between $40-50 U.S dollars.

"OMG, these toddler pure white slip-on Vans are the cutest! They are super easy to put on and take off, which is a lifesaver when dealing with wiggly little feet. The pure white color is so fresh and goes with everything. Plus, the slip-on style means no fussing with laces. They're comfy and stylish, making them perfect for any adventure. Highly recommend for your little one's shoe collection!

While this insole is great for a casual skate session, taking heavy impact in Classics may add some wear to your feet. The Vans Skate Classics up the comfort levels with a PopCush energy return footbed that increases impact protection so you can skate longer with more comfort. Yes, but make sure you're getting the right ones. The normal slip ons that Vans sell aren't made for skating but just fashion. However they do have a special line called the “Skate” line of slip ons which include more durable suede uppers, DuraCap rubber on the sides, and the Popcush insole.

These are great shoes to wear in the summer with shorts! They are not only stylish, but comfortable and stylish. They are not as sturdy as your typical sneaker that laces up, but they can still be used for walking outside on pavement or grass. They get a lot of compliments! Because of the simplistic design, they will be in style for years! If they came in women’s sizes, I would buy them in every color!
There are 2 problems with these shoes..... First and a MAJOR problem. If you put these in a washing machine they will dry out with awful brown yellow marks all over them. I have had two pairs and it happened to both. One pair I wore for an hour, they got splashed very slightly with a muddy puddle, so I thought no problem, they are canvass I will just pop them in the washing machine. When they dry out they are pretty much destroyed. This weird brown and yellow tide mark appears ALL OVER the shoes and there is no way, even with watered down bleach, to remove the discolouration.2nd EVERY other pair of 'Classic vans slip ons' has the, Classic Vans Chequered sole, which is a gum colour underneath, for some reason, Vans have gone out of their way and spent unnecessary ... MoreThere are 2 problems with these shoes.....

This sole is nowhere near as good as the classic sole it is not as hardwearing, looks cheap and makes the shoes look like fakes. To me this seems like some kind of madness? They have spent extra time and effort to make an inferior product. The checker board classic vans slip ons and every other colour classic slip ons have the gum undersole, these 'pure white' have had time and effort spent on them to give you a cheap looking white sole?They are also smaller than other vans I have bought, if you want 8 buy 8.5
They are beautiful. I've been wanting vans for quite some time & unfortunately it was never available in my size (at least not in the stores). I don't like ordering online until I know that the item will fit. It's always been an issue my entire life.Finally I was in a store & they had a 14 for me to try on & they fit perfectly. It was an easy decision after that. I ordered the color I wanted online. I do wish they offered the heavier more durable version vans in my size but they stop at 13.
Needed a new pair of work shoes and didn't want to put too much money out, bought these on a good sale. Shoes are great, however they are a bit uncomfortable after a couple of hours of wear. However I don't think they were made for prolonged standing so buying a new insole solved the problem instantly. Overall these are really great shoes and I truly recommend them to anyone.
Insoles are glued to shoe and therefore not removable: therefore, if one wants after-market insoles, one can only *add* them on top of the insoles that cone with the shoe and thus make the shoe smaller; one cannot replace the factory-default, non-custom ones that come with the shoe. And if the insoles wear out, one cannot remove/replace then to (re)freshen them/the shoes (neither can the insoles be removed to help the shoes dry faster if one wants).Would I recomend them? This would depend on the context, what one wants them for.
Bought these as I wanted some nice trainers for holiday and seen this and thought they looked very stylish whether I'm just getting out the pool to slip on or if I'm going out. They really are smart and with a brand like vans you can't go wrong. I only did 4 stars as at the back where your heel goes it's like a rubber texture and caused me a bad blister but that happens when breaking in new shoes but maybe it could have been avoided if it wasn't rubber. Overall still very lovely trainers.
I purchased a replacement pair of my current vans EXACT same ones. Vans must have made some changes to the classics. There is now a leather material around the ankle which cause some pressure and discomfort. The material of the overall shoe is not the same as my others. They have no give to them and are tight. I already do up a size and still don't feel right. Very disappointed.
