Canvas is not white and sole is
I was so excited to receive these as a gift I asked for for Christmas. I'm highly disappointed in the fact that the canvas "white" is very much a cream color while the stacked sole is pure white. I don't like the color difference at all. I also got a pair of purple and white regular checkered and they are pure white with pure white. I expected white and black to mean white, not cream... The canvas looks dingy compared to the nice white of the sole.... Show more

Cute retro Vans and true to size, don't size down!
Love love love these! Same checkered design and fit as when I was a teen. I listened to the reviews and ended up buying half a size down thinking they were running large, but don't do it! Order your true size, these run narrow and tight on your foot. I think there's another re-issue version that might run bigger but these classic ones do not. I need to exchange these for my true size now to give me more room! For the price, it's still worth the effort to get the right fit.... Show more

I love Vans but these are poor
I have been wearing Vans for 10+ years and this is the first pair I have really not been impressed with. They started falling apart (see picture!) after 8 weeks and I usually buy a pair yearly. I usually buy the classic black slip on platform but Vans seem to have discontinued these, hence why I bought this pair which is chunkier! I think they’re too chunky and that’s why they broke where they did, it’s the like chunk is too big/strong for the material/glue. They’re also quite big - I don’t know if my feet have shrunk but I’ve started having to go down a size in Vans and haven’t had to usually... Show more

In my Checkered Era!
I bought the checkerboard marshmallow on sale, and they are perfect. I did not read the reviews, which I’m glad because apparently, ppl are sizing down. But I found these ran TTS for me. I’m a true size 5 womens or kids size 3, and very rarely have to size up in any shoe besides in mules sometimes. My foot width is normal to narrow I’d say. These fit great and are comfortable right out the box for me. I don’t own any Vans. But when I saw this neutral color way, I had to get it. So cute and goes with everything. Highly recommend!...

My favorite shoe
I love the checkered platform. It's pretty much all I wear anymore. This will be my 4th or 5th pair, and I usually pick them up during a 30% off sale. Even if I don't need a new pair immediately, I will eventually wear out the ones I wear daily. My one complaint is that the canvas started to pull away from the rubber where my shoe flexes while walking. This happens on each pair I have. It would be nice if that area were extra re-enforced....

Obsessed but they do run big....
I am obsessed with these shoes! The platforms are so cute and they elevate the classic checkerboard to a whole new level! One thing I will say though is that they do run big. I typically wear a women's 7 and in most Vans I usually wear a women's 6.5. However, on this particular shoe I had to size down to the a women's 6 because the 6.5 was too big & my heal kept slipping out. I think it might be from the weight of the platform. The women's 6 is perfect though and they are the cutest shoes of the summer!... Show more

Online shopping vs. store
Every time I purchase a product on line, I feel I'm taking a gamble, but I loved the print and excited about the Stackform. I used the size chart guide, as well as the size of Vann's I currently wear to order. When they arrived, I immediately put them on, only to find they slip off my heel as I walk. I love the print, but I have not worn them thinking they will certainly give me blisters. Needless to say, I was so disappointed. I was hoping to be the cool grandma in my cute Vann's. I wish sizing was consistent when I don't find the product in store. I probably won't buy online again.... Show more

Slipped off my heels...sad day!
I was thrilled to finally be able to purchase the Stackform Vans as I wear the slip ons religiously. I bought them in my size, 8, like all my others and they slip right off my heels when I walk. Socks, no socks, inserts, no inserts. Total fail. I'm trying to decide if I should try a half size smaller....afraid they will be too narrow then as the 8 already seemed more narrow than the regular slip on Vans. Very disappointing....hope they fix this problem.... Show more

So cute but run big
These are super cute but run huge on me. I am an 8.5 in all Vans usually, and have extremely narrow feet. These are at least half a size too big and are pretty wide. Not sure how on earth another reviewer found these to be too narrow? That is wild lol. Will end up exchanging for a smaller size and hopefully they fit! One thing you will want to make notice of in the pics, the demin squares have a bit of a distressed look to them, and it looks kinda weird on some squares as they are not really evenly distressed, but still love the look!...

So cute, but so ill fitting
I love these sneakers, they're just as cute in person as they are online. However, they slip off of the heel SO badly. I first ordered the size I wear in all my Vans (women's 6.5) and thought maybe they just ran big, but after exchanging them for a half size smaller they were still slipping. And not just a little bit, to the point that it was hard to walk in them. I think the platform doesn't bend as easily as the original slip-ons which causes the issue. Maybe they'll work for larger sizes since they might flex better, but sadly it was a no-go for me.... Show more
