Wearing the Vans Classic Slip-On Shoe for men is practically an American right-of-passage. But if you're among the uninitiated, the Classic is one of the comfiest slip-ons around, and has been enjoyed by generations of skaters, hipsters, and general non-conformist conformists for their low-maintenance style, ease of entry and flashy uppers. Grab some and learn (first-foot) what it means to slip into something more comfortable.

Classic Slip-On Sneakers - COLOR THEORY CHECKER / 7

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.

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!

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.

I bought these shoes for my Vans-loving son. He usually gets them in the black on black, but he saw the royal blue ones and really liked them. The fact that they were on sale was a huge bonus. I probably wouldn't have bought them if they weren't. The quality seems really good and the fit seems true. And they come in such a wide range of colors. He kept going between the royal blue and black on black ones, which he has worn to shreds! He loves them and we will definitely buy them again!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
These stackforms are more narrow than my old vans. I have been a size 9 in vans for 35 years and my slip ons have always fit perfectly. I bought a size 9 in the stackforms and they were so narrow I had blisters! I've NEVER had blisters from a pair of vans, ever. So I threw them away (which broke my heart) and went back to the store and tried on a 9.5 and a 10. They are too big for me, but I went with the 9.5 so I don't get blisters again. The girl at the store told me she's been hearing that the new vans are coming out more narrow than before and that I needed to size up. I've had these new stackforms in a larger size for three days and I am already developing major calluses and my toes are sore. I held the new vans up against my old vans and they are most certainly ... MoreThese stackforms are more narrow than my old vans.

I've never worn anything but vans for decades but these new shoes just do not fit me. I mean, this is kinda devastating for me. I hope this is not a new trend, and if it is...I hope they offer a wider version. I literally do not know what I am going to do without Vans!
