I have narrow feet, so the narrowness of this fit doesn't bother me so much. I'm typically a 37, and the 6.5 and 7 both fit me fine. I decided to purchase these along with the plain black ones since these are closed toe, and I can wear these to work. They are perfectly comfortable and don't require breaking-in. I can wear these while I drive too, which is an added plus. They go well with just about anything ranging from trousers, sweatpants, joggers, to jeans even. I highly recommend these if you don't own a pair already. I love the other styles that Vans has, but I'm always a sucker for anything I can just "slip on" and go.

Love these! Such a throwback but this is my first time buying them. They’re comfortable and I love the cream leather on the slide. Women size half size down! The 7.5 fit perfectly and I’m normally an 8. So cute!!!!!

I bought the all white ones because they looked cute with so many outfits while browsing pictures online. I originally ordered my size (9) and they did not feel right at all so I returned them and ordered up half a size, but they were not comfortable either. Both felt too tight across the top of my foot. 9.5 slipped a little so I guess 9 with quite a bit of wearing in would be better as far as the heel, but I did not want to chance that the top would eventually be comfortable so returned both pairs. Such a shame. I don't buy wide in any of my shoes at all so do not know why they did not work out.

The online picture is slightly different than the actual color; online it looks peachy, but in person they are more of a tan/nude color. I was so excited to see that Tilly's carries them because Van's does not anymore for some reason. The only weird part about them is that they feel slightly bigger than my other same size slip-ons. Not sure why, but it's not a huge difference.
Purchased these for my daughter for Christmas. The price at Nordstrom was better than Amazon, and the shipping was free. They even arrived a day earlier than they were scheduled to. The shoe is really cute. Looks great with rolled up jeans. Fit is true to size. My daughter is an 8 and the Vans 8 was perfect. Would purchase from Nordstrom online again.
I got the following text from my granddaughter: Hi grandma, i love love love my new shoes. They match with everything and make the outfit really cute. Yesterday i wore them with a light green shirt with ripped jeans and i'm wearing them today with a navy blue shirt with white jeans. Now i'm heading to dance and i'm wearing them with white shorts, super cute Thank you so much love you.
This is my second pair of the Vans classic slip-ons. They’re easy to get on and off yet don’t rub up and down against my heels when I walk. I prefer to wear them with socks although they can easily be worn without. They’ve become my daily go-to shoe because they’re so comfortable, yet don’t have that “I just came from the gym” look. They look great with boyfriend jeans or leggings.
These are absolutely adorable! I’m normally a 6.5/7 in sneakers and these fit perfect. First time worn they were tight,after that they stretched out a bit. The fit is more comfortable. Love the color (Frappe/White) Lots of compliments, great for a casual day or a night out. These will never go out of style! Want them don’t hesitate.,treat yourself!!
I got these in all white - my second pair ever. Vans are super comfy and super cute. I will say I wore them for an extended amount of time (10 hours) and I have blisters on my big toe, the back of my heel and then pinky toe on both feet... I think this is because they’re wide, so there’s space for your feet to move a little and cause friction. I still love these and think they’ll get better with time like my last pair. They run true to size!
Description recommends sizing down 1/2 a size for women sizes as they apparently run large. I did not find this to be the case. I ordered them in half size smaller than I normally wear and they were way too tight. Had to exchange for my normal size. Cute shoes though and super comfortable
