Customer Reviews Vans Skate Slip-On

I instantly loved these shoes but when I got them they were waaaay too small. Super sad moment. The overall look is good but the sizing is no bueno.

Shoes are made very well but the insoles are way too thick. I could barely get my foot in. Im wearing them without insoles until I purchase a thinner pair.

I love my skate slip ons, they took a REALLY long time to break in, and did irritate and even damaged my heels. I'm writing this 4 months post purchase. But once they broke in they were fine. I really do prefer the older soft ankle/sock liner that the Slip On Pros had when compared to the skate slip ons. This is a change I noticed that's also on the Skate Old Skools, where the Old Skool Pros had a softer liner around the ankles and heels. Other than this though, I do like all the additional changes such as the support inside the heel between the outside and midsole, it makes skating in them easier. PLEASE BRING BACK THE SOFT SOCK/ANKLE LINING THAT WAS ON THE PROS!!! THAT WOULD MAKE THIS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!! IF YOU KEPT IT ON THE SK8-HI, WHY NOT THESE AND THE SKATE OLD SKOOLS!?!?!

I like the color combination, however, I assumed the leather would be like the leather on the classic VANS, and not suede. I don't really like the smooth leather look on these, but they may grow on me.

I would enjoy wearing these shoes

I love vans, but they changed the design and i hate them. The leather around the ankle colar doesnt allow the shoe to breathe, the tounge is too tight too

Make a slip-on that skates better than the Janoski slip-on and I will never buy another shoe again. Notes to the designers: * The Slimmer outsole, sleeker shape around the ankle, and overall fit are much better than the Slip-on Pros (Which I can easily fling off my foot into a nearby tree they get so loose). * Heel to toe drop feels just a hair too high. Might be great for running shoes but not so much skateboarding. * Heel is a bit too squishy and unstable. Input to my board gets lost in the insole (can't feel my board). Feels like I have to balance inside my shoe slightly and my skateboard all at once. Tried switching out insole with a bunch of other ones but didn't pair well with the higher heel counter and had just way too much board feel. -impact protection is cool, but energy return and control is also. * Please wear them in Florida without socks for a few days. It's almost as hot and sweaty as wearing plastic bags for socks, not so much the Janoskis. * Inside material is not very forgiving without socks, top of the toes gets sanded off and the heel too sometimes.

Vans are pretty much the only shoes I wear aside from sandals and boots occasionally. I know that Vans can be pretty uncomfortable shoes but these are the most uncomfortable shoes I've worn in my entire life counting the time I wore heals for 6 hours straight and I could barely walk after. I wore these shoes for two hours at my college classes and walked for maybe 15 minutes and had cuts all over the back of my ankles. These shoes are the perfect fit they aren't snug and I've been wearing vans for almost 10 years but these shoes are ridiculously painful. I have to wear bandages on the backs of my ankles anytime I want to wear these. I love Vans but shoes make for skating shouldn't cut your feet walking around I can't imagine how bad they would hurt if I skated in them. I'll stick to my slip ons for now.

I'm just loving Vans! The price, durability, fit and minimalistic aspect is of it but hey I know I bought it on sale but why are stitches incomplete?

I have 3 other pairs of Vans Asher Slip Ons in size 7 1/2 that I love. All fit comfortably. Ordered these in 7 1/2 and they were too small/too tight and they killed my feet. Spent 2 days walking around the house in them hoping they'd stretch out or feel better but they never did. Better off ordering these in a size up. I've returned them and I'm waiting for Vans to issue credit. Have since seen suede slip ons that I like and will order.

So cute. But size is a little small

I love van shoes, but the skate high tops run a little small. I normally wear a 13, but need a 14 in theses because it hurts my toes, I wish I could just exchange for my size but you have to do another purchase and then wait for a refund.

I think they were great except that they are hard to put on and after a while they started rubbing against my heel. I used them to bike and scooter.

The fit on these are not how it used to be. Seems to be much smaller and material appears different. Disappointed with the shoe overall because of how great it used to be.

Took a couple times of wearing before tightness on the sides stopped which was causing pain.

Not the best shoes I've bought recently. I buy vans very often this is the first time they've been a disappointment.

Bought shoes for school. Found same pair at local sports store for $25 cheaper than I paid ordering directly from manufacturer.

I purchased a pair of Vans slip ons in a size 11 Women's/9.5 Men's and they fit great and had a lot of cushion so when I needed a new pair I ordered these and they were too tight and more narrow. I'm not sure why they changed them, but if you're considering buying these and you have bigger or slightly bigger feet, maybe try a size up. I returned them and got a different style.

Like the other reviews, the shoes tear up the back of your heel. I bought a foot petal pair that seems to have greatly helped with that though. The shoes are tight in the toes as well, but hopefully that breaks in. If it wasn't for the heel issue, the stars would be way higher.

I was very fond of the "pro" line but this is my first pair of slip-ons after they've apparently switched to just "skateboarding" branding. Size Up! You're more than likely gonna need to go up a size on these cause cause all the cushioning and extra material makes these a real crowded fit. These shoes are very, very comfy and very durable in my experience. My 3 star rating comes from the design flaw of the heel. The heels on these things bite! They dig into your skin and never seem to finally break in and stop. Definitely never used to be an issue for me in the Pros. Be warned! The heel digs in.

I bought for myself and my husband, I also bought a different pair in the same size. The other color fit as the ones I have purchased in the past, these were a size too small. I shipped them back with the return label and my return hasn't been processed to reorder the correct size. Still waiting for return to be processed 3 weeks later. Sheesh....

I love Vans, and all the ones I've gotten for myself and family have been great, except this one. After one wear the back of my heals, (both of them) were rubbed so raw they bled. I even tried to do the bandaid thing, but didn't work. The spot where the two seams meet at the back of the shoe is where they rub. That seam on each shoe is raised and bumpy. So, unfortunately the shoes r being returned.

Been wearing vans for over 20 years sizing has never been an real issue also never really felt the need to get the pros but guess with age things change. Went looking for pros and found that they were "upgraded" to the skate line and ordered same shoe size as always and could not wear shoes for more than 30mins. Just like other reviews say...shoes are narrower than regular classic vans. After a few days of debating whether to return shoes or not decided to order a shoe stretcher and tried it out for a few days so shoes stretch could set and they turned out great. Now shoes are broken in perfect and I can wear shoes all day without feeling like my feet are in a vice lol.

In terms of design, 10/10, totally cool. In terms of comfort, 3/10. I couldn't wear for more than an hour, they were EXTREMELY uncomfortable and tight in spite of me buying the size I normally wear in this style. Debating on keeping, as I love Silverchair, or just selling on Poshmark

I love Vans styling, these are no exception, but subtle design issue at top of heel curves inward at top of back of shoe and is more pointed and goes up higher on back of ankle, compared to different new Vans shoe of same size. Developed blisters over Achilles' tendon area first time I wore them. No Bueno
