I absolutely love these shoes, skate in them as often as can! I was pretty bummed out though, after having them about a month I went to tighten the laces and they completely ripped through the fabric of one of the upper eyelets. Aside from that, I love these shoes a ton and will likely buy more in the future.

I love them. I bought the black ones and they are comfortable for daily wear. I ended up ordering them in another color!

They came today. Already feel great. Only got it on one foot Cuz well the other one is healing from a fracture. Just a few more weeks I til I'm back on the Board. Cant wait to try these on vert. I'm sure I won't be disappointed. I do feel an odd little pressure on the top of the big toe but I think they will break in and that should go away.

You've heard of a daily driver for cars right? This is my new daily driver for foot wear. Excellent shoe I really liked the fit to be honest heard that some people were having issues with it but i have a wide foot and found myself really enjoying it. Very impressed by the style and comfort friends are jealous.

TL;DR
I wear a size 10.5 in mens in most shoes, size 10 in chuck Taylors.
The Lizzies fit me perfectly.
The foot shape is different, which was a good thing for me. I've heard people say that the toe box is too slim / as narrow as a pair of nike blazers... I own 2 pairs of blazers and that is simply not true. While they do seem more narrow than most other vans, I would compare them more to Chuck Taylor's than Blazers.
Anyhow, they're great and I love them. Small break in period. But very comfortable.
Long version:
I wore Vans through all of my life since high school until about 3 years ago.
I have always loved the way vans look, and I appreciate what the company does and has done for my two favorite things, music and skateboarding.
However, something about the shape of the shoes always rubbed my pinky toe raw. I just dealt with the pain, and the giant calluses on my toes. (I wore Sk8 Hi's in classic and pro versions, and era's specifically. No matter the shoe, they gave my pinky toe's blisters.)
But about 3 years ago I randomly bought a pair of chucks, and after wearing them for a week straight, and putting a pair of Sk8 Hi's back on, I realized how uncomfortable vans really were for me.
So I switched exclusively to Chucky t's.
However, I've always missed my vans.
When I heard about the Lizzie having a different foot shape, and saw how great they looked, I had to give them a shot.
Could not be happier! They fit me great and don't rub my pinky toe raw.
Additionally, they look amazing IMO and are very comfortable. I don't skateboard myself anymore, but I can stand / walk around in them for hours with no discomfort. They do take a bit of a breaking in period. I've been wearing them for 3.5 weeks straight, and the picture was taken today, so they've held up well.
I have ordered two pairs in case vans discontinues them... that's how much I like them. But please don't. I love em.

I listened to the reviews and ordered half a size up but they are too big. Definitely try them on in store if you can. Otherwise a really cute, comfortable shoe that I hope will be back in stock in my actual size soon.

I bought the Marshmallow color way. The shoes fit right to your feet and don't need much breaking in. Great for skating. Lizzie definitely nailed it

I've been wanting some high tops for a while but haven't found a style I liked--until now. The Lizzies look great and my feet feel locked in. I like that the ankle isn't heavily padded since I wanted a sleeker looking high top. As some other reviews noted they do seem to run smaller. I'm normally a 9.0 in Authentics but the 9.5 Lizzie is great. I hope Vans keeps making these and releases more colors in the future!

Super comfortable, super cute. I like that they're a little water resistant. But definitely go half a size up.

I use them almost everyday. They're surprisingly comfortable. They felt broken into. But I did have to 1/2 size up.

This is my new favorite style of Vans!
I never purchased hi-top Vans before bc I wasn't really into the thicker upper part.
The Lizzie has a sleeker design.
The shoe is a little more narrow than some of the classic Vans styles but they fit so comfortably.
The shoe fits true to size just make sure you loosen them up enough! The little flaps on the back (where Lizzie Armanto's name is hidden) work as a shoe horn and a tab to pull the shoe on with!
They have this broken in feel to them yet will form to your foot still.
They are cute, stylish, comfy and I just can't take them off!
Also much love for Lizzie Armanto, she is so cool and I love the shoe she created!!
I hope this design sticks around forever bc much like my checkerboard slip-ons I will be replacing these as soon as I wear a hole through the sole!
Highly recommend The Lizzie!

I'm super bummed that you don't have these in children's sizes. My daughter's skate and they would love to have these. Definitely release them in girls sizes so that little girls can get them. Thanks!!

Ordered my usual size and was worried when I first slipped them on. They felt tight. Tried them with thinner socks and voila! Much better. I don't mind having to wear thinner socks with these. My feet are on the wider side with high arches and insteps. I thought I would have to break them in but wore them the entire day the first day and they stayed super comfy. LOVE the way these look, the bottoms are SO grippy and I love the hidden little Easter egg too. Very quickly became my new favorite.

I love these shoes so hard, I have worn them every day since they arrived. They look great with everything and the marshmallow color is the perfect shade to not feel worried about getting them dirty. They are so comfortable and I had no issues with size (true to size for me). Please keep making these < 3

So far, I love the shoes. I haven't stopped getting compliments. My only issue is for some reason I got two left insoles in the shoes. No right foot. I've thrown some other insoles from other shoes in there for temporary use.

Vans ain't what they used to be. These have less toe-room than other Vans 11's for some reason. Still pretty cool, but the quality is waning.

I've always been a size 8 in all Vans shoes but this is the first pair that runs small. I had to loosen the shoelaces so much that I couldn't even double knot my laces. I tried walking in them in my house but eventually got pain on the side of my foot. My feet are wide. 8.5 will probably fit perfectly. Otherwise the shoes seem sturdy and are really cute.

The Tortoise print is gorgeous. I'm not too pleased about the suede material on the top of the foot part of the shoes. It looks like suede that's been saturated with liquid that hasn't dried and it appears different than the suede on the other parts of the shoes. Shoes had no paper inside then to keep the shape and there were a few dye stains on the white parts but I can remove those with a gentle cleanser. The fit is true to size, nice width, and lightweight. I love that the shoestring ends and first 2 shoestring holes have Tortoise detail. I recommend seeing them in store before purchasing.

I read the reviews and read this shoe runs narrow. I still bought them anyways because the flowers are super cute! In time, they will break in

It fits small in the front and it's squeaky. Looks nice and after a week it got better. If you don't mind the first week, go for it, otherwise this will bother you.

I felt these shoes were well made but unfortunately aren't a true unisex shoe. They were far too narrow (Men's size 11) so I had to return them.
