Vans Unisex Adults Classic Slip-on Checkerboard Trainers

Great shoes, but make sure you get the correct size US/UK. I had a bit of trouble with this, but in the end it worked out for the best because I recalled that some years ago I bought a UK size 9 - which fit perfectly - only to find that I was unable to fit an athletic insole into them because it made them too tight - and they don't have any laces to loosen. Putting an insole into these Vans makes them REALLY comfortable - effectively doubling the amount of cushioning for your feet - and you can fit insoles with arch supports if you want. Remember that Vans - like Converse - are totally flat inside - there are no arch supports. This is OK for some things - like riding a skateboard or playing the drums - but not others. If you walk any appreciable distance in them, your feet will kill! This goes for any Vans - or Converse for that matter.For this reason, I would suggest going for half a size larger in this particular model and fitting a supportive insole.

My son has scoliosis and has to wear a brace to support his spine and back, as a result he finds putting on shoes with laces a real challenge.He already has a pair of Van's lace up trainers which he loves to wear but he asked if he could have these chequered slip on shoes for Christmas.He loves them and has worn them almost everyday since Christmas day, he finds them very comfortable and easy to get on without the need to bend forward too far.They look great on him and being Vans they are of excellent quality and I know will last him a while, though keeping them clean may be challenging.

I recently bought these as I have worn out my other Vans shoes, and these were excellent. Original Vans, and they came one day earlier than quoted. When I've previously worked at Royal Mail I've seen shoe boxes come in, in just the shoe box, and they can get all crushed and everything, so I was a bit on edge, and weary about buying these shoes online. However they were £60.00 in store and I got them for £30.58 so I thought I'd risk it, they came packaged in a Vans shoe box, in another bigger box which was good. I love Vans as a shoe, they are amazing and these do not disappoint. Amazing fit, amazing quality.Would recommend these to anyone who is looking for great shoes at a great price.

A simple functional slip on, in plain black, reasonably comfertable.They have a thickened bar around the top edge of the ankle fitting which is better for narrow ankles, but it is a small bar and the thickening quickly softens up to accomodate the ankle.The stretch around the edges of the top panel are quite good.The sole is a resin coloured markless sole, although the black edges of the sole that hide the resin coloured section, can leave marks on the floor of scrapped along it during rapid motion.Sizes were well sized comparitive to other shoes.All in all a good functional slip on that worked for what I wanted it for, and shows no signs of wear and tear after about a week of use.

I buy a pair of Vans slip-on shoes every year for my husband’s birthday or Xmas pressy. He loves them and finds them very comfortable. Sizing wise he is an 11 and they fit really well. He wears them every day so they are high usage, but the quality is excellent. He likes a variety of colours/patterns which Van provide!

You'll not find these anywhere cheaper than on Amazon; just make sure you know your size as it was a bit of a gamble for me as I'd never tried any in store - I was lucky though.Great looking shoe (grey/black checks) and easy to put on and off.I've seen other comments about them hurting when first buying and this is too true, I had painful blisters but totally worth it. Try wearing your thickest socks the first few times you use them.

Bought these as a present for my boyfriend as i had a similar pair and he absolutely loves them. Has many different types of Vans shoes but says these are by far the comfiest pair that he has and they have kept together so well! Love the fact there are so many different styles and colours and am tempted to buy him another pair in a different colour!

I had previosuly seen this shoe in a shop but wasn't willing to pay £55, then I checked on Amazon and saw them for £28, so I just had to buy them! At first I was a bit reluctant as I wasn't certain that they'd be genuine Vans, but they are! They are absolutely amazing. I am also VERY impressed with the delivery as they only took three days to come and the postage was free. Furthermore, Amazon rewarded me with a £2 voucher after purchasing this item. I recommend Amazon to everyone, I am so so pleased with my item!
