Super cute and comfy! The only thing is they are men sizing although they do say women, I had to exchange my shoes twice because of this issue.

There’s not a vans logo on the lip. And the stitching is coming apart on the corners by the top of the laces. These look fake compared to the ones I have. I will be returning them. You need to have someone on quality control duty. This is crazy.

In love!!!

I initially ordered these in my usual sneaker size, 8. When I got them, they seemed a bit big. I immediately placed an order for a size 7.5 and they fit perfect. They're super comfy and I'm in love. Can't wait to rock them!!!

Great casual tennis shoe

These shoes are great with jeans and a tee! I own a few pairs of vans and these are my favorite! They are comfortable after the first wear to break them in. Order your normal women's shoe size these are not men's sizing like some of the other vans are.

Comfort for wider feet

I buy sizes 7.5 to 8 shoes, I am a bit wide. These I got in a 7.5 & they fit perfectly! I'm including a pic with a narrower shoe to show that right at the seam there is width. It's right where I need the room. The sueded makes these look more expensive. Quite stiff at first, it's going to take a few at home wears to break in. Super happy with the Marshmallow/White combo.

Love them!

Classic, cute, and comfortable. They fit true to size and are accommodating for wide feet. These shoes last a long time and clean pretty well too.
