Our take on the Vans Checkerboard Classic Slip-On

The Vans Checkerboard Classic Slip-On is the original lace-free canvas sneaker, recognizable by its black-and-white checkerboard upper. It uses a canvas upper, cotton lining, Ortholite insole and a vulcanized rubber waffle outsole. It suits casual everyday wear, skaters and anyone who wants a low-maintenance shoe that slips on fast. Compared with laced canvas sneakers it is quicker to put on but offers less lockdown, and its flat, thin sole gives less cushioning than modern running-style sneakers.

What reviewers say

4.6 / 526,828 ratings

Questions and answers

Is the Vans Checkerboard Slip-On true to size?: Most owners say it fits true to size for a normal-width foot. If you are between sizes or have a wide foot, try the larger size, since there are no laces to adjust.
Can you skate in the Classic Slip-On?: Yes, it is a skate-style shoe with a vulcanized rubber outsole, but it has less padding and board feel protection than Vans' dedicated skate models. It works best for casual riding.
Does it have arch support?: Support is minimal. The Ortholite insole adds a little cushioning, but the flat sole suits casual wear rather than long walks or standing all day.
How do you clean the checkerboard canvas?: Spot clean the canvas with mild soap and a soft brush, and wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing, which can warp the shape and loosen the side gores.
Is it unisex?: Yes. Vans lists it as unisex and offers it across a wide range of sizes, so men and women order the same sizing.
Where is the Vans Checkerboard Classic Slip-On cheapest?: At Shop Simon, for $46.00, 23% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
What do buyers say about the Vans Checkerboard Classic Slip-On?: Rated 4.6 out of 5 from 26,828 ratings.
Where can I buy the Vans Checkerboard Classic Slip-On?: 18 stores we checked sell it, including Shop Simon, Karmaloop, WSS, Shiekh, Anthropologie.
