“They run very small. Size up!!” The Skate Slip-on delivers a very narrow fit that disappointed most of its verified buyers. Many got the wrong size and experienced discomfort and heel bites. Consider sizing up to avoid rubbing motion that happens and causes blisters.
Comfort meets durability after some breaking in
Skate Slip-on features fully redesigned uppers that make it durable enough to withstand daily skateboarding. Most skaters and causal wearers attested to the shoe’s durability by leaving impressions that say:
- “Durability is HYPED!”,
- “The flick on these is unreal and durable,” and
- “Tuff/durable and going to last!”
But there’s a downside. Some people commented that the upper is stiff and “hard to get on the first few times.” It takes some break-in time until you completely enjoy comfort and durability simultaneously.
Dress up and down with the Vans Skate Slip-on
“Vans skate styles are fire!” Inspired by the Vans Slip-on style, many were happy that this sneaker is versatile and has a chic style that easily matches everything in their closets.
“Definitely an eye-catcher in high tops,” one verified buyer commented. Some got this pair for their everyday go-to shoe and paired it with casual outfits like casual jeans, shorts, dresses, and skirts. Some also wore it at work with blazers achieving a casual business look.
Cushioning is great but not for all
Many are impressed with the superior cushioning and impact protection offered by the PopCush sockliner of the Vans Skate Slip-on. One described its satisfaction by saying, “PopCush changes the game,” and another person also said that the cushion in these “makes a world of a difference!”
Although it provides more comfort, some verified buyers find this shoe a bit “odd to walk in.” As described by some, the footbed “adds to the fact that everything is now too tight.” To resolve the issue, casual wearers had to remove it for a pain-free fit.

For some who were not impressed by the PopCush feature, they are happy that this sneaker allows them to customize their orthotics. Some have removed the footbed for a better fit and some also replaced it with thinner ones.

Support is not a problem with Skate Slip-on
“I feel like I am walking in a foam,” a buyer commented after being pleased with the sneaker’s support. Skaters, even casual wearers, are delighted that the Vans Skate Slip-on has more structure and support.
Vans Slip-on VS Vans Skate Slip-on
The Vans Skate Slip-on is a redesigned Vans Slip-on for modern skateboarding. It has maintained the Slip-on’s silhouette while skateboarding technologies are being reinforced.
Firstly, DURACAP™ reinforced underlays and fully redesigned uppers are repositioned to the classics, which increases durability, protection, locked-in fit, and board control. Next, a POPCUSH™ energy return sock liner makes for more cushioning and impact protection. And lastly, the Slip-on’s gum rubber outsole is upgraded to SICKSTICK™ rubber compound which delivers more grip and board feel. With these, people are able to skate and dress in style.
