Dumb guy asking slip on vans sizing question
I’ve been out of the slip on vans game since they changed their sizing up a ton (so like 8 years ago). I got some new ones recently, and unlike other vans I’ve tried, these are leather. There’s a lot of conflicting info about how these should fit online, but some say they should be really tight out of the box, but this might be only for their canvas shoes? I find these to not be super tight, and there’s minimal heel slip if any when walking. I attached a picture of where my big toe ends if that helps.
Sorry this is an annoying question but I have fit anxiety esp with shoes.

Hi @max! For better answers, include:
- Reference pictures
- Budget in numbers
- Specific measurements
- Openness to buying secondhand and/or online
- Location: country/continent is fine
- Timing/urgency
Are they comfy?
yeah but im coping these shits are too loose. guess im part of the minority who needs to size down on these
idk. if you don't have heel slip sounds like they fit
sounds like they fit
theres maybe 1/4" of heel slip after wearing them for a min. and if i curl my toe while standing i can slip em off
not that i do that v often
Sneakers can fit closer than "traditional" leather shoes because of their construction
A rule of thumb is the widest part of your foot should line up with the widest part of the shoe
Forefoot area
At the same time you need to balance it out with the fact a bit of heel sleep with laceless / slip ons is normal
