I regret purchasing the Skate Checkered Slip-Ons.
I have worn Vans Checkered Slip-Ons since I was 14 years old, purchasing at my local skate shop. When they got beaten down, I'd purchase a new pair.
I'm now 40 and decided to upgrade to the Skate Slip-Ons. I figured the extra padding would make them even more comfortable. Purchased them in the same size I've always been online and I'm now 3 months in and they are as stiff as can be. They are tight and still hurt my feet.
