VansMen's Mn Asher Sneaker, Black Canvas Black B, 11 UK

I recently got my hands on the Vans Men’s Asher Sneaker in the iconic checkerboard pattern, and they have quickly become a staple in my footwear collection. These slip-on sneakers perfectly embody the classic Vans style with a modern twist, offering both comfort and flair.First and foremost, the design is eye-catching. The checkerboard pattern is a timeless look that never goes out of style. It pairs well with a variety of outfits, from casual jeans and t-shirts to more edgy, streetwear-inspired looks. The canvas upper is durable and easy to clean, maintaining its vibrant look even after repeated wear.Comfort-wise, these sneakers do not disappoint. The padded collar and elastic side accents ensure a snug fit without any pinching or discomfort. The cushioned footbed provides ample support for all-day wear, which is a pleasant surprise for slip-on sneakers. The rubber outsole offers good traction and grip, making these shoes practical for everyday use.One of the standout features is the ease of wearing them. The slip-on design means no hassle with laces, making them perfect for quick, on-the-go moments. Despite being slip-ons, they stay securely on your feet without slipping off, thanks to the well-designed elastic sides.Sizing is true to size, so you can confidently order your usual size without worrying about a poor fit. I also appreciate that they didn’t require a break-in period; they were comfortable from the first wear.Overall, the Vans Men’s Asher Sneaker in checkerboard is a fantastic blend of style and practicality. Whether you’re a long-time Vans fan or new to the brand, these sneakers are a great addition to any wardrobe. They’re stylish, comfortable, and versatile—perfect for anyone looking to add a classic yet trendy touch to their footwear collection.

I oscillate between wearing Converse-style sneakers and Vans slip ons, and these are probably my fave. Super comfy, great support, reasonably hard wearing (I wore these on a 3 week holiday with a high amount of walking - approx 15-20k steps most days - and had no blisters and the shoes are still holding up great). Will most likely buy again in the future once these wear out.

I'm a woman and my feet are a bit wide and shaped like men's, so in general, I just have a hard time wearing shoes and getting blisters ALL THE TIME, especially since I go skateboarding and hiking/exploring. I will say that these are an exception and they fit my feet so well and are so comfy with good quality as expected with Vans. For the price, I understand you're paying for quality and the brand name and it's a similar price to my other shoes which are black sneakers from Element.Uh... if you're using these as skate shoes or just an energetic lifestyle - it'll probably take a while to break in unless you're really rough with activities like these. Apparently, there's a hack of microwaving your shoes for a short period of time or you can just get a foot stretcher and leave them in when you're not wearing them. I will say that they are easy to slip in and for me, it doesn't come off that easily but I cruise around so if you want to do kick-flips - don't. It'll wear the shoes faster than if you wear to buy sneakers or other slip-on with a thicker sole. They are good for running quick errands though if you're just needing a shoe to go outside quickly. I wouldn't recommend it for other fitness activities, but then I don't exercise a lot anymore but can tell you that yes, they are sturdy and provide comfort and space between your bare feet and the ground but they're not flexible. Do with that as you will or whatever the saying is.Since I get blisters almost all the time I wear ANYTHING, these shoes are comfy to great without gel socks or plasters but only for a little while. A few hours is great. Maybe half a day is tolerable. All-day? Well if you're just walking, standing, and sitting, yeah, it would probably be tolerable for all-day wear like working or just chilling somewhere. I almost wear these all the time since they're just so easy and convenient to put on and wear without worrying about it falling off and it fits perfectly fine with blister gel socks (I don't know what they're called, sorry) and thick socks (but not both at the same time because it'll fit too tightly).Also, this is my first time buying Vans as I've usually shopped in Element so I expected good quality with its high price and praise. Honestly, one of my favourite pairs of shoes alongside Element in terms of comfort and simplicity. Even if you're not a very energetic person, these shoes will definitely last for a good time.I don't think they're waterproof, though. If you're touchy about it getting dirty - sorry, I don't have tips on how to clean them lol. Highly recommend it if you're looking for good quality slip-on shoes that are easy and comfortable to wear. Be wary it takes some time to properly fit into them since it's VERY sturdy.Could you buy a pair for a cheaper price? Probably, but you're paying for the brand name and quality so I don't know what else to tell you when their shoes are £50+. Element is no different; I just like them both for their style and quality so I'm willing to buy into their prices. Definitely invest in these if you want to save money or looking for a durable product.

They do half sizes but I ended up going for a size up from my regular. So I fit a Dr martens 8 boot but don't fit the Vans 8.5. 9 was a snug fit too but I think I can wear it in.I have quite wide feet.quality of vans hasn't changed, i buy this trainer every 18 months or so. The last pair died on a beach in Wales. RIPStill my favourite summer lightweight trainer for when it is too hot for anything else and you don't want to wear flip flops.

Like all vans, comfy, well made, only down side of the all black ones is they remind me of old school days with the plimsoles 😂

Vans ! What else can I say...fit perfectly, great look...massive fan

Comfortable as I’m on my feet alot

My husband love it, is stylish and handy

Nice cool

Already fell apart, sole separated from canvas.

En 2 meses ya se descosieron y el resorte del lado derecho se aflojó, solo los uso dentro de casa y no diario por lo que se me hacen de bajísima calidad no los volvería a comprar

I love Vans but I think there is a glitch or something. I’ve ordered White on White checkerboard 3 times. And 3 times I received black and natural checkerboard despite exchanging them and stating exactly that.

Very comfortable. Lightweight. Good floor grip. Size runs true.
