Question: are vans slip ons supposed to be tight?
Answer: Some Vans styles can waver a bit from true-to-size. For instance, Slip-ons fit tighter at first but will loosen out with wear. In addition, high performance skate shoes tend to fit snugly. ... Say you go to try on a pair of Van's slip-ons but it turns out that an 8.5 is too small and a 9 is too big.
