You know, to be honest, what I'd do is buy several pairs of the first two. I love slip-ons and wear them a lot, esp. to walk the dog around the neighborhood. So I really go through them. I wouldn't want to be spending $225 every month or so on sneakers... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-of-these-different-black-sneakers#post-1300244 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 06:05:38 +0000 Astrid 1300244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know about these specific Vans, but I had different ones as a teen and always liked them. I think they look great, I like them better than the SE Cruz plus they're leather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-of-these-different-black-sneakers#post-1299944 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 23:04:58 +0000 jackiec 1299944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GAH love those on JayS! I love the thicker sole look myself. I am staying away; my dollars need to go elsewhere....but sounds like a good price - better at least! Good luck </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-of-these-different-black-sneakers#post-1299885 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 21:50:28 +0000 viva 1299885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JayS, they look so great! You got a great deal. I may wait on this for a week and then see about getting the suede Vince ones from NAS, depending on what else is tempting me. Thanks for the pics - so helpful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-of-these-different-black-sneakers#post-1299879 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 21:42:25 +0000 JayS 1299879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just checked the box...they are the Vince Blair.&nbsp;I would call the sizing TTS. I usually wear a 7.5. If it runs small at all I take an 8. The 7.5 fits perfectly. I don't mind the thick sole at all..I think it adds a little edge. And did I mention that they are comfortable? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-of-these-different-black-sneakers#post-1299860 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 21:13:22 +0000 Ingunn 1299860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are all great, so take your pick in confidence! I have a soft spot for the Vince ones, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-of-these-different-black-sneakers#post-1299854 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 21:05:11 +0000 viva 1299854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JayS -- how was the sizing? And how do you feel about the sole -- does it feel/look really thick? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-of-these-different-black-sneakers#post-1299847 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 20:52:55 +0000 JayS 1299847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just bought some black&nbsp;leather Vince slipons (think they're exactly the same as the suede..just leather) at Saks Off 5th. With the 50% they ran around $125. They are amazingly comfortable. Saks also had them in a pale grey. Had a lot of both in stock. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-of-these-different-black-sneakers#post-1299665 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 17:38:02 +0000 Astrid 1299665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #4, but I think this is a crazy price for slip on sneakers, even if they are leather... But if you think you would get more use out of them then say #1 or #2 then get them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-of-these-different-black-sneakers#post-1299607 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 16:28:54 +0000 kkards 1299607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love the Tory's &amp; the Aerin Marsdens. i have mixed feelings about the vince's. i saw the black cherry on line this morning, and i'm intrigued with the color, but not so sure about the huge white sole. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-of-these-different-black-sneakers#post-1299601 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 16:21:04 +0000 viva 1299601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Pastrygirl! I appreciate the help. And Joy, I think you are right about the extra $$. Plus, I prefer leather. Might just have to try them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-of-these-different-black-sneakers#post-1299599 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 16:19:57 +0000 annagybe 1299599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Vince ones are $150 in NAS.

They are not included in NAS as of right now. I'm not sure if they add more things later on? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-of-these-different-black-sneakers#post-1299546 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 15:31:00 +0000 viva 1299546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am really leaning that way too. Any way to check if the Marsdens are in the NAS? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-of-these-different-black-sneakers#post-1299545 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 15:30:23 +0000 carambola 1299545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Exactly what Adelfa said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-of-these-different-black-sneakers#post-1299534 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 15:12:17 +0000 Adelfa 1299534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are all great. But I love the Aerin Marsdens. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-of-these-different-black-sneakers#post-1299530 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 15:08:56 +0000 viva 1299530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I said never, and now I am a convert. I love the look and feel of slip on sneakers. </p> <p>I'd really like a pair of black slip-ons, and I am open to something interesting as long as the color/pattern is neutral -- no brights. I'd really like leather. I love how Anna wears her slipons with little black socks, which I would like to try (I've been wearing mine sockless, but I think the socks will give these shoes longevity into the fall.) I could see them with jeans, ankle pants, and the rare skirts / dresses that I put on. I really believe I could get a ton of wear out of the right pair. </p> <p>Opinions of these?</p> <p>1. Sam Edelman Cruz Reptile print: upside is cost ($30) but they are synthetic<br />2. SE Cruz black: again cost ($30 on sale) -- upper says leather panel (?) over canvas, not sure I love the white gusset<br />3. Tory Burch: upside is style (leather dotted upper) but $165<br />4. Aerin Marsden: upside is style (leather laser cut and lace-like, interesting) but $188<br />5. Vince Blair 3: upside is style (suede) but $225 (but lower on NAS, according to Anna)</p> <p>ETA: With all the NAS talk, I'm hesitant to spend on the Marsdens -- want to have some funds available. And the all-black SE Cruz are no longer available. Any thoughts / experience with VANS Torinos? See the Find below. They are leather and $70, currently the front-runner. But basic black.</p>
