I'll take a look at that brand as well. Suddenly so many options!<br /> Thanks Jane...point noted about the loop thingey on the back...I did wonder about that. I really like those light ones you're thinking of getting. In fact I loved lots of the Geox shoes that I saw when I was browsing. If they work out for me I may get tempted by more! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vans-slip-onssuitable-for-shallow-low-volume-feet#post-1677466 Sat, 11 Jun 2016 00:28:10 +0000 Jane 1677466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done Di. Lovely to have a couple of options. </p> <p>My black lace up geox have been great. I've got my eye on this lighter pair which is a testament to how well the black ones have been. </p> <p>(My only word of warning is if yours have a ribbon hoop on the heel, I think it is for appearance only and i wouldn't use it to help pull on the shoe.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vans-slip-onssuitable-for-shallow-low-volume-feet#post-1677305 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 20:30:11 +0000 Keix 1677305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pair you found is beautiful, so I hope they work out. But I too have low-volume feet with narrow heels (albeit a medium-width forefoot) and I really like a pair of slip-ons I bought earlier this year from Nordstrom. The brand is "JSlides" which I hadn't heard of before, but they're great quality (leather upper AND lining, although the website description now shows a different colorway and claims otherwise). I took the smaller of my two sizes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vans-slip-onssuitable-for-shallow-low-volume-feet#post-1677270 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 19:04:11 +0000 Anonymous 1677270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I drew a blank looking for the Gabor styles, but I struck lucky with Geox and these beauties are on their way to me too! All the Geox slip- ons look very slim so here's hoping! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vans-slip-onssuitable-for-shallow-low-volume-feet#post-1677253 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 18:19:32 +0000 Anonymous 1677253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You ladies are the best! Thanks Isabelle and Jane! I looked at your links Isabelle, and I looked at Geox too Jane....Suddenly I'm spoiled for choice!!! Hope the credit card can stand it!</p> <p>Thanks Una too! Looks like the Vans will be a bust from what you and Angie say...I'll forget about that brand.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vans-slip-onssuitable-for-shallow-low-volume-feet#post-1677245 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 18:02:48 +0000 Jane 1677245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Di, it may be worth having a look at Geox? The Dune ones do look lovely - fingers crossed for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vans-slip-onssuitable-for-shallow-low-volume-feet#post-1677244 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 17:58:43 +0000 catgirl 1677244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree Vans best fit high volume feet. That said, the one pair I've gotten gave me horrible blisters.

Had a busy morning and then a headache. All good now though. </p> <p>Thanks so much for all the extra suggestions ladies. Some of the brands you all mentioned are available over here so I can do some digging around on the old interwebs. </p> <p>In the mean time I had ordered some 'Ted and Muffy' sneakers last week which came and although gorgeous (and expensive) they were too deep and wide, so I feel like I was wearing the shoes boxes not the shoes, lol!

My feet are low volume. They are super comfortable and stay on well. The only caveat is that the sole pading is a little thin so I aded some insoles I got at the drugstore.&nbsp; Don't know if the Naturalizer brand is available in the UK... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vans-slip-onssuitable-for-shallow-low-volume-feet#post-1676624 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 20:13:17 +0000 MTBGirl 1676624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diane I do think my feet are low volume. They're not very fleshy (bony) and I can't wear shoes like a d'orsay flat - I walk right out of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vans-slip-onssuitable-for-shallow-low-volume-feet#post-1676563 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 18:02:13 +0000 Suz 1676563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diane, my feet are probably medium to low volume...very narrow heel and narrow instep but wider at forefoot and a higher arch.&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyway -- after trying on what felt like hundreds of slip ons and failing to keep them on, I got these Steve Maddens and sized DOWN a half size from my usual smallest size so they would stay on. It works because my toes are short but it would not work otherwise.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also have these Eccos and they work a charm. Sort of like slip ons in feel and look. You can tighten or loosen the toggle for fit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vans-slip-onssuitable-for-shallow-low-volume-feet#post-1676558 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 17:57:01 +0000 Anonymous 1676558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the suggestions ladies. I will have a peruse. I already have a pair of Tamaris snake patterned ones and they are a reasonable fit. I do need an insole in them though. I'm after light grey or silvery tone.</p> <p>Aida, I had set my heart on non lace up ones really, but thank you.</p> <p>Thanks Viva. I'll look at Sam Edelman.</p> <p>Yes, Donna, that's the style I've looked at. So would you describe your feet as low volume?</p> <p>Thanks UmmLila. Those look good, but maybe a tad too high in the vamp to what I'm after.</p> <p>I appreciate the help everyone. I'm not going to beat myself up over trying to get a pair, but I'll keep my eyes and ears open.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vans-slip-onssuitable-for-shallow-low-volume-feet#post-1676500 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 16:32:41 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1676500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have low volume feet that are narrow at the heel. Can't do Vans. Even the Sam Edelman slip ons were too wide.</p> <p>I have these &lt;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.adidas.com/us/superstar-slip-on-shoes/S81338.html?pr=oos_rr&amp;slot=1">http://www.adidas.com/us/super.....038;slot=1</a>&gt; in olive green. They are comfortable, get lots of compliments and stay on fine for walking but I inadvertently wore them to TRX exercise class today and they didn't stay on in more vigorous moves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vans-slip-onssuitable-for-shallow-low-volume-feet#post-1676493 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 16:23:07 +0000 MTBGirl 1676493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The only &nbsp;vans I can wear are the classic style like this find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vans-slip-onssuitable-for-shallow-low-volume-feet#post-1676478 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 15:38:43 +0000 viva 1676478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diane, I have shallow, low volume feet and the Sam Edelman slipons worked really well for me last year.

That's my experience over and over again. </p> <p>The only slip-ons that have come close are these from Clarks, and they are STILL too wide for me. But insoles do help. </p> <p>So my version of slip-on sneaks are these perforated oxfords that I got in John Lewis in London last year. HEAVELY comfortable and beautiful quality. Isabelle went and got a pair too.  </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vans-slip-onssuitable-for-shallow-low-volume-feet#post-1676295 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 10:33:00 +0000 Anonymous 1676295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi ladies, I'm still looking for a light grey slip on sneaker. Any Vans owners amongst you? Would they suit a low volume narrow, heeled, shallow foot?</p> <p>TIA!</p>
