Slip-On Sneakers Vans Alternatives
Hey everyone!
I have wide feet and a high instep. This means I cannot fit into Vans Slip-Ons at all. Since wides are only available for customs (no returns!) I’m looking for an alternative.
Anyone have any recommendations? I’d prefer white/off white.

Right. I’m in EU. The store isn’t as well stocked over here.
In Europe the wides are only available as a custom option.
ah ok my bad
Nah, I should’ve mentioned that.
Could Stepney Workers Club work? They're a UK based brand so you might be able to find a local stockist you could try 'em out at.

The SWC Lister silhouette is our take on the perfect Slip-On. It is constructed using our traditional vulcanisation methods and made with our iconic high-wall foxings. It also features cushioned flexible sole and siped tread making it a versatile and reliable staple for any wardrobe.
I love mine and will definitely replace my pair when they're due to be retired
Yeah these seem good! I’ll check if I can find a stockist with my size.
how cushioned are these compared to vans?
I did end up trying them. They’re pretty heavy, don’t have more room, but they’re on par with vans comfycush I’d say.
+1 to what Holfram said. What you get for the extra money over Vans slip ons are a more rigid, durable sole and a thicker canvas.
