Awesome awesome awesome! My son has developmental difficulties and these are the only shoes he\'ll wear. They go on and off in a snap and look wicked cool, too.

These shoes rock! Bought them for my 8 year old on August 2. And they have lasted 5 months! That is a record! The Velcro back entry is so cool and easy to use for him. And they look so cool too. He loves them and I love them. I'm back to get him another pair.

Very cute but wicked hard to put on my 4 year old son's foot. He has a normal width foot, normal instep. It is strange no one else has mentionned this problem. I have to pull the velcro part way back and yank the tongue really hard so that he can even put his foot into the shoe. After doing so, he has to jump up and down and wriggle something awful to get his heel in. We had to buy a second pair of size 11 Chucks, this time with laces. Those were fine to put on. It is just these velcro ones that we have problems with.

Cool looking shoe, concept neat but doesn't work. My 8 year old needed help putting them on every time. The front part of the shoe, where you slip your foot in, had a tendency to fold over along the edge near the side of sole. Hard to correct even when you tried to prevent the folding when putting on. This made for rubbing and discomfort. The velcro never quite made it to the position you see in the picture and it always looked off. Regretfully, I would not recommend these to a friend.

I ordered these for my six year old son thinking that he could put them on by himself and still get the look of a high top. For the first few weeks he needed help getting them on. Eventually he was able to put them on himself. Then he got them wet and they are difficult to put on again. I am ordering the regular Converse slip-ons today.

These are easy to wear and comfortable and go with everything--and they quickly became my son's everyday shoes (even though we bought them as a required element in an outfit worn for a music group!). Unfortunately, the rubber sole has worn through in less than three months. I had hoped that they would last longer--hence the lower overall rating!

The Velcro back feature is great for high tops but the elastic shoe laces create a new problem, making it hard to slip into. Cut them off, replace w/ laces and the shoe is great. You may want to insert a cushy insole if you want arch support.

Brands I'd also recommend: Converse classic instead of slip-on

The velcro back feature is cool; saves time, making the shoe easier to get into, but the stretch laces should be replaced with regular laces (I did this, and still don't have to tie them anymore) and the shoe totally works! The stretch lace defeats the purpose of "easy slip". I also insert gel insoles - all this is worth doing, because I love my All Stars old school look.

My son loves these, and that is saying a lot because he is very picky about shoes. He is 5 and these are really easy for him to put on himself, much easier than the kind that tie up. I really don't understand the bad reviews about the laces and having to cut them out and replace. These shoes are great!

Loved the look, but like others have said, they run big. Maybe a half size? Also, the elastic laces and velcro closure are good in theory, but with no way to tighten the shoe once it was on, my 26 month old's size 8 foot was slipping around like crazy! So cute, but unfortunately we will be returning them and trying the regular lace-up version. Thank goodness for Zappos' free return policy.

The shoes looks so cool. The Velcro back entry easy to use to slip my feet! I wear normally 5.5 youth. I ordered 4.5 youth in Converse size. It is a little bigger. I should have ordered a half size smaller. However, it is perfect to wear in winter because I wear a thick sweater shoe socks in cold weather.

These are the most convenient and comfortable high cut shoes for kids. I bought these for my 2 boys. I got 2 colors of each. I love the velcro on both sides and easy to put on and off every day. I think these are 1 size larger. I would definitely recommend these to moms with younger boys!

Brands I'd also recommend: vans, skechers, freerun nike for boys

First off, love Zappos! Customer service is amazing. Shoes arrive super fast. I only buy my shoes on Zappos and do bother with brick and mortar shoe stores anymore. Second, these converse are great. Got them for my 6-year old who, although he enjoys actually tying his shoes like a big person, takes way too long to do so in the morning. These are great as he just has to pull out the velcroed flaps and voila! shoe is open and ready for foot. The colors are really nice, especially the red stitching detail. I highly recommend them.
