PERFECT for my toddler! My little guy (19 months) has a wide instep so putting on shoes in general can be a challenge. But not these! They look fantastic and are easy to put on. Great shoe! Great buy!

Mother of four active kids!!! Really cool shoes!!!
I got these shoes for my 2 year old twins. A boy and a girl and also for my 4 year old boy. They love these shoes and they are so easy to put on that they do it themselves. They do run half a size bigger, but it's okay because they will last longer. The shipping was GREAT!!! I do a lot of online shopping and this was the fastest standard shipping I've ever gotten. Oh, by the way, I got the blue and pink shoes.

Got this shoe for our 13 month old and absolutely love it! We were tired of struggling to get his fat little feet into traditional baby shoes (Nike, Robeez Tredz, Stride Rite, etc.) and then trying to uncurl his toes. His older brothers have Vans, so we thought, why not for baby too? The velcro allows you to open the shoe wide up (I'd advise against slip ons at this age) and slip fat little feet inside easily. They feel pretty true to size and are absolutely adorable. Will definitely order more as he grows; especially from Zappos. Ordered at 4:30pm and arrived at 1pm the next day. Wow! Our family loves Zappos and Vans!

Easy on and easy to clean -
Great for an active toddler - easy on and easy to clean up in the washer. Great for climbing, running and general wear around. A bit more substantial/heavier than Converse but easier on/off due to the velcro.
Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Converse sneakers

Our little boy's favorite -
This is the second pair of Vans we've bought for our son who is nearly two. (The first pair were the Old School version, which he has worn out.) We bought the blue checkered ones and he absolutely loves them. They're easy to get off and on thanks to the velcro fastenings and they look adorable on his feet. He seems to really like them, too, as he'll choose them first any time he has an option to pick his shoes for the day.

Perfect little shoe.
Fits well, she can put it on herself, and it stays on. Best feature (according to her) is that we got the same shoe in big sister's size and in Daddy's size so they can all match.
Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Ecco fits little feet that are slender, not pudgy, nicely.

Sizing and no arch support -
My child is a size 10 according to the size chart. However when I received this shoe it was huge and the inside measures 7 inches which according to the shoe chart would be a size 12. Two sizes larger than marked! There is also absolutely no arch support. I really wish they could put the inside measurements of each shoe on the website. It’s a bit disappointing and hard to ship back because I live in Canada. Oh well. Guess I will have to wait for his foot to grow.

I love this shoe. It is so cute. Such a boys shoe. Even my picky husband liked it. Because of the velcro it is easy to put on my toddler.

We had a hard find wide shoes that were stylish for our little boy and this fit the bill. He is learning how to put them on himself and the shoes are really cute.

Well the shoes are very cute and are good quality you would expect with Vans. They are a good fit for his wide feet and he can close the velcro all the way. I would recommend these if you child has wide feet.

Cute shoe!
My 3.5 year old loves to wear his Vans! They look so cute on and seem very comfortable. My son usually wears a wide, but after reading the reviews I felt comfortable ordering him the Vans and they seem plenty wide! The velcro is an added bonus- easy for him to get these on and off! I will order again!

KILLER KID’S SHOES -
My daughter loves these shoes. They are easy to take on and off and they fit her little feet perfectly. Most shoes are too narrow even though she doesn't have extra wide or thick feet. She is 16 months and can walk really well in them. I highly recommend them, especially since they are so cute.

Coolest 2 year old around -
These shoes are great!! This is now my 2nd pair, first pair got too small. These are easy on/off, fashionably awesome, and fit a toddler great. He also LOVES them. I recommend them for any toddler of a Vans lover.

Little Rockstar -
It took me 10 months to find a shoe that fit my son. I had to find something that fit his thick little foot, something that was comfortable for him - but also stylish enough for mommy. Seriously, we did try many brands of shoes. It was difficult to find a shoe that fit properly. My 10 month old son has a very thick foot. This is not the same as wide. We tried several varieties of shoes that were labeled wide width and we only found a couple that fit. This is a great shoe. He doesn't mind wearing it and it seems to be fine for crawling and standing. He has not started to walk yet, but I assume it will do fine for walking as well. We get great comments on the shoe also - people love the checkerboard appearance. Overall it is a great shoe and I will buy more in the future.

All the Vans shoes with this style are great for kids with wide feet. The tapered toe shoes would hurt my daughter’s foot, but the Vans are nice and wide! They are also well made - these are the only shoes I buy for her now.

These are really the best sneakers for a toddler. They have good support, they are sturdy, they wash, and the child can get them on and off easily. The velcro lasts too, does not lose its stick.

Sneakers for my 3 year old son -
These sneakers are very cute. I cannot rate the comfort as I am not wearing them and my son has yet to wear them for any length of time. The sizing seemed a bit challenging. The 91/2 seemed a bit too tight and the 10 seemed pretty big. I am keeping the 10's and hope that they will last for a bit. You've got to love the velcro when putting on shoes for your 3 year old boy.

These are great. I like them because they have a nice wide toe-box and don't pinch my toddler’s toes -- it also makes them easy to get off and on. They are great for summer because the canvas is lightweight. The velcro is more practical than laces and my son will soon be able to put them on by himself. Plus, they are super cute.

 |  | Okay, color me simply amazed. I only placed this order on Saturday, and I already have the shoes in my hands (and for no extra delivery charge)! Better yet, the shoes fit like a dream-the exact right size, perfect fit, and comfortable. Even high end department stores couldn't fit me, but you could and you did. (Small narrow feet seems to be a challenge for retailers.) Being a bit of a cynic (and needing these shoes for a wedding I'm going to on Friday), I figured the shoes wouldn't arrive until just before I had to go. But they were in today. You do nothing to aid and abet my sour attitude, but I'm okay with that. Color me a steady customer from this point onward. Thanks. (Everyone else in my office already swears by you, so you have a whole contingent of fans here.)
