These do not run a full size larger as some reviews suggest. They run a half size larger. Had to return for the right size because I ordered down a whole size. They are super cute...look comfy! Can be worn with jeans or skirts. Can even wear with casual dresses. Now that's one cool shoe!

Very cute shoe but they sure do run big. I agree with other reviewers to order a whole size smaller.

These shoes are so cute. My daughter absolutely loves then. I can barely keep them off her feet. There is still plenty of toe room for growth...which is great for any kid. Everything arrived very quickly. I am a Zappos convert for sure.

For the price of this shoe, this is a great choice. My daughter loves the design. She goes through shoes very fast and I will for sure be buying more.

I ordered these for my six year old daughter and she loves them! They run a bit big so you may want to size down.

Ordered for my 4 year old daughter and very happy with cool design. Even happier to delay learning how to tie laces!

Adorable shoes! Really cute in person. Daughter (5 years) loves 'em. They do run one half size too big. I found this out by ordering the right size for her, having it be way too big, then ordering a whole size down and having it fit tightly. Luckily we love the shoe so we'll keep the big pair until she grows into them. The shoe also seems to be narrow.

My daughter enjoys the comfort and fit of the Vans purchased. They are convenient slip-on and the Hello Kitty design makes it even more popular for a 10 year old!

I ordered three pairs of black Mary Jane type shoes size for my 7 year old grand daughter, hoping she would like at least one. Upon arrival, she tried each pair, walking around the living room. Without hesitation, she chose this shoe, even though the other pairs were dressier and more attractive. Padding is awesome back of the heel; Shoe is very soft inside. The shoe can be worn for dressy occasions as well as every day.

Sigh, so hard to find a nice Mary Jane for my daughter. She is no longer a little girl, but not ready for tween and would like a comfortable run-around party shoe in a Mary Jane style, preferably black or silver or grey. We've been looking for 3 months and it is so frustrating. This is a nice shoe, but it dug into my daughter's in-step at the seam near the strap. It has good support and padding in the heal and it is cute - not as cute as the Kid Express shoes that no longer come in her size, but cute. Unfortunately, yet another return.

Finally a winner. We ordered 4 pairs of shoes that were similar in style (loafer with strap/Mary Jane). All had some uncomfortable problem, other than this shoe.

These ran large, so we had to return them despite measuring my daughter's feet before ordering. Unfortunately, they were out of the smaller size in our desired color so we couldn't re-order. They appeared very well-made, well-padded for comfort, and were cute in style though.

My 7 year old loves these shoes and wants to wear them all the time. The insole is very soft and cushiony and she says they are so comfortable you can't even feel that they're on! The only concern I had was there is roominess from the shoe to the top of her foot; I made the strap extra tight which was better. I'm hoping that she will grow into them and I'm certain they'll last all school year. Overall, very good looking, well made shoe.

This is a very pretty shoe, and very true to its pictures. This particular style is more heavily padded on the bottom than the previous pair we've tried, and did not provide enough room for my daughter's foot without the top of the shoe digging into her foot. The toe bed is narrower than expected, and not wide enough for my toddler's feet. This would be a great shoe for a little girl with narrow feet, but not comfortable for a toddler with typical baby feet.
