These are really fun, and my five year old loves them. But they run really large, maybe even more than a full size large. We returned them once to get half a size smaller, and they are still too big!

These are so cute! They run true to size and maybe not best for a wide foot. Love the pink detail on the stitching, lace holes and laces. Super fast shipping was great!

My 8 year old daughter loves them and wears them almost every day. You can't go wrong with Vans, they are sturdy, good quality and when they get dirty you throw them in the washing machine.
