Wow is the only word I can think of to describe the service that I have received from Zappos. Everything down to the size and shipment was GREAT. My nephew loves his new kicks and every time he sees me head into the computer room he runs and gets his ultra cute Vans and screams Zappos! Thanks for the great service and putting a smile on my nephew’s face :)

Vans are the BEST kids shoes! Not only are these Vans adorable, but they are so easy to get on my little guys feet because of the velcro! Finally a "cool" shoe with the ease of velcro. My boys are the cutest, hippest kids around. Not to mention, they love them too. (3 year old & 1 1/2 year old). Attention Vans - Please make these in more colors!!

Van's Kid's BIG SCHOOL - Great looking shoe! I felt it ran a little larger than marked - Also runs narrow. For an extra wide foot would not work. Other than that...GREAT SHOE!!

"Look! I put on shoes all by self!" Our 2 year old son absolutely loves his vans. They make him feel like a big kid because he can put them on all by himself. Not to mention they are like some that daddy has too. He also loves to show off the "skeletons" (really they're skulls) to all of our friends. This is his 6th pair of Vans; he won't wear anything else! It makes it easy on us though. The fit is so great; we always know to order the next size when the current ones get too small.

3 Year old son like his cool shoes - My 3 year old son likes his new space rocket shoes. He likes the canvas shoes better than the chunkier leather shoes. These seem to run big though so at the moment he is tripping on them quite a bit. He still chooses these to wear. My other preference would be the Stride Rite shoes but they are a lot more expensive.

Now my 2 year old has COOL shoes like his sister! Love them. Fit is excellent. They did not have such a great selection at the local Vans store. Durable, great fit. My son loves the rockets and planets on the shoes. He was always envious of his sister’s colorful shoes. Great service, shipping, selection!
Brands I'd also recommend: Vans Are Great for kids without wide feet.

So cute! Ordered the spaceship Vans for my 2 year old- he absolutely loved them. They fit well but seem to run a little wide. The velcro makes it easy to adjust and a huge plus is that he can put them on himself!

Love the Toddler Vans - My toddler loves his Vans... this is his second pair. They are a little wider than most shoes - as most skateboarding shoes are - but that makes them easier to get on!

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.

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.

Awesome little shoes - 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.
Brands I'd also recommend: Crocs - summer

Perfect for kids with wide feet - 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.
