A fan favorite of my 3 year old and mom! This is our second pair - It was his favorite last fall and again the only pair he wants to wear this fall. Comfy, easy for him to get on and off himself and super cute!

Love these! Not only are they totally cute and stylish but they are so easy for my 3 year old to put on himself! He has wider feet so I was a little nervous as they only came in medium but they have a great fit-not too narrow and not to wide. I will probably purchase more in another color-we are totally satisfied with this shoe!

These are our 2nd pair of these Vans. They've actually improved the design -- the straps are more sturdily constructed, making it easier for my son to put them on himself. (He's almost 4.) We were purchasing the Converse shoes just like this but I think I like these better. Sturdier straps and better toe for a kid who rides a run bike and is constantly dragging his feet to brake. They do seem to run a little large but the half sizes compensate for that nicely.

First of all, Zappos customer service is awesome! I wanted to make sure I'd have these in time for Easter and they made it happen! Plus, no shipping costs or tax? You can't even buy these shoes from vans.com without shipping and tax! Second, my three year old is a little rocker and he is too cool for school in these shoes. He loves that they look like mommy's shoes and a month later is still showing everyone his new shoes. :)

Very cute and very true to size. Nice to have something between a 5-6 for my 18 month old. It's been a struggle to find good shoes for him to play in that aren't too big or too small. He never tried to take these off which is a great sign that they are comfortable to play in!

I was hesitant to order shoes online, but with Zappos you can't go wrong. I figured I could just send them back...you won't do that with these! I ordered them for my 14 month old who has wide and tall (fat) feet. It was impossible to find anything here locally. Anything I could find was a struggle to get on and stay on. These are way easy to get on, stay on, and are so flippin' cute! My toddler loves them and I love that they fit!

Love these shoes for my two year old. Super easy to get on an off with the Velcro straps. Second pair in a row I ordered and plan to order another pair when necessary (which will be soon of course!).

Daughter loves these! Easy on, easy off. Not too heavy. Really great! No complaints! May run slightly large, but not as big as similar Converse. Daughter just fits most 6.5 shoes and is a 6 in these.

These are super cute. My three-year-old loves them. He also informed us that they made him run faster. Definitely a keeper.

This is a great shoe. It has a nice cushion insole and let’s be honest, you just can’t go wrong with the velcro straps. My four year old is always in a hurry and he can put his shoes on in a flash without any assistance. The classic checkerboard design adds a little flare to his wardrobe.

Love these shoes and so does my 3 year old daughter. This is her second pair and I am thrilled with how well they have held up. Super cute and she can put them on by herself which she loves! They are generous in size but she seems to be in between sizes right now so it may or may not be the shoe! Always a pleasure to buy from Zappos. Great customer service and I can always find what I am looking for. Thanks.

I loved these shoes for my son. He is 1 year old & they are easy and quick to put on when you're on the go! Also stylish. The only thing is they have no arch, but he has chunky little feet that make it difficult to find a good pair of shoes for him, but these fit perfect! I plan on purchasing a pair for my soon to be 3 year old also. We love Zappos! It's the best place to find toddler shoes with wide feet

Love these shoes! These are the 3rd pair of Vans we\'ve purchased for our 2 1/2 year old. He is very tough on his shoes, and the Vans manage told hold up through all of his rough play. We\'ll continue to purchase this brand for him!

These shoes fit well - easy on and off, and my 2 1/2 year old loves them. You can certainly find cheaper shoes, but these have proved durable - he wears them every day. This is the third pair I\'ve bought for him - and I will continue to buy them as long as he consents to wear them.

What cute little shoes to match Daddy\'s checkerboard slip-ons. My 16 mo old son\'s feet are wide and the regular slip ons just didn\'t fit on his feet, but the velcro is great and we have no problems getting them on is chubby toddler feet. He just loves that they look just like daddys and we get compliments all the time on how cute he looks! Thanks Zappos and Vans!

Mom of 3yr old - Great shoes, my little guy loves them. Vans do run big, so be careful of wanting to order the shoe big so that they will grow into them! My boy is a size 9 and I ordered him a 9 and there is plenty of room.
