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!

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.

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.

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.

I'd also recommend: Crocs - summer

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.
