Very cool, but true skater fit - These are great-looking, but they did feel a bit big. Also, you need to know that they are true skater fit. I wouldn’t order them for new walkers, because they are a bit heavy and very flat-soled.

I really liked these shoes at first, but after less than 3 months of wear, they are totally falling apart. The heels have worn down quite a bit, and on one shoe the metal loop that you insert the velcro strap into has completely come unsewn. I expect that these shoes will be completely unwearable very soon. As for comfort and appearance, they are fine. It is disappointing, though, that I have had cheaper store brand shoes hold up much better than these. I cannot recommend these unless they are only for very occasional use.

My little boy hasn't worn them yet, since they were bigger than expected. But the color is great and I expect them to be as comfortable as other pairs of Vans he's had.

I wore out a pair of Vans in 1989 so I figured they might be a good bet. My almost 4 year old son has big opinions about shoes and he asked to wear these, wears them everywhere which equals, comfortable and stylish (his favorite word).

I'd also recommend: Jumping Jacks, Kamik kids, keen, crocks

Sizing was way big; had to re-order twice. I bought them for my little girl, to go with all her dark blue and gray leggings and they do look super cute. She can get them on herself and says they are comfy, but runs big. Order smaller.

These shoes are the perfect color! The pewter goes with almost everything! They are also super easy to get on my very busy toddler!

I'd also recommend: Converse
