Loved these shoes. Most of all, loved the quick service. I ordered childrens' shoes from another website, slow, can't beat Zappos service!

These Vans are so cute and they fit perfectly. I was a little worried they would be stiff, but they are not at all.

CUTE! Fit is 1/2 size too big, so size down if your child is a 1/2 size... Plenty wide. Such a fun sneaker for a little one!

Good price for growing feet - My daughter outgrew her Keen shoes and I would have ordered her the next size up, but they were so pricey. I like the Vans a lot. I will say that Keen runs small so it was tough to find the right size in the Vans. I think they are adequate shoes, not as supportive as Keen or Stride Ride, but they'll suffice for the next few months. Very cute, we get lots of compliments. Good price for my daughter's growing feet.

Adorable - These are so cute! My daughter gets so many compliments wearing them. She wears Sure Step Orthotics and these fit her orthotics really well. She seems comfortable in them and is learning to run.

So Cute... I love these shoes, so does my daughter. The only thing I didn’t expect was that the size was bigger than I expected. Meaning, Vans size 6 is a little bit bigger than say Etnies size 6. No biggie though, she grows fast.

They're adorable, but OUCH! My boy/girl twins love Vans for all the funky styles they come in and luckily the regular "old school" slip on Vans fit my son beautifully. My daughter, however, has a wide foot with a high arch and never fit in the slip-ons so she was thrilled when we found this style. We put them on and they fit her foot beautifully! She loved them and wore them around the house for about 10 minutes before she started crying and trying to rip them off her feet. In that short time she had rubbed a monster blister onto the side of her heel. I can feel the part in the shoes that caused this and I don't think even with really thick socks this wouldn't continue to give her blisters so we sent them back. Very disappointing because they were so cute!

Great shoes for a toddler - We had a pair of these as hand me downs for both of my kids so when we grew out, I needed to find a larger size. I would have loved red, as a more versatile color but the pink are a hit for my little girl and she puts them on all by herself now.

Perfect shoes - I just ordered these for my 22 month old daughter and she loves them. Some shoes she's had have been too tight for her feet as she has a high arch. But these fit perfectly and they are very adjustable. Also, she can do the velcro herself to put them on and take them off! For the other ratings, I have a hard time comparing them. They may be a little wider but that is probably because they can be tightened? Also, I'm not sure really about the arch support but my daughter seems comfortable in them!

I bought these for my 3 year old after buying the good ole slip on vans. These appear wider, and she doesn't like to wear them as much as the slip on version. They feel good inside, & I believe offer enough support, & they were definitely cute. Being a former skateboarder myself, it's fun to get these kinds of things for my kid, as they weren't this readily available when I was on a board back in the day!

So cute - I love them, but more importantly, my daughter loves them. She has a thing for shoes, and these seem to meet her high standards.

Great shoe for toddler who wants to do it all - When my daughter learned to put on her own shoes, we tried a pair of velcro Vans. She loves them so much we now have 5 pairs and they wash up really nice so you can keep them clean. My daughter's fav part is she can put them on and take them off ALL BY HERSELF.

Fantastic - I bought these for my daughter...her first pair of sneakers! They fit perfectly and she really loves them. So when her twin brother needed a new pair of sneakers, I bought him the same style but with the rocket ships/planets on them. He loves them too! I highly recommend these shoes.

Cuter than expected! My 2 1/2 year old daughter loved these shoes from the moment I opened the box, which speaks to the color and dolphins. She chooses to wear them often because she can put them on herself.

Love this shoe!! I ordered the bubbles w/ lavender for my daughter, and they are so cute, so easy to put on and take off. Can't wait to order more from Zappos.com; they rock!!!

Very stylish shoe! These shoes are so adorable. My 2 year old always begs to put them on and she looks so cute in them. I ordered a size smaller as some reviewers suggested but when I got them they were too small, so I shipped them back (which was an absolutely wonderful service) and ordered a new pair in her original size. They fit great! I'll be ordering more soon! Thanks Zappos!

These shoes are great! My 12 month old daughter pushes her car back and forth on our patio in these shoes. I love the velcro closure! Cute designs.
