I love these shoes and so does my 15 mo old. He wears them pretty much every day. They fit good, are easy to get on and off, are very sturdy and supportive on his little feet. I don't think I need to comment on how rad they are because they're Vans!

Great shoe. Super cute and easy for my 3.5 year old to put on and off by himself. I only marked moderate arch support because my son has flat feet and needs an insert. Otherwise, it's probably more of a fashion shoe than an athletic shoe.

We love these shoes! Worth paying a little more for quality shoes that will take a beating and still last a long time. I also like that they are a little roomy. I wouldn't say a full or half size bigger but there is certainly a little room to accommodate some growth.

These shoes are perfect for my rough-on-shoes son. He uses his feet as brakes and these shoes have a thick rubber sole that has yet to wear out. I would buy these again for him.

These shoes look great and are made very well so they will be able to stand up to the beating my toddler will give them.

These are so adorable. My son has a wider, thicker foot & they fit him well. They are stylish. The sole is not very flexible, however, and my son sometimes trips when running. He wears the shoe often (these are his every-day shoe); however, I did buy different shoes for him to wear at the playground, and I'm glad that I did. I would recommend them still, though, because they are so cute.

I would recommend these shoes to anyone. They are so comfy and cute on my 19 month old, that I might have to get a pair for my tomboy daughter!! Easy on and off. Wider fit for younger tykes with Flintstone feet. Size seems right on. Love me some Vans!

These shoes are super cute and an easy fit for toddler feet. My son has wide feet and Vans seem to fit him the best, even though they aren't marked "wide." This is kind of signature for Vans and is what makes them accommodate the wider, somewhat flatter, feet of toddlers so well. Vans are also very durable and wear well! I have been buying Vans for my kids for more than 8 years and have loved every pair!

Love Zappos.com. Just a pleasure to deal with, every time. The sneakers are great. What more can you say, Vans Old School. Classic stuff for the kiddo. The only potential concern would be that they're not all that flexible, so if your child is learning to walk, may not be the best option. Very durable.

This is our fourth year of this shoe. Every time my son grows out I give him the opportunity to try something new, and he wants these. They are easy for a 2, 3 and 4 year old to put on; very durable, looks great, and after a little time, comfy enough to wear sans socks. My kids have a high instep and chubby feet, and cheap, crappy department store shoes are a no go. These always fit.

I love these shoes and am sadly disappointed. I read the reviews stating that they worked for their "wider foot" children, and this was not the case. I think they could work if the straps were longer.

My 2 year old loves these and won't take them off. I'll have to buy the next size up soon and will buy exactly the same thing. He wears them almost every day and they still held up well.

These shoes are cool and a great fit. My son's foot sometimes needs a wide width; however, the Medium width was just right. I love these shoes on him.

Bought two pairs for my 5 and 3 year old daughters. They love and wear them daily. Solid construction that will last for a long time. You can never go wrong with Vans. Style, price and construction!

Great little shoe. True fit and easy velcro for toddlers always on the go. Adorable, too! I bought these for my 1.5 year old and he loves them and insists on wearing them over other shoes. As always, great and speedy customer service as well.

My son loves these shoes. They are so easy to get on for him and are a bit wider for his feet. We have purchased these same shoes in a variety of colors for him since he was born and will continue to do so until he gets too big.

My son is absolutely hell on his shoes and these take that beating like a champ! The black hides the inevitable dirt and the velcro makes for quick on and offs. Plus, they are stylish to boot! Highly recommend!
