This is a great shoe. I have had these in almost every size since my son was a baby (he's 7 now). Obviously, I love the style and look of the shoe. My son loves them because they are comfy and he can slip them on and off in no time flat. I ordered and received these shoes from Zappos in under 48 hours. Zappos rocks!

Highly recommended. My niece has a ten year old son that is required to wear braces on his feet and legs. Trying to find a "hip" or "cool" shoes with velcro straps locally was impossible. Zappos offered several options with his difficult to find shoe size. Thank you Zappos!

The shoes came quickly. Had them in plenty of time for Christmas. They are beautiful. Love the style and quality of the Vans. However, I ordered the size that my grandson usually wears and these were a bit large for him. I also bought his older brother Vans in a retail store. Again, great style and quality, but a little large. Not a criticism. Just a comment. The kids love the feel of the shoe.

First time buyer of Vans Kids. With a combination of suede and canvas upper this shoe is well made and easy to clean. Also has moderate arch support. A cool looking casual shoe--it's a winner!

These shows are awesome for boys! We recently bought them for our four year old, and my husband loved them so much on our son that he bought the adult version from your site the next week! Very comfortable and cool for little boys wanting to be big boys! :)

Great shoe, my son loved it and I loved the price. One word of caution though, shoe size runs maybe 1 or 1/2 size bigger. If you're ordering the shoe for immediate wear order the same size or 1/2 size bigger. Overall experience was great, will be ordering from Zappos again for my son's shoes.

I ordered a size up to allow room for my son to grow into these, but they were huge on him. Returning was super easy though and we had the right fit mailed back in no time. My son loves these shoes. We’ve had Vans in the past (the slip on ones) and the quality was excellent. The test of time will be if the suede on this pair holds up in Hawaii’s climate. I do recommend the slip-on, all-cloth ones by Vans because they can be washed. These velcro ones are nice looking, comfortable & quality shoes also - just can’t be washed.

Great shoes, especially for the price. My seven-year-old wears the soles out of his shoes within a couple of months. I find that the Vans soles last much longer than most. The velcro straps means no tying shoelaces in the middle of an activity at school. \r\n\r\nI find these shoes run one size larger than my son\'s regular size.\r\n\r\nThe shoes were delivered within one day. My son and I are very satisfied.

My son is 4 and he has had Vans since he started walking. I love that they are roomy--my son has wide feet. I love the style-fashion wise, ease factor (they are velcro) and generally they are a solid shoe. I would definitely recommend this shoe. They seem to run big so order half a size down.

I love these shoes. These are my 4 year old son's 2nd pair and they are perfect for him. They are easy to get on and off, stylish and great for everyday wear. They're especially cute with shorts because they are so compact. I would go with a 1/2 size down. They tend to run long.

Shoe runs a whole size larger and quite wide, very cool looking, clean, sleek. Little arch support, too. We purchased another pair of Vans for my son instead to match his brother and dad w/ better arch support and easier to put on.

Great shoes for my 4 year old boy. Easy for him to get on and off, and made for skaters, so they can handle some abuse. Good price. Gotta love Zappos.

Very nice shoes. My son has large feet and doesn't always want to be bothered tying his shoes. It is very hard to find larger shoes that have velcro closures. I was happy to find nice shoes that come in larger sizes. And my experience with Zappos was wonderful as usual.

My 8 year old immediately put on the shoes and would not take them off! They're very comfortable and blue combo very stylish or cool as my son tells me. If you're tired of reminding your child to tie his shoe laces all the time - the Velcro closures are perfect. And didn't make the shoe look juvenile. Shoe does run at least a 1/2 size large. We had to exchange them for a smaller size. Zappos was amazing and sent smaller size that day and we got it the very next day! Very good shoe with amazing customer service from Zappos!
