Customers Say

Customers find these sneakers adorable on young boys and appreciate their great fit, particularly noting they run half a size larger than expected. They are comfortable, easy to walk in, and go perfectly with almost every outfit, with one customer mentioning they can be worn for both play and dress-up occasions. The primary red color receives positive feedback, and customers consider them a great classic sneaker. Durability and ease of use receive mixed reviews - while customers say they last a good while and are easy to get on, some find them tough to put on.

This is my 3 year old's fourth pair of Vans. As many of you moms of boys know, the variety of cute shoes is often lacking when it comes to boys, so I have found Vans to be one of my favorite go-tos! I do prefer the slip on so I don't have to worry about the ties, but just had to have the red, which was only available in the lace up style. I love the fact that I can wash the cloth shoes with ease, although I will say the color on the brown seemed to fade considerably when I washed them. That really didn't bother me enough to keep me from buying another pair in that color when my son moved up a size. I will say that the shoes run big, so order a size smaller than needed. My son wears a 10 and I had to get a 9, although I may send the last pair back for 9.5 so we can get longer wear out of them. My son has very wide feet, which easily fit into the slip on version of Vans. I will say that we got the white color last year and the seams turned an odd shade of purple when I washed them. I called Zappos and they promptly sent me a new pair. When the shoes dried, the purple color disappeared.

So cute! I bought these for my 2 year old daughter and she loves them! I thought they were going to be to heavy and thick for her to walk good in, but they are perfect.

Needed white shoes for a summer wedding but could not find white shoes for a toddler in stores. Was so happy to find them online and Zappos got them to us right away. Thank you. Shoes were a perfect fit and looked great with the linen suit. It was exactly as the picture. He didn't mind wearing them through the wedding, reception and danced the night away...well at least until bedtime.

My 2 1/2 year old loves these. I feel like they have better traction than Chuck Taylor's too (although I love Converse). Great shoe!
