Ordered a 6 initially cause I wear a woman's 8 but when I tried it on it slipped right off my foot and looked quite awkward. Thankfully Zappos has a quick and easy exchange process and I was able to get the 5.5 in the same week. I'm pretty happy with them except I find the cut of the shoe a bit higher than the rest, on the tongue part. Is it just me or did you guys notice the same thing?

This topsider came as expected and serves it's purpose. Fun and functional but not a lot of support, though it is not meant for all day walking.

I had to order this three times and I'm still not satisfied. First time, they didn't have the size I ordered. Second time, it was too big so I gave it to my friend. Third time, it fit but the sole of the shoe flaps up and it's not secured on. Also there's a dent(?) on top of the shoe like it's been knifed. But I still like the shoe and its color so I'm going to keep trying.

I bought these for my five year old son to wear with a navy blue suit when he was a ring bearer. He complained that they rubbed on the inside. I put band aids on a few spots that were turning red so he did not get blisters. He has worn them only once, so I cannot say if they get more comfortable. But they looked very cute!

These shoes are wonderful, very comfortable! Make sure you get the right size and that they are not too big because they can scrape your heel if they are a bit loose.

Unfortunately, they were very cheap feeling and oversized. I returned them, not worth the money.

Although I like this shoe, the previous incarnation, called the Defender I think, was sturdier and seemed more substantial in terms of wear and tear. Would like to know if that model is still being manufactured.

I bought this very good looking shoes for my 3.5 Year old son to wear to school BUT the shoe laces do not stay tied... i even double tied them but they come undone. Very frustrating for me and the teachers. Very disappointing and I'm very dissatisfied..

Cute cute cute! And excellent quality, but very small and narrow. I would've had to size up a full size, but my girly girl wasn't into them so I didn't bother.

The shoes are really adorable on my son; however, he had bleeding heels after 10 minutes of wearing them. I'm hoping they will wear in (if I can get him to put them on again). Really good looking, not sure of fit though.

I was so excited for my son to wear these to school but after just 10 days of wearing them, the insoles came off! On both shoes! I tried looking up reviews and the shoe description to see if they were supposed to be detachable but couldn't find any. Very disappointed. I had to purchase insoles so he could wear them comfortably.

I love the style of the shoe. I purchased them for my kid & I to take spring pictures. The shoe is SIGNIFICANTLY lighter in person than it is online. I did not like that. The online color is what prompted me to purchase them in the first place. The shoe is also a tad flimsy. I have a feeling they will not last long.

My son says they are comfortable and of course, they're cute. However, they are difficult to keep tied and after only 1 month of wearing them to school, one of the laces has already broken. Now we have to go out and try to find replacement laces :(

These shoes are super cute but are not holding up well at all! I returned the first pair and Zappos sent a replacement, but these are falling apart at the seams too so we will live with them but won't buy them again.

Bought a pair, kid's school required them. Laces broke after three weeks. Spent about eight hours trying to re-lace them. The holes are smaller than adult shoes. Tried Sperry lacing needle it's too large to fit through the kid's shoe eyelet. Took them to a shoe repair store. gentleman said "No needle will fit through those tiny eyelets, Have to un-sew the upper, install lace and resew". I won't tell you what that cost, find out for yourself after your kid breaks a shoelace.

In general, it's a nice, classic boat shoe. The sole and the upper seem well made, and it fit true to size, maybe just a tad on the small side. However, there are two major flaws: first, the laces broke on the second time my son attempted to wear them! And second, there is an annoying seam at the back of the heel that gave him a blister. We've encountered that problem in other shoes and it's easily fixed with stick in heel pads, but still for a shoe at this price from a reputable brand, I expect a little better.

The day I received my shoes, the insoles were already peeling! After trying them on around my home, I noticed that there was a crack in the left toe area of the shoe. I am pretty disappointed by these shoes overall.
