Customer Reviews Vans Kids Classic Slip-On (Little Kid/Big Kid)

These shoes fit my 5 year old once he can get them on, but they take about 10 minutes and a shoe horn for him to get them on, despite the fact that he has been putting on his own shoes for 3 years. The elastic is too tight and the canvas is too stiff for him to put them on independently without a struggle. Even with my help, it took us 5 minutes to get them on. Once they are on, they fit fine, though the arch support is quite small and not very supportive. We bought them because they are a required dress code item for his school. Otherwise, we would be returning them. The effort it takes to put them on is ridiculous for a shoe that is supposedly made to slip on and off easily.

My daughter can wear a size 1 or 2 normally, I bought a 2 and she couldn't get her foot in it

Had to return

These are adorable, unfortunately the sizing. Runs unbearable too small, I have to go way out of way to return them. wish I would've read the reviews

... my son complained about them being hard to get on, and he said the white part was too tight. He didn't want to try to break them in. Back they went.

As other reviewers have stated, these shows are way too difficult to get onto a kid's feet. They're fine once on and look cute but not worth the time and struggle of getting them on. My daughter won't wear them bc they hurt to put on, even after I ordered them a half size up to try to avoid this issue.

Disappointed. My grandson couldn't get his feet into shoes, the opening was too tight. Length was correct, but opening too small.

Bought a matching pair for my child and the foot opening was so small she could barely fit it.

Ordered true to size based reviews and they were way too small for my daughter. Her foot wouldn't even go in the shoe, and she doesn't have a wide foot at all. Definitely have to try on in person before purchasing! We returned our purchase.

These are very cute but they run very small. My son wears a 13 and I ordered a 13.5 and he probably needs a 1.5!

My toddler has had slip ons with no issues putting them on. These are so tight he can barely fit them on his ankles and he has SKINNY ankles. We kept them only because he liked them so much, but the fit is awful compared to previous shoes and we buy all of his from Vans so I'm confused if this is how all 10.5 will be now? Scared to buy another pair :(

As others have already reported, this style is a difficult fit. The tops are too tight for the kids to slide their feet in their correct size. If sized up, the heels slip off their feet. Kind of surprising given how many years Vans has made these shoes. My daughters and I wear these in the adult version, and they fit fine.

I bought these for my 5 year old who has a thin foot but a high arch. I couldn’t even get these on his foot. Maybe someone with a flat foot would have an easier time. The toddler version is so much better.
