I had to return this shoe. Purchased a size 13 for my almost 6 yr old boy and it was too small and narrow to even slide his foot in. He has a normal slender foot, and this was our first encounter with a shoe being narrow. Disappointed in how narrow this shoe was and had no stretch in the sides. it is a good looking show if your child’s foot can fit in it.

Even after trying multiple sizes, these were too narrow for my 6 year old to get on his feet. He doesn't have a particularly wide foot. We tried sizing up but to get the width correct, the length was too far off. Unfortunately had to return (3 pairs).

The shoe elastic was so tight that even though shoe was a full size too big, my son could barely get his foot in. He wants "skateboard" shoes, but I have to try and find knockoffs, because this is horrible fit for $35 canvas kids shoes. What a fail Vans!!!

Returned right away. He usually wears 3.5 or 4 in other sneakers. This style only goes up to 4, it was so narrow he had a hard time getting them on and they were too small in length too.

These shoes are very narrow and have a very low arch. Although I ordered one size bigger my son was still unable to put them on.

My son has these exact shoes a half size smaller. I purchased a half size up when his began to wear out, but still fit. He cannot get these shoes on his feet past the toe, like the opening is too narrow. The shoes appear to be the appropriate length and width, but he can't try them on.

My daughter wears a size 13 and I ordered a 1, knowing they’re run small. She can’t get them on her foot. It is truly bizarre!

My daughter wears a size 1 in every shoe she owns. I ordered her these in a size 1 and she couldn't get half of her foot into the shoe.

If your child has a high instep, these may be difficult to get on their foot.

Awful. I bought these a full size bigger than the shoes my son actually wears, however, they were smaller than his previous pair of shoes. Unfortunately, he’s worn them and I cannot return them, so it was a big waste of money. I can barely get his foot in the opening, the elastic on the sides has no stretch. I have no idea how his father got them on him, but my son complained they hurt ALL day. I highly recommend buying a size bigger than you need. They are not true to size and run extremely small and narrow.

These are adorable but they have a very itchy and pokey seam inside that bothered both my kids. It's very thick and rough. 5 stars for style. 1 star for comfort.

The size 3 Little Kid was really tight on my son even though he wears this size in multiple other shoe brands. He literally wore them once and refused to wear them again.

My 6 yr old son is just beginning to grow into size 11. We sized up and ordered 12 based on reviews. We couldn't even get these on his feet! The opening is much too small and doesn't give at all. My son has narrow feet. These are adorable and he was in tears of disappointment because he was excited for new skateboarding shoes. Returning shoes and bummed about the poor design.

Second pair of vans o have tried to purchase and my 7 yo can’t get his foot in the opening. The shoe is far too narrow. My kids feet are not wide.

My son has been begging for a pair of these slip ons and was so disappointed when they showed up. The elastic used, paired with the size of the opening that you put your foot through does not allow his extremely narrow foot inside the shoe. Major design flaw Vans...I was hoping that the other reviewers with the same issue just had wide feet, but my sons are quite narrow and he couldn’t even get the shoes on at all. I can’t even say if they run long or have an arch support since the foot didn’t even make it inside the shoe.
