Can not get my daughter's normal-narrow foot through the opening into the shoe with out considerable effort. Seems defective (The size of the shoe was correct in a 1/2 size bigger - but the opening was impossible).

My daughter needed more shoes. Style wasn't my first choice but this was my choice for her and size she likes them and wears them often. So I'm assuming they are great on her. Might be a little big but that's better hoping she takes care of them they last long and Vans are good shoes. Hope this helped.

Shoes are great but I won't be using zappos again. I was given 8 gift cards 5 of them the numbers were stolen.
How humiliating to the people I gave the cards to.
scam scam scam!
Even if they were hacked.
Gift cards are a joke.
Check or cash from now on!

I love these shoes for my 4½ year old! She can put them on by herself, they are comfortable for her to run and play in. They are the perfect shoes for an active little one!

Even though it's a slip on, it seemed a bit stiff to put on at the beginning, but I'd say that's a good sign that once put on, it won't come off foot so easily. We live in NY so our child probably walk more than average in daily basis, but so far it's durable enough to get through everyday wear, and hope it'll last until our child's feet out grows this pair. Same thing can be said for any similar type shoe, the heel gets grounded pretty quickly, even with light weighted kids, so if dragging heels happen often times, these may not be the one for you.

Many reviewers said these run large but I ordered the same size my girls wear in Keds shoes, and they were a good fit - one must have been growing because she needed a half size bigger than her current Keds. They can also be a bit tricky to get on until they are broken in. But they are fun and funky and my kids love them!

My daughter, age 9, loves these shoes. She is kind of picky on comfort but found these to be comfortable the first time she put them on. They are cute and seem to be sturdy. I ordered a 1/2 size up and they fit well.

Based on the reviews I ordered a half size down for my daughter. They were way too small so having to send them back. Great shoe though.

Love these. My daughter says they're very comfortable and she loves that they're so easy to put on as her indoor shoes at school.

My daughter picked these out and loves them! The design is exactly as it appears, and something fun. As most reviews indicate they do run about 1/2 size large, so size down slightly.

2 reasons my daughter chose these: 1)pink & shiny 2)no laces. I like the classic style and that she can wear them with anything. Based upon other reviewers' suggestions, I originally ordered a whole size smaller, but I had to exchange them for a bigger size. She currently wears a 2.5 in most shoe brands, and the 2 fit her perfectly with room to grow. Zappos had the new size on my door step the next day, even though I requested the exchange on a Sunday. We <3 Zappos!!

Perfect fit for my 10 year old (size 4). She went crazy over them and wants to wear them everywhere.

My daughter loves these shoes, and I love that the quality is far superiour to nearly identical shoes sold for the same price at other trendy girls clothing stores. My daughter typically wears a 13, but had trouble putting these on (but once on, they felt okay, but didn't have any growing room at all). I sized up to a 13.5 and they were much easier to slip into, but they're still not something she can just kick on and off. But she loves them so we kept them. She's had them almost a month and wears them 3-4 times a week and they still look great.

My 7year old has a very hard time finding shoes she is comfortable in. She has wide and thick feet so most shoes squeeze her foot. She was very happy with these thiugh. Easy to wear, can wear them to PE. These will be her shoes for the next few sizes.

I read the reviews about ordering half or a full size smaller and should not have paid attention. The black and silver shimmer Vans were impossible for either my five or seven year old daughters to get on; the mouth of the shoe does not open enough. Too bad because they are really cute.

The shoes arrived fast, as usual, from Zappos. My girls have worn Vans for awhile and we were surprised to find these slip-ons were too tight (we even ordered a half size up). We are going back to the lace up versions.

I ordered these because I wanted a pair of shoes that my 3 yo could put on and take off by herself. I am almost 7 months pregnant and bending over to tie her shoes (mine too) has become quite challenging. Today was the first time I had my daughter wear the shoes and they were extremely hard to put on. The shoe was very stiff and had no give. I bought a slip on shoe specifically for the ease of the on and off process. And this defeated my whole purpose of buying a slip on shoe. I was literally sweating trying to get these shoes on her feet. My daughter is between an 11.5 and size 12 so the size had nothing to do with her putting the shoe on. Her foot was barely in half way. I eventually was able to get the shoes on after several tires and forceful pushes of my daughters foot. once she got them on she had plenty of room and they appeared to give her no problems. I am hoping the shoe will stretch some and allow her to be able to put the shoe on herself with little effort. Otherwise I will have to return them.

My daughter has had five pairs of Vans Classic Slip-On shoes, and they've always run at least a size large. WARNING: the new Sunset color actually runs a bit small. Size 13.5 in Sunset slip-ons is the exact same length as size 12 in her ASPCA dog slip-ons. Both fit her size 13 feet perfectly. Besides the sizing difference, they're great shoes. Sunset is a pretty color combination.

These are a consistent fit, as always with Vans. Geometric Hot Coral is a beautiful pattern. They are feminine without being girly for my not too girly girl.

These are spectacular little leopard shoes! Our daughter kissed them when she pulled them out from the box. Happy kid, happy Mommy. They run true to size.

I bought these for some quick shoes for my daughter to slip on and play outside over the summer. Also a little nostalgia from my own youth. They are very cute shoes, but they run at least a full size large. I had to return the shoes I purchased twice to get the right size and my daughter still is not wearing them because she says they still feel too big. I think she'll like them when they fit right, but definitely follow the advise of others and get these a full size down. wn is still a little big.

Shoe runs at least a half size too big. It's adorable and well-cushioned. The shoe also has great arch support.

I LOVE these slip on Vans and have been buying them over and over again for my little girl since she was first walking, and we always get compliments on how cute and cool they are. All the colors are super cute, and the slip-on is very convenient. They have a bit of a wide fit, and they do run big - probably 1/2 to a full size bigger than what they measure her at at Stride Rite. She measured an 11 this time but I got a 10.5 in Vans and they are nice and roomy. I probably could have gotten a 10 but I'm happy with giving her the extra room to grow. She loves them and is putting them on herself (3 yrs. old). Awesome!

These shoes run a whole size larger. I have now returned two pairs because I read a review that said it ran half size larger. Cute shoes so this will be my third attempt to get the correct size for my daughter who can't wait to wear these shoes to school.

Very cute shoe but indeed it is a full size too big, and I can't unfortunately go any smaller! Now to find a replacement which will be hard as she loves them. Trying to decide to keep for next year or not.
