I bought two pair of these - one for my son (5) and one for my daughter (7). The shoes are cute, but they don't hold up very well at all! The side elastic started to pull apart after about 2 weeks of wear. At this point the kids are still wearing them, but the elastic is almost non existent. They are more like flip flops now. I would say these are either cheaply made shoes or poor quality material shoes - they definitely should have held up better. Would not buy again.

We always wear Vans and although ordered the size we always wear, these are bigger! So disappointed. Even when placed near another size 4 also ordered through Zappos, there’s a difference.

Tried two sized for my daughter and they were both VERY WIDE at the ankle. I guess she has narrow ankles. The design and color were awesome. She was sad she could not keep them.

I have a pair of 4.5 Buzz Lightyear Vans so I bought the 4.5 in the Holo Hearts. I don't know if it's because the material is different or because they are "girl's" instead of "boy's" but they are much smaller and a little more narrow. It surprises me that the other reviewers are saying they run larger. Perhaps the sizing is just off with these.

They were amazing in the beginning but after just a couple of weeks the interior of the heel area split in half (horizontally) cause extreme blisters and pain. Now I have to buy new pair even though these are almost new!

Super cute but my daughter could not get them on by herself (6 years old) when I got the size that fit her. Had to send them back. Oh well!

OK... Do Not order DOWN! I read the reviews first and ordered a pair at my daughter's current size and a 1/2 size smaller based on reviews. WHAT? Both pairs had to be returned because these shoes are so small and tight! My daughter has never worn a "wide" shoe although her feet aren't especially narrow, either. But these shoes wouldn't even slip on her feet. Not worth trying to order a couple LARGER sizes and seeing if they're more comfortable. Went with Cienta slip-ons instead.

These run really small. My daughter wears a 2, so I got a 2.5 for some room to grow and she can barely get them on her feet. I need to return and hope for size 3.

I've owned Vans for as long as I can remember. I wear a size 4 in kids in most of their shoes with the slip ons being the most comfy with that size. I couldn't get them in!!!' As I write this, I'm comfortably wearing my old size 4 slips with star print. I had to send them back as I was struggling. Maybe it's the material??

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.

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.

Daughter loves the bunny shoes. After less than 2 months they have a hole in them. Expected better quality.

We loved the look and fit; however, after about 1 week, Hello Kitty face started to rub off. A bit disappointing but my daughter still loves them

These run big but even knowing that from other reviews, these are hard to get the right size ordered. Two orders later and my daughter ended up with an 11.5 (she wears a 12.5 or 13 in other shoes). Also, unfortunately, after only 6 weeks of wear (to school - and not every day) the seams where the shoe meets the rubber side of the soles is coming apart. I thought these should have lasted longer than that! They look like she's been wearing them a year. But, she loves them, they are easy for a 6 year old to get on, and stylish with all kinds of outfits which is important for my little fashionista.

Buy at least 1 size smaller without wiggle room -
These shoes are cute but run much bigger than average. My daughter got a size 10.5 when she was wearing 10 with a little wiggle room in regular shoes. Her feet were swimming in these shoes, but she wanted to keep them. They go flying all over the place when she is running :D. She is now a regular size 11 and they still are big. Her lace-up Vans are size 10 and are more true to size. Even with the flying shoe danger, she still loves these shoes.

NOT TRUE TO SIZE -
Like they say three times a charm. My daughter wears a 7 1/2 or an 8. I ordered the 8 had to return, then ordered the 7, had to return that as well. After speaking with the customer service rep, she informed me that Vans run 1 to 1 1/2 sizes larger than most shoes. So, I finally order the 6 1/2, which is a little big, but not by much. Fits okay, but has enough room so that my daughter will be able to wear them all summer. Very cute though. She loved them.

Huge!!!
I bought these shoes for my daughter. According to other reviews, I got a size smaller than she wears. They were still huge on her. She really loved them and didn't want to send them back, but she won't be fitting into them for at least a year! Very oversized!

Literally could not get the shoe on the kids foot. When I returned in store was told this is a common problem with the preschool slip ons. Y'all gotta make these wider.
