these shoes fit well, look nice, and (importantly) are easy to get onto my kid's feet- with some shoes, the heel collapses, but these ones don't- exactly what I was looking for.

I've worn Vans all my life. (now 45 years old). My two year old loves these shoes. He can easily take them on and off because of the velcro. When they are new, the front bottom edge catches when he walks. Once they are worn in, they are good and flexible. He can climb slides backwards with these where his other shoes slip. Plus, they look cool.

These are great sturdy shoes for my grandson just learning to walk. They are reasonably priced too. Thank you.

These shoes are awesome! My 17 month old is about a 5 1/2 but has wide, fat feet. We bought a size 6 and they fit perfect. They are a bit wider so if your son has a narrow foot these will probably be too wide. Vans are so cute and these shoes "dress up" very nicely. They look great with shorts but equally polished with a button up and slacks. I'm so glad to have found shoes for his chubby feet!

These are a great shoe for a great price. They coordinate well with everything and I like the rubber toe for when my son drags his feet while riding toys.

Bought these for my 2 1/2 year old grandson, very cute! The fit was as expected, very sturdy shoe for a boy who plays hard. Would purchase them again.

I've been going with the Vans Kids Old Skool for my son for a couple of years now... started when he was 2-1/2, now he is 4-1/2. I feel they are a good value... the price is right, the shoes fit him well, I like the double velcro straps. Also, they offer half sizes, which I have taken advantage of many times. I usually buy a couple of pairs of these along with some other shoes because my son is so hard on his shoes. No major negatives with these... I will say there are shoes out there with better arch support, and shoes that are more durable, but they are more expensive.

These are very cute and also easy to get on. The soles are kind of thick and not very flexible, so I don't think I'd recommend them for a new walker. My boy is 2 and running around, and they're great for him. They have become our 'go to' shoe. They seem very durable and go with just about everything. Will probably purchase again in a larger size once he outgrows them.

Darn cute and nice quality sneakers. I ordered them for my 2 year old. His feet are on the narrow side. Sizing runs 1/2 size big compared to StrideRite.

I bought these for my toddler son. They seem to fit true to size and are super easy to put on. I love how cute they are, yet practical with the Velcro. They surprisingly clean up easily from dirt and mud.

Great kids shoes--hold up fairly well, even when worn nearly every day. (Both my kids love their Vans and don't want to wear any other shoes.) Easy on, easy off--look great with just about everything.

These are easy to get on and off. They even stay on really well. The sole of the shoe is pretty high but it didn't slow our little guy down at all.

My son is mild autistic and we find these shoes are very comfortable on him. We also like the converse but they are sometimes not as easy to find with Velcro. The black is sharp and can be for casual dress up.

I bought these Vans for my toddler in a size 7. They are perfect! They are very easy to put on and the velcro holds the shoe in place. They are wide enough for his chubby little feet and they look so cute on him. They look great with jeans or shorts. I would definitely recommend these shoes.

These were a great choice for my son with wider feet, and so far they're holding up really well despite heavy use.

Great shoes! Flexible yet sturdy. I bought two pairs of these for my 3 year old twin boys. I wanted the velcro for the ease of use and something that would hold up to their never ending running, jumping, and climbing. The price was fair and less then other shoes that were more for looks then function. These are great shoes that look cool too. Def recommended.

These sneakers work very well for our active and rather destructive toddler. He likes them so much, that he actually holds still for a moment as I put them on. Happily, they are easy to get on and off. They are also sturdy and protect his feet as he climbs, runs, jumps, and falls. I really enjoy how cute they look with all of his outfits. A very good purchase.

I love these shoes. They are easy to take on/off (my two year old can take them off himself; I can get them on him without wrestling), and they look cute, too. We have only had them about a month so I cannot speak to durability, but they seem to be holding up well so far.

I love the shoes for my kids. I originally bought these for my first kid when he was a toddler. He is 11 years old now and now my second kid is wearing the same kind and when my 10 month old starts walking he is going to have some, too. They match with all clothes so that really help and they are flat. I am not a foot expert (yes a podiatrist, I know) but I feel the flatness is pretty good for my kids.

These shoes are on point. They have the same classic waffle sole as the adult shoes, so they help my little guy shred the pool Dogtown style. Sure he started walking last week but he already leads his daycare in style and backside 50/50s. It is definitely because of the Vans. Funny thing- since he started wearing them daycare has complained that he's been screaming at a wall and that he is truly a small man, big mouth. They're seein red and don't wanna hear it. If they think I want to hear their sob story, think again. It follows that I'll be getting him a guitar to channel his new found energy and then he'll truly be a minor threat. Someday my little friend and I will look back and laugh!

Great, durable shoe for kids and adults. Bought two pair of these Vans for my boys. One of the few shoes out there that they will grow out of before they wear out.
