Love every bit but my daughter complained about a bit of discomfort around ankle area, I think the material that curves up near the ankle on the back on the shoe may be be too stiff for the little ones.

Order 1-2 sizes down from what they recommended on sizing chart. Shoes are nice! But won't be able to wear for a while, I ordered another pair1.5 sizes down and there is room to grow.

The size chart is incorrect. Better to try them before buying or size down for a 0.5-1 size. Nice and cute.

We're a Vans family so no brainer getting a couple pairs for our growing boy. We measured his foot and compared to their size chart, rounded up to the next size so he'd have a little room to grow. Bought two pairs and they are HUGE! Measured the shoe and it's 3cm longer than what's stated on the size chart. Ordered another pair a full size smaller (measurement stated was less than what his foot measures) and it's still too big. We're saving them for when he grows into them, but it'll be a while. Love Vans, but be warned you'll probably want to go at least 2 sizes down from the size chart if you want them to fit now.

I love the quality of these and really like the Velcro. Easy on for our toddler but he can't take them off easily (which is a plus). I wish the price point was better for this age group because their feet grow so quickly and we would buy multiple pairs.

Super cute BUT vertically not spacious enough and very difficult to put on because of the stiff heel. Perhaps for the same reason, the shoe's stiff rear also irritates the back of the ankle. Only Vans shoes to this to my toddler so perhaps they need to go back to the measuring board.

Our son wore these for his first day at a new school 7/15, by October 1st they were falling apart (see images). He only wears them to school. The vans of my youth could hold up to the blacktop, not so for this generation.

So cute & well made. Bought this shoe when my son grew out of his other "Old Skool V Shoes" (size 5.5) - went up .5 sizes to a 6.0 and it fit as tight as the 5.5s. Basically threw my $$ away b/c he couldn't wear them. The size is inconsistent (smaller) compared to other Vans toddler shoes (specifically the Old Skool V Shoe, Sk8-Hi Zip Shoe & the Sk8-Mid Reissue V MTE-1 shoe).

I try to buy APMA certified shoes that are better for kids growing feet but See Kai Run fall apart after one month and Vans hold up for months, which is needed since my kids' feet grow pretty slow. These are so cute, I just wish they would design them for toddler feet instead of just sizing down adult shoes.

Love the look. Super cute! My toddler loves them too. Only complaint is the sparkles causes the shoes to be very rigid. Makes it difficult to put the shoes on my daughter which already can be a difficult battle depending on her mood.

My kids have worn these for about a week and there are large sections where the glitter has rubbed off.

The shoes came in looking extremely worn? Maybe I did not understand the color/wash would appear vintage but the fabric looks like it has seen better days and the inside already has balled lint as if they have been worm for a while. The velcro straps are also looking worn, the way velcro collects lint knots? My child has not even worn these yet. They are to be a gift for his upcoming birthday but I am on the fence in keeping these.

These are cute shoes for my toddler. I understand toddlers are rough on their shoes but we've had them less than a month (do not wear them everyday) and the suede is already separating from the Velcro. Disappointed. I'm going to have to figure out a way to glue/tack it back together

They are so cute for my granddaughter , however glitter rubs off easily. Plan to see glitter on clothes and toys. Got size 2.5 true to size.

Finish started cracking on the sunset fade lilas after one wear. I don't bother buying the glitter ones anymore, bc the glitter wears off, but not as quickly as the finish on these did, which I was not expecting. Sad. Basically feels like you can't order any fancy looking vans without expected that they won't last.

3 stars because they're cute and my kid loves that he has "real skater shoes." Unfortunately, after spending a morning scootering around the local skate park, he's nearly worn through the rubber on the toe. I bought Vans thinking they would be more durable for that sort of activity, so maybe that was a misconception.

These sizes trip me out. My toddler has 7.5 so i purchased an 8 since he is growing and his 7.5 is bigger. I ordered a 9 and its the same as the 7.5

The shoe doesn't exactly look like the picture. It's missing the white sidestripe that symbolizes the old school vans. Why? Overall the shoe is ok.
