Love these! Not only are they totally cute and stylish but they are so easy for my 3 year old to put on himself! He has wider feet so I was a little nervous as they only came in medium but they have a great fit-not too narrow and not to wide. I will probably purchase more in another color-we are totally satisfied with this shoe!

Perfect for kids with wide feet - All the Vans shoes with this style are great for kids with wide feet. The tapered toe shoes would hurt my daughter’s foot, but the Vans are nice and wide! They are also well made - these are the only shoes I buy for her now.

Awesome little shoes - These are really the best sneakers for a toddler. They have good support, they are sturdy, they wash, and the child can get them on and off easily. The velcro lasts too, does not lose its stick.

Sneakers for my 3 year old son - These sneakers are very cute. I cannot rate the comfort as I am not wearing them and my son has yet to wear them for any length of time. The sizing seemed a bit challenging. The 91/2 seemed a bit too tight and the 10 seemed pretty big. I am keeping the 10's and hope that they will last for a bit. You've got to love the velcro when putting on shoes for your 3 year old boy.

Awesome - The shoes are awesome. A little heavy, but if the child is not walking they are great.

These are great. I like them because they have a nice wide toe-box and don't pinch my toddler’s toes -- it also makes them easy to get off and on. They are great for summer because the canvas is lightweight. The velcro is more practical than laces and my son will soon be able to put them on by himself. Plus, they are super cute.

Love the Toddler Vans - My toddler loves his Vans... this is his second pair. They are a little wider than most shoes - as most skateboarding shoes are - but that makes them easier to get on!

Great - My son has really wide feet, double wide actually. Only velcro shoes fit him. These shoes are great! He loves the design and he can now put them on an off himself, at 3!

So cute! Ordered the spaceship Vans for my 2 year old- he absolutely loved them. They fit well but seem to run a little wide. The velcro makes it easy to adjust and a huge plus is that he can put them on himself!

Now my 2 year old has COOL shoes like his sister! Love them. Fit is excellent. They did not have such a great selection at the local Vans store. Durable, great fit. My son loves the rockets and planets on the shoes. He was always envious of his sister’s colorful shoes. Great service, shipping, selection!

3 Year old son like his cool shoes - My 3 year old son likes his new space rocket shoes. He likes the canvas shoes better than the chunkier leather shoes. These seem to run big though so at the moment he is tripping on them quite a bit. He still chooses these to wear. My other preference would be the Stride Rite shoes but they are a lot more expensive.

"Look! I put on shoes all by self!" Our 2 year old son absolutely loves his vans. They make him feel like a big kid because he can put them on all by himself. Not to mention they are like some that daddy has too. He also loves to show off the "skeletons" (really they're skulls) to all of our friends. This is his 6th pair of Vans; he won't wear anything else! It makes it easy on us though. The fit is so great; we always know to order the next size when the current ones get too small.

Van's Kid's BIG SCHOOL - Great looking shoe! I felt it ran a little larger than marked - Also runs narrow. For an extra wide foot would not work. Other than that...GREAT SHOE!!

Vans are the BEST kids shoes! Not only are these Vans adorable, but they are so easy to get on my little guys feet because of the velcro! Finally a "cool" shoe with the ease of velcro. My boys are the cutest, hippest kids around. Not to mention, they love them too. (3 year old & 1 1/2 year old). Attention Vans - Please make these in more colors!!

A fan favorite of my 3 year old and mom! This is our second pair - It was his favorite last fall and again the only pair he wants to wear this fall. Comfy, easy for him to get on and off himself and super cute!

These are our 2nd pair of these Vans. They've actually improved the design -- the straps are more sturdily constructed, making it easier for my son to put them on himself. (He's almost 4.) We were purchasing the Converse shoes just like this but I think I like these better. Sturdier straps and better toe for a kid who rides a run bike and is constantly dragging his feet to brake. They do seem to run a little large but the half sizes compensate for that nicely.

First of all, Zappos customer service is awesome! I wanted to make sure I'd have these in time for Easter and they made it happen! Plus, no shipping costs or tax? You can't even buy these shoes from vans.com without shipping and tax! Second, my three year old is a little rocker and he is too cool for school in these shoes. He loves that they look like mommy's shoes and a month later is still showing everyone his new shoes. :)

Very cute and very true to size. Nice to have something between a 5-6 for my 18 month old. It's been a struggle to find good shoes for him to play in that aren't too big or too small. He never tried to take these off which is a great sign that they are comfortable to play in!

I was hesitant to order shoes online, but with Zappos you can't go wrong. I figured I could just send them back...you won't do that with these! I ordered them for my 14 month old who has wide and tall (fat) feet. It was impossible to find anything here locally. Anything I could find was a struggle to get on and stay on. These are way easy to get on, stay on, and are so flippin' cute! My toddler loves them and I love that they fit!
