Looking for an easy good looking shoe... this is it - Vans quality, velcro ease... love them especially for my 2.5 year old who's new found love is removing his shoes every time we're in the car. These make it simple to get 'em back on & go.

Great shoes for my 4 year old - I am just amazed over and over how quickly my shoes ship when I order from Zappos! These shoes are even cuter in person than they are online. They are the perfect fit and they are easy for my son to put on and take off. Great shoes!

PERFECT for my toddler! My little guy (19 months) has a wide instep so putting on shoes in general can be a challenge. But not these! They look fantastic and are easy to put on. Great shoe! Great buy!

Mother of four active kids!!! Really cool shoes!!! I got these shoes for my 2 year old twins. A boy and a girl and also for my 4 year old boy. They love these shoes and they are so easy to put on that they do it themselves. They do run half a size bigger, but it's okay because they will last longer. The shipping was GREAT!!! I do a lot of online shopping and this was the fastest standard shipping I've ever gotten. Oh, by the way, I got the blue and pink shoes.

Got this shoe for our 13 month old and absolutely love it! We were tired of struggling to get his fat little feet into traditional baby shoes (Nike, Robeez Tredz, Stride Rite, etc.) and then trying to uncurl his toes. His older brothers have Vans, so we thought, why not for baby too? The velcro allows you to open the shoe wide up (I'd advise against slip ons at this age) and slip fat little feet inside easily. They feel pretty true to size and are absolutely adorable. Will definitely order more as he grows; especially from Zappos. Ordered at 4:30pm and arrived at 1pm the next day. Wow! Our family loves Zappos and Vans!

Easy on and easy to clean - Great for an active toddler - easy on and easy to clean up in the washer. Great for climbing, running and general wear around. A bit more substantial/heavier than Converse but easier on/off due to the velcro.

Converse sneakers

Perfect little shoe. Fits well, she can put it on herself, and it stays on. Best feature (according to her) is that we got the same shoe in big sister's size and in Daddy's size so they can all match.

Ecco fits little feet that are slender, not pudgy, nicely.

Really fun - I love this shoe. It is so cute. Such a boys shoe. Even my picky husband liked it. Because of the velcro it is easy to put on my toddler.

Brady's Checker Shoes - I love Vans for my kids & husband. They are a little "flat" as far as arch support but my kids like them & have NO Complaints. They are always hip w/ their awesome fabrics.

Perfect for wide toddler feet! We had a hard find wide shoes that were stylish for our little boy and this fit the bill. He is learning how to put them on himself and the shoes are really cute.

Very cute shoe - Well the shoes are very cute and are good quality you would expect with Vans. They are a good fit for his wide feet and he can close the velcro all the way. I would recommend these if you child has wide feet.
I'd also recommend:
Stride Rite shoes in the wide width.

Cute shoe! My 3.5 year old loves to wear his Vans! They look so cute on and seem very comfortable. My son usually wears a wide, but after reading the reviews I felt comfortable ordering him the Vans and they seem plenty wide! The velcro is an added bonus- easy for him to get these on and off! I will order again!

KILLER KID’S SHOES - My daughter loves these shoes. They are easy to take on and off and they fit her little feet perfectly. Most shoes are too narrow even though she doesn't have extra wide or thick feet. She is 16 months and can walk really well in them. I highly recommend them, especially since they are so cute.

Coolest 2 year old around - These shoes are great!! This is now my 2nd pair, first pair got too small. These are easy on/off, fashionably awesome, and fit a toddler great. He also LOVES them. I recommend them for any toddler of a Vans lover.

Wow is the only word I can think of to describe the service that I have received from Zappos. Everything down to the size and shipment was GREAT. My nephew loves his new kicks and every time he sees me head into the computer room he runs and gets his ultra cute Vans and screams Zappos! Thanks for the great service and putting a smile on my nephew’s face :)

Love these! So cute on my toddler. However the bottom velcro strap on one of the shoes is very short and doest fasten all the way. Still a cute shoe though

These shoes are wearing very well. They\'re light and easy to put on and take off, which is good for summer and little hands. I\'m not sure how durable they will be because the canvas is a little thin, but the soles are very sturdy. I\'d definitely buy these again!

This shoe is easy to get on which is key for my almost 3 year old boy. We've had trouble with Converse shoes in the past getting the heel on but not with these. He can put on his shoes by himself and velcro the straps closed. The velcro straps are a little long and hang over the edge slightly. The white cap on the front has a decorative black stripe on the edge which has already worn off after 1 month of wearing. But that could be due to my little guy playing on carpet all day where he has his feet tucked under him. The knees on his pants are all worn/torn too! Overall a cool looking shoe that gives him confidence in dressing himself.

Good Look for Little Feet - These are great shoes. My son love to wear them, and they are very easy to put on. They do run a size big. The style is great too.

Sizes jump - I ordered a size 5 less than a year ago for my son to grow into, they recently became too tight so I ordered a size 6 for him to again grow into and they were huge. I love the shoes though and will order again.
