Customer Reviews Vans Kids Authentic (Little Kid/Big Kid)

These ran big. My daughter wears a 2 and she wore a 1 in these. The shoes are really cute and I think comfortable for her, but the band of the sole that runs around the shoe began to separate from the shoe after only a few weeks not to mention the glitter didn't last long either.

Unless you want to spend hours GUESSING what size your child wears in this particular shoe, don't bother buying this one. My daughter currently wears size 1.5 shoe in Vans and the 1.5 didn't fit so we ordered 2.5 and that STILL was too small. It's anyone's guess what sizing they're using on this particular shoe. Zappos exchanged the first set of shoes for the 2.5 size but when those didn't fit, I have to start ALL OVER.

Cute, stylish sneakers for a little girl! Really love the tread and easy to clean.

Perfect

Got these for my 6yo who loves anything unicorn right now. They're super cute and she says they are comfortable. It's a bit of a challenge to get them on as the opening is small, and she needs help to get her heel in properly (w/o the back of the shoe folding in on itself) but once they're on, she's set. Great shoes for those kids who want to practice their tying skills too!

Nothing beats the classics with a modern twist.

Very good and fun shoe! My daughter loved it

After reading the reviews of this shoe running a little big i went with a size 4.5 instead of 5 and they fit perfect for my daughter. She LOVES the design and color.

This is a classic shoe, but seems to run small. My daughter loves them!

My daughter loves these shoes for school and everyday. The sparkly pink just adds to the appeal. I like that they are easy to wear for her, she will willingly tie her shoes (no slip ons for her now) and she can show a bit of her personality in her shoes. She loves Vans, the color options and prints. I wish the Snoopy ones came with laces...she would love those as well.

Love these shoes!

My 7 year old isn’t too girly, but she really liked these shoes. They are bright pink & the glitter makes them look a “little fancy”. Definitely a good purchase! Also excellent customer service from Zappos!

Darling shoes. They do run large, (compared to the regular slip on Vans), and had to return for that reason.

Comfortable and very strudy for little kids.

My daughter wanted shoes like her big sister and both of my girls love their Vans! I like that the soles have grip and do not have that fuzzy/felt stuff that other brands are using.

I kept my eye on these for quite awhile and finally pulled the trigger when they went on sale....I only wish I'd gotten them earlier! I get so many compliments when I wear them and they're perfect for summer (these are perfect to pair with Lilly Pulitzer knit dresses). The colors are bright without being obnoxious and the graphics are very clear and concise.

Whoa. Don't know how people can say these shoes run large. I ordered a pair over the weekend for my 12 year old. She has officially outgrown her size 2 Converse, and I wanted to change it up for her this summer. Based on the 'runs large' reviews, I ordered her a 2.5 thinking if they run large, we'd be jumping up a full size from her old shoes. As soon as I opened the box, I knew I'd made a mistake. They looked so small, I compared them to her old size 2 Cons and the sole is a good 3/4"-1" shorter than the Converse. I had her try them on just to be sure, and barefoot her toe is pushing the front of the shoe. Zappos is wonderful. and not 30 min after getting them, I have already completed the exchange and expect the size 3.5 to be here in 48 hours. They are SUPER cute, and she and I can't wait for the correct size to get here so she can wear them!

Very cute print, my daughter was happy with them. I don't expect them to last very long though, vans always seem to get beat up very quickly,

Ordered these classics for my 7 year old. No complaints - she likes them! Had to return for the next 1/2 size up though, but Zappos makes that process easy.

Purchasing this sneaker is a complete toss up judging from the reviews. Some lucked out others were in dismay. Im in dismay. Our daughther wears size 3 and these Vans she couldnt even get her foot in. Her converse size 2 1/2 fit fine because everyone knows to order them smaller size. These adorable Vans with the strawberry must be refunded. They're unavailable past 3. Oh well good luck with yours.

Get product from vans as always. I bought them for my wedding, I usually wear an 8.5 in women's, and I bought a 6 in kids. I would not suggests doing so. They fit tight as expected, so they were good for the couple of hours that I needed them for.

My daughter loved the glitter on these shoes. She said they were a bit stiff at first but wore them a bit at home and they were fine. She currently wears a size 12 and these fit her right.

Nice and durable!!

My daughters both love these and the fun patterns they each picked. Great spring and summer shoe!

My daughter loves these! The gray is an awesome neutral and the little heart eyelets are a nice and girly touch.
