Customer Reviews Vans Kids Authentic Core (Toddler)

I LOVE them! They fit comfortably and look amazing on my son!??

This is my 3 year old's fourth pair of Vans. As many of you moms of boys know, the variety of cute shoes is often lacking when it comes to boys, so I have found Vans to be one of my favorite go-tos! I do prefer the slip on so I don't have to worry about the ties, but just had to have the red, which was only available in the lace up style. I love the fact that I can wash the cloth shoes with ease, although I will say the color on the brown seemed to fade considerably when I washed them. That really didn't bother me enough to keep me from buying another pair in that color when my son moved up a size. I will say that the shoes run big, so order a size smaller than needed. My son wears a 10 and I had to get a 9, although I may send the last pair back for 9.5 so we can get longer wear out of them. My son has very wide feet, which easily fit into the slip on version of Vans. I will say that we got the white color last year and the seams turned an odd shade of purple when I washed them. I called Zappos and they promptly sent me a new pair. When the shoes dried, the purple color disappeared.

So cute! I bought these for my 2 year old daughter and she loves them! I thought they were going to be to heavy and thick for her to walk good in, but they are perfect.

Needed white shoes for a summer wedding but could not find white shoes for a toddler in stores. Was so happy to find them online and Zappos got them to us right away. Thank you. Shoes were a perfect fit and looked great with the linen suit. It was exactly as the picture. He didn't mind wearing them through the wedding, reception and danced the night away...well at least until bedtime.

My 2 1/2 year old loves these. I feel like they have better traction than Chuck Taylor's too (although I love Converse). Great shoe!

These shoes are super cute on my 2 year old! He loves them too. They are really easy to put on and take off. They seem to be very comfortable for him, the sole is quite cushy. He's gotten a lot of compliments on them.

These shoes look so cute on my son that is 2. They go on easy unlike slip on Vans. We love them!

Love these shoes they are perfect for toddlers. They are easy to put on and they have enough space for chunky feet.

My toddler looks so adorable wearing these shoes I completely love them, great purchase!

I absolutely love these shoes. I bought them for my three year old to start preschool and he absolutely loves them as well. They are good quality shoes that last forever and since he has a younger brother these are perfect!

Vans are obviously doing something right! These are no exception. Being a skater I had to get these for my offspring. He loves them and they come just like the men's size version with the sweet vulcanize sole and the old school feel. I got a pair for myself so we are stunting together. If you want your kid shredding or just looking fresh these are a good option!

A great shoe and a great buy. They fit perfect, true to size. My toddler looks like a big boy in these shoes.

My 20 month old loves them. They look super cute with his more casual clothes and jeans. He has slightly chubby feet and these are not too tight.

Absolutely love these little red tennies. I think every little kid should have a pair at least once in their little lives. This is the second pair for my little girl.

These shoes are fantastic. They are sized correctly and hold up well to the toddler usage.

Great shoes, great price, classic style. Best of all was the fantastic Zappos customer service during the Christmas season. The shoes arrived within 48 hours. The shipping box was a cheerful Christmas box with a cute saying on the outside. Almost didn't want to wrap the shoes for my grandson. Love the shoes, love Zappos.com.

These are by far my favorite shoes in my 1 year old's closet. They run 1/2-1 size a bit big, but my son also has narrow feet too. But with a thicker pair of socks they are fine. I will continue to order Vans as he grows.

These shoes are perfect for our 2½ year old. Actually, these little Vans are the only shoes he's ever worn. We just buy one pair at a time until he grows out of them, and each time he gets a new color. Red and green are our favorites, but these blue ones were on sale, nice! Even his doctor said they are good for little ones. We highly recommend them!

Great shoe. Easy to walk in. Might want to go with the non laces version of this shoe only due to the fact that the little one might be trying to untie the laces all the time. Would buy again.

1st pair-Black/Blue Old Skool, 2nd-Black/White Old Skool, 3rd-Dinosaur Classic Slip-on, 4th-Blue Big Skool, 5th-Black Authentic, 6th-Pewter/Black Authentic, 7th-Ocean Blue Authentic, 8th-Cream Zapato Del Barco, and now the 9th-Dress Blue Authentic. I'll probably also get the Brown Authentic and Pewter Authentic for the Fall. We love these shoes! I order a size and a half larger so he can wear them longer and also order several pair at one time so he can have some at Grandmommy's and mommy's house.

These sneakers are amazing they go with all of my son\'s outfits. They are a great fit and he has no problem running around in them.

Wore these tennies when i was a kid, and 40 years later- I still wear them. Classic canvas tennis shoes that somehow never really go out of style. Now my niece in New York City has a little So Cal surf style to run around in.

I got these for my 4 year old son and they are really cute. The canvas is thinner than the canvas on the adults but i bought some time ago for a kid with the same canvas as that on the adults and it was way too stiff for little feet. They fade a little at the toes a little but vans look better broken in! Zappos is the best ever I have had only the best service from them!

My son is 5 years old and these are the only shoes he wears. They last a long time and go with everything. As you know, 5 year old boys are ever active. They're easy to put on and he loves them. He also enjoys picking out his next color!
