LOVE them! I'm not sure who likes them more, my son or me but they are great!! I was a little worried at first since he hadn't worn hi-tops before, thought they'd rub on his shin and he'd never wear them again if they hurt. I just didn't put the laces all the way to the very top hole and let him know that they will get softer after he wears them a couple of times...and he loved them!! No complaints at all about anything. He says they are really comfy and he can play sports in them: soccer, baseball, football and razors. And they are obviously the rockstar of shoes! He's only 6 but it's never too early to have them wear the cool stuff, right moms?
I'd also recommend:
all Van styles!!

Been waiting 5 years for vans to make this shoe!!! I love this shoe. I’ve been wearing it since I was a teenager myself. Now that I have a son, I wanted it for him too, but alas, they only made it for older kids...until now!!! I immediately snatched up two pair and they are great! Love them and they fit true to size and he says they are comfortable. Thanks Zappos!!!

I have always believed in getting quality shoes that will stand the test of a very active 8-year old boy. This seems to be the only brand shoe that can do it! My son's 2nd pair of Vans, only because he outgrew his old ones. I have purchased him Asics before. Those lasted for only a few months, although they offered better support than Vans. My son does have flat feet, so we did get him fitted for orthotics, as the only downfall with Vans is they do not have good arch support. Otherwise, the shoes itself can stand up to the abuse and have never ripped on him (older pair). Every other shoe we have bought for him since he could walk/run always developed holes from the rough housing! Great durable shoe, cool-looking, but needs better arch support, which can be complemented by a good pair of orthotics (if needed).

My eight year old son selected these shoes, and was thrilled when they arrived so quickly (thanks Zappos!). However, they have been very difficult for him to put on and take off, so we've had to resort to not using the top three lace holes, and keep the laces very loose. Meanwhile, the leather has torn away from the lace holes, which is disappointing, after only a month of use. But we do like how they look.

Bought these for my nephew to wear in a wedding & he loves them. He hasn't taken them off since he got them. They are durable for a young boy & he hasn't complained that they hurt his feet (and he would if they did). All in all, a great pair for a little one.

These shoes are comfortable and built to last. My son loves the robotic, dinosaur design & especially loves putting them on by himself with the back zipper.

We bought these to go with my daughter's Halloween costume, but they can be worn for other purposes. They are so pretty. My daughter loves them.

This was for my 4 year old grandson and he loves them. The only thing that I can mention is that he has wide feet and it is difficult at times for him to put his shoes on.

Great shoes! My son has multiple pairs and as he is growing, we just stick to buying him Vans. I like the dark colors because boys love to get dirty .

My 3 y/o absolutely loves this Sk8-Hi shoe, it's her "go-to" shoe. I'd recommend going up a full-size up when purchasing. They run a little small.

I want to thank Vans for making a shoe that is very inclusive. I'm not sure if they added the zip in larger sizes for people with developmental and other physical disabilities, but our family loves these shoes for that reason and they are also stylish. Our son is visually impaired and struggles with getting shoes on. These are so easy to put on, but they don't look any different than the other awesome Vans' styles. They also offer great support for any active person. We love this company!

Shimmer and Shine! But beware sizing is off. My daughter (Almost 6y/o) loves her new shoes. Love the tie and zipper options. Love the shimmer and shine! Only downfall with Vans is the size chart is way off (too small). We followed Vans sizing instructions and the shoes we ordered accordingly, were too small. My daughter has two different sized feet at the moment. We measured both. The left foot was 6 3/4" OR 17.15cm. We selected 17.5cm on Vans, which suggested SZ 12. The right foot was 6 1/2" OR 16.51cm. We selected 16.5cm on Vans, which suggested SZ 10.5-11. We've ran into this problem in the past with Vans measurements. Thankfully we ordered 2 different sizes just in case (SZ 12 & 12.5). But we shouldn't have to do that if we follow the size chart. The SZ 12 was too small. The 12.5 fit her great. Vans, please update your size chart and change the "cm" to "in". It would make purchasing a whole lot easier.

Got these for my grandson. He loves them. The side zipper is unique and seems easier for him than the back zipper. Can't wait to see his face the first they glow.

This shoe was super cute and amazing that it included ribbon and regular shoe laces. They were even cuter in person.
