My son tried these and loved the way they looked, but they were very stiff and hurt his feet. We had to return them, unfortunately.

I wanted my son to love these shoes because we are fans of Vans and they were so cute for him (I'm sure at age 4 he prefers the term "cool"). But they were just too small, narrow, and rigid. At first we exchanged for a bigger size and attempted breaking them in for a day but to no avail. We ended up with Converse instead and we love them. ??

This shoe looks great and my son really wanted to wear them, but they were stiff and a little bit narrow for his comfort.

First off, I ordered a half size up bc people said they ran small, they do not! They are perfect. Thankfully my kiddo's feet had grown and they fit (ish). These were super cute and I wanted my little guy (7yo) to love them too but he just couldn't deal with the stiff ankle/heel. He wore them around the house for a few days and finally decided to send them back because they were so uncomfortable. I tried to soften the backs a bit but no luck. They are so cute on him and I wanted him to keep them but alas, they are too uncomfortable.

My five year old is in lovewith these shoes but sadly, they just don't fit him. They are too narrow. I wish Zappos offered them in wide. Super cute but going back.

We had to return these. They are so cute but my son complained that they hurt his heel and they are very stiff. The video describes them as super flexible but they are not flexible at all!

These have my son a huge blister on the back of his Achilles the first time he wore them. I'm getting some sticky pads to line them. It's not at the very top as you may expect - there's an extra bump in the middle of the back of the shoe. If no one else has the problem, it's likely it's a flaw on this one shoe. They're good looking shoes and easy to put on.

These have become more of a going out type of shoe for my 6 year old. Definitely not for school, as the suede wears out very quick.

Very cool looking, but so hard to put on. My kid has always worn converse and those are narrow but he breaks them in and it's good. So I thought vans would be better and easier. I was sad that they are harder. My sons Occupational Therapist said she dreads it when kids wear them because they are the hardest to get on.

Purchased these for the second time for my toddler, however this time arrow the back of the shoe seemed to be much narrower than before, and gave her blisters on the back of her foot. I always purchase a 1/2 size bigger so length wise they fit fine, it’s just the heel part.

Second pair I ordered. First pair was a toddler ten. Went up to little kid size 10.5 and these were actually smaller than the toddler size. Will be returning and hopefully the 11 will fit. Fingers crossed.

I have ordered these shoes in the past. They were awesome..this time.. they are garbage. The previous pair were the ones made in china.. those are the awesome ones.. these which i received and have returned 2 sizes are made in Vietnam.. and are significantly lesser quality. The toe box is flat.. they don't fit correctly, and one pair had a wrinkle in the insole.. I'm going to try the other seller which is $45 US.. hoping they are genuine and made to Van's specs. Honestly..im not keeping my fingers crossed..

The shoes are great, but the Velcro is absolute junk. The rest of the shoe has held up fine, but I’m not sure how they are going to stay on. I’m annoyed to go through the hassle of returning after having them for 6 weeks.

They were cute and fit fine, however I bought them for back to school in September 2016, and I am already looking to buy new shoes. I have superglued the velcro flaps down because the top layer has popped off from the velcro, and now they have even popped off again. The outer edge around the bottom of the shoe is becoming separated from the outer lining. They are just ready to fall apart. I thought they were adorable and he he liked them too. He actually doesn't even want new shoes! (He's 5), but they are about to fall out. Great for about 2 months, or if just worn on occasion. Not made for an everyday shoe.

Bummer, the left shoe's soul is separating around the edges in 3 places after 15 days of mild use, defective for sure.

These are way too narrow. I love the style of these shoes, but my son - who does not have wide feet - could hardly get them on and then said they hurt his feet. I wanted him to like these so much, but back to the drawing board.

The Velcro straps don't come for 11,5 size shoes and they are extremely uncomfortable to put on. My son refuses to wear them.

These are so stiff I am unable to even break them in. The toung is rubbing at my daughters leg and hurting her. We've broken them in the best we can but they are rubbing her the wrong way. They are narrow and just all around uncomfortable. I would return them if I could. I absolutely hate these shoes. And since they are velcro I can't fix where the toung is hitting.
