Customer Reviews Native Shoes Kids Jefferson Slip-on Sneakers (Toddler/Little Kid)

My long time Croc wearing son picked these Natives and loves them. They are less bulky but are still easy to put on. They will be go-to shoes for water days at camp (which required closed toe shoes) and will dry faster than his Keens. These are a keeper and will be passed to his sister next year!

My four-year old son loves these shoes! They're easy for him to get on and off; he can run and climb comfortably; and he can splash puddles without his shoes getting soggy.

Awesome shoe for my 2.5 YO! Easy for him to put on himself. We wear them with no show socks mostly, but even when we do barefoot they don't get stinky.

Love these for my 4 boys. They are easy to put on and even easier for me to clean! Giving 4 stars only because one of my boys got blisters, but the rest were fine.

We ordered these for our 4 year old son and he loves them. We live in Texas and needed a shoe that was lightweight, breathable and water proof. These are perfect and they look good too. He even wears them to ride his bike, play at the park, wear to church, etc. they can be worn with casual or sporty attire.

My kid's feet stink, so I bought these shoes. (Also, I saw a "cool kid" at the Ritz-Carlton wearing them.) So far, no stink. And looking as cool as a cucumber in the process. These do seem a tad wide, so just a note. Skip socks and you should be fine. Excellent summer shoes!

My son wears a size 2 in Nike Tennis shoes, I had to order a size 13. They ran 2 sizes too big for us but the 13 worked and we love the shoes!

My four year old loves these shoes! He has very wide feet and typically we can only buy Stride Rites in wide. But the sandal selection in wide is limited (and some quite unattractive). I decided to give these a try as shoes for the beach and pool. They fit great, are cute, and comfortable! What more can you want? We did have to send the originals back and get a size down.

My six year old lives in his Crocs during the summer. I purchased these for the transition between spring and summer and he loves them! Wears them every day! Great purchase. Looking to buy more colors.

I love the natives for kids to wear and play in during the summer. This style runs a full size large so my child needs a size 10 for size 11 feet.

One of the best purchases I have made for my son. He is 16 months old and loves splashing in the puddles as much as the next toddler. These are perfect for outdoor play and easy to slip on and off. I love that I can easily rinse them off, and so far they have lived up to their claim of not becoming smelly. Once he outgrows them, I will definitely be purchasing a new pair.

Kids get many compliments wearing these shoes. Orange really stands out in a good way. Easy on and off for the kids.

These shoes are absolutely the best! They have all kinds of uses. They can be used as water shoes, playing in the park or just hanging around the house. They do run 1/2 size big.

The best. Our boys get a new pair of these every summer. They're comfy, great with socks and without (instead of sandals). Love these.

Great shoes for kids, we now prefer them over Crocs, same idea but a little less chunky. The holes are smaller too, so less rocks getting in when wading in the river, at the park, etc. Great product, we're converts!

I bought these because my 2 year old hates shoes. The only ones he would wear were some ugly spiderman rain boots. I bought these because I wanted something as comfortable as crocs, but not as ugly. He LOVES these! He can put them on himself. They protect his little toes while he's running & playing so I don't have to worry about him getting hurt. They are great quality & easy to clean. He can wear socks with them, but of course he never wants to. When they came in the mail, him & my 3 year old were fighting over them. We now have 3 pairs. 2 green & 1 blue. I would HIGHLY recommend these.

It's a great summer shoe for active kids. You get the coolness of a sandal, the protection of a sneaker, and the ease and comfort of a Croc all with great style (and choice of colors)! You can't go wrong with this shoe. I'm so glad Natives are back!

Great! These are my 5 year old's favorite shoes...and he normally hates wearing shoes. Easy on and off and they stay on his feet. Super cute and versatile. Love these shoes.

I had my son try them on and wear them around the house a bit. They gave him a blister on the back of his ankle right away. Bummed. I was looking for a shoe for the pool/backyard that was a flip flop style.

These are the perfect toddler/kid summer play shoe. My kid beats these up every summer and they wash nicely. For us, they run true to size.

Arrived without a box—I’ve never purchased a pair of natives that didn’t come in a box before—online or in a retail store. They were delivered in a plastic bag—it was strange, almost seemed like repackaged return but I paid full price.

My 2 year old lived in Natives last summer, but they don’t fit her foot this year. Most of her shoes are size 6, but we have a few 5.5 options that still fit. I ordered 3 pairs of Natives in a size 6. One pair is so tight across the bridge that I couldn’t get it on. The other pairs go on but leave indentions and red marks on the top of her feet within minutes. There’s plenty of room in the length but the tongue/bridge is way too tight. I ordered a size 7 just to double check and it falls off her foot. Too big as expected. My daughter is 25 months and in the 25% for height/weight. Her feet aren’t particularly chubby. The boxes I received say that the shoes were made in china. I read a lot of reviews that say the china made shoes are fakes and authentic Natives are “Made with love in Vietnam.” I have no idea if that’s true, but I find it hard to believe that Zappos sent me a bunch of knock offs. I guess stranger things have happened, though. Anyway, I had to return all of the Natives. I ended up buying alternative options from Skechers, Target, and Crocs. None are as cute but they fit and she’s comfortable and that’s what’s important.

Bought for grand daughter. She is running around. Lots of wear and tear. Looks like a winner!

I buy these for both of my girls every summer. They are comfy, sturdy shoes that are perfect for days playing around water. They're breathable so they're great for little sweaty feet, and they're easy to wipe clean. They'll look great all summer if you wipe them down every night, and for more stubborn scuffs, a magic eraser always does the trick!
