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

My 6-year-old daughter has been wearing these for the last 3 years and loves them. Her feet get dirty because of the holes, but I still like them for summer because they protect her toes when she is skateboarding and such, and I can just wash them in the sink (her feet and the shoes. Ha!). My 2-year-old got her first pair this year and got bleeding blisters on the sides of both feet! Not sure why, but of course Zappos took care of me and allowed me to return them even though they were worn. Bummed because now I need to find her dif summer shoes.

these shoes are very cute and light. they run very large. i wish they came in half sizes . i went a full size down.

Super cute and I love that it's easy enough for my 5 year old to put on himself. They do definitely run big, so he is wearing them with socks until he grows into them a little more. But great for where we live in Southern California, easy to rinse off from sand, and just spray down with vinegar when they start to smell.

These are super cute but are more than a full size too big. My son wears size 12 GEox sneakers and the Size 12 Natives look to be 2 sizes to big.

These are adorable but not great for toddler with a thicker foot. The thickness of his foot hasn’t prevented him from wearing other shoes in the past but these were tight around is foot. He enjoys wearing shoes but these would bother him if he was just sitting in them. Just wish either more flexible material or option for wider/thicker toddler foot.

These are very cute and friends’ kids love them. But they aren’t great for kids with high arches. My son had marks across the top of his foot and didn’t like wearing them.

My 3 yr old loves these shoes! Easy to slip on and easy to clean. Definitely run a little big.

ADORABLE shoes. Sadly, my son's feet are too wide for them so we have to return. Unfortunate that they only come in medium width. Otherwise, love how lightweight and cute they are!

My daughter loves them. They are easy to clean and durable.

I love the style of these shoes so much but they gave my 2 year old blisters! His chubby feet barely fit in the shoe and the width just did not work. Luckily Zappos is awesome and refunded us!

I love these shoes! They are cute, easy to clean and seem the perfect solution to toddler summers - can go in the water, holes make for air flow, lightweight, they don't stink, etc. I actually rinse them off daily to get all the mud and dirt off as my toddler seems to find all the grossness out there. They wash clean easily in our sink and dry quickly. My toddler wears them, but only after asking about all his other shoes first. I've had to physically remove his other shoes from our mudroom so he thinks these are the only option. He puts them on with no fighting and, once on, he runs and plays with no issues so I don't think they bother him at all. Maybe just not as comfortable as his Keens or sneakers.

Had to go down a full size, runs big. My 5 year old loves these - he wears them at the beach & to run around & bike. His feet do get pretty dirty in them, but he doesn’t mind. Great summer show for an active kid

I decided to finally try these shoes after seeing them everywhere, and I gotta say - I get the hype! They're very lightweight, have a flexible sole and easy to work with (easy for us to put on my son and easy for him to put on himself). I feel that they run exactly true to size. My son is about to size out of toddler 8 shoes into 8.5 in other brands, but since this brand doesn't offer half sizes, he's in an 8 for now. I also ordered a 9 and they're far too big for him to safely wear right now. The 8s seem to work ok for now but his big toes are nearly at the end. So I do wish they offered half sizes but since this is an occasional use shoe for us, it's not a huge deal. So far we've used these shoes for playing outside and playtime involving water. They're easy to wash off, but I will say that after one use in a sandbox they already looked a little dingy/beat up on the toe area even after I washed them. So I'm not sure how great they'll look in a couple weeks, but they're a nice go-to playtime shoe!

The sneakers are really cute. THey worked for one of my daughters but for the other they were too wide and slipping off. SoIng down was too tight. We ended up trying the Mary Jane style in this shoe and they worked better for her.

Love these

My kid kept tripping in another brand of rubber shoes, but he's seems much more stable in these. And they're cuter. Win-win. It's hard to say if they're comfortable, but he doesn't complain so I think they're OK.

These run a little small, so get a size up. My son loves them, although they are not really the height of fashion. :)

My daughter loves these shoes! They’re a tad big on her, but they’re not falling off of her. She loves the color green so these are perfect for her. We’re mainly using them for when she goes to and from the pool. So far so good! (I’m thinking of ordering some myself!)

I love the way these shoes look. Most kids in my neighborhood have them, but I was shocked at how they fit my toddler's feet. He wore them for about 15 minutes and when I took them off, his little toddler feet were swollen and covered with dot marks. I can't imagine that was all that comfortable. It's possible his feet are just too wide for this style, but I was surprised nonetheless.

I wanted to keep these so badly. They are cute and affordable, but my son has a very wide foot and this style just doesn’t work for him. I have been told the Miller style is better for a wide foot so we will try that next. I do love Zappos though- was able to try and send back with no problem!

We love these shoes. WARNING. They warp in the sun! My son left them on the porch in moderate weather for half a day and they warped and were unwearable. Luckily Zappos is awesome and replaced them for me. They’re great, but keep them out of the sun when not in use.

This is a overall a good shoe for my active 2.5 year old boy. Pros: Easy to clean, cute looks. Cons: Must be worn with socks (to prevent blistering) and he needs help putting them on because it is a bit difficult fitting them over his heel.

If you don’t want your kid’s feet to be sweaty like hell these are not for you.

These are super cute shoes. They take some time for my toddler to adjust to when we put them on because of the texture in the bottom, but that’s probably him just being weird. They are good for running around outside, but he wouldn’t wear them for longer adventures involving a lot of walking.

My daughter loves these! We ordered a size 12 and they were a bit too big so got an 11 and they were too small. Tough if you're in between sizes. We kept the 12's and though they are a bit big, no blisters!
