Nice looking shoe but my son only wore the shoe twice and one of the zippers in the back came off. Outside of that the shoe is nice

My daughter loved this pair of shoes except for the fact that she couldn't run in them because they had too small of an arch. Please keep that in mind if looking to buy.

I bought these for my 4 year old son. They're very stylish and they look so cute with skinny jeans my only complaint is that they faded way too fast. He goes to school and plays on the playground where there's sand and after a few times wearing the black ones they faded ... over all nice shoe.

My son loves these. Th only problem we have is with the zipper. Within a week the zipper on one shoe became stuck and was impossible to zip up or down. He has worn them half zipped from that point. We were hoping they were going to be easy to get on and off, but they are not any easier than usual high tops, even when the zipper worked.

Love these on my little guy. Super trendy. Can be tough for little ones to get on and off by themselves but I loosened laces so he could slip them on and zip up the back.

Overall the look and style of these are great! I'm not sure what to think about the sizing, however. We went to a local shop to try some Vans on my son (his first pair so I wanted to be sure before I ordered these hard to find high tops from Zappos). He fit into the 2.5 (low top/classic Vans) perfect at the store. Well the 2.5 in these were tight (too short - his toe hit the top with no wiggle room/no room to grow). So thinking it was due to being a different type of shoe, I ordered the size 3 from Zappos. The 3 fits the exact same way! When we put the shoes up sole to sole there appears to be only a slight difference in the length of the shoe. So now I'm really confused about what to think. I'm not sure if we happened to get a bad pair where the size was mismarked or if there truly is only a hair of a difference from 2.5 to 3. Thank God (!) Zappos has such a great return policy because I'm now going to order my 3rd pair (size 3.5). My son loves these and we really want them to work for him. Crossing my fingers the 3.5 works!

Omg ! I love vans but they just run so small. No made for wide feet. My daughter is 12.5, had to go up to a 13.5.

I had gotten my son a pair of vans high tops second hand size eleven toddler. They were great solid and durable. I thought the new pair would be the same. Not so. They feel like knock-offs.

I love the Sk8-HI! This particular pair fits different. Go up in size. Very tight with socks. Have not had this issue with any other purchases of this type. The laces are very pretty and durable despite the material.

These seems well made and my 6 yo just wears them for skateboarding. Butthey are extremely hard to put on his feet. Must loosen laces quite a bit.

These are more of a pastel sky blue. Very cute! Just not bright like the photos. Also, thin fabric not suede.

As I say in the title my son really loves his new shoes but I just can't give them 5 stars as like other people have said the tongue is just weirdly short, it really should be another inch or 2 inches longer. I would buy the mid-top velcro strap ones again next time as they are easier to get on/off (even with the zip on these) plus they are proportioned better.

Bought the black and gold glitter ones for my 4 year old daughter for Christmas. She usually has room in the size I purchased and these were too small. Leaving her sad that she couldn't wear them.

The back of the shoe by sipper is stiff and rubs. My daughter ended up with some pretty gnarly blisters (with socks). Hoping we can figure out how to break them in.
