I got these for my 5 YO and they are really really difficult to get on even with loosening the laces. I wish I had opted for the non high tops. He's too young to know how to manipulate getting them on, so they are really frustrating. They are not getting much use due to this.

Bought these for my 6 year old because she loves unicorns and now I see why they were on sale. The tongue on the shoe is very short but the laces are extremely long and different sizes. Still super cute but definitely have a defect.

My 5 yr old daughter saw these and was instantly obsessed. Unfortunately due to the cut of the shoe on the the instep side she struggled too much to get her foot in. They fit true to size once we got it on. Sadly they were returned.

My grandson loves Vans, he wore these on a day it sprinkled and they got a little damp and the blue bled onto the shoe strings and white soles. Would not recommend colored vans for kids who love playing in water.

My child is very happy with them but they wear out quickly and do not last.

These are not easy for my five and seven year olds to get on themselves. I also struggle with helping them. The back zipper is a nice addition but they would be better with regular laces.

Overall, it’s a very stylish shoe. I was more inclined to purchase these shoes for my 5 year old son due to the zipper on the back thinking it would be an easy hightop shoe to put on. It is however, the zipper on the back of these leave my fingers in pain. Maybe I have a faulty pair but he definitely can not zip them by himself and I really struggle. I pull up with so much strength, I’m afraid the zipper may break.

While these are really stylish and made very well they are IMPOSSIBLE to put on. You need to leave yourself quite a bit of time to basically loosen the laces as much as you can (the zipper in the back does not help at all)so it is not a good shoe to throw on when running out the door or to take on an off easily somewhere.

My son loved them out of the box, but he said the zipper was very uncomfortable.

I wanted to love these shoes! They are super cute, but they are ridiculously difficult for a kid to put on and take off. They seem narrow in the heel and my son said they were very uncomfortable. I am sad because they are so stylish and he loved the look of them, but it is not worth the discomfort.
I'd also recommend:

The soles of the shoes I received are brown, not black as they are in the photo. If your child's school requires that the soles of the shoes are black, it's not worth gambling on these (or possibly any shoe on their website) since how they represent the shoes is unreliable.

I try to buy this with discount, but they are only in stores. How to buy a gift with the little one? Will be not a surprise for her. I will like the discount in store.

Cute but the quality of the zippers on these shoes has gone way downhill. It takes all my umph to zip these up there is no way my 6-year-old could do it. Will be returning.

I love vans and have been wearing them for over 30 years now. However, the child sizes run wayyyy small. Wish there was an online exchange policy.

The zippers on back are hard to open and makes it difficult for my daughter and even myself to put them on.

Too small. Had to send them back. I ordered the next size up. Hope they fit. I like the look, would recommend but size up.
