These shoes are absolutely adorable but the second time my daughter wore them the rubber part of the sole started coming apart from the material. It seems the glue was separating. Went to the Vans store and bought a different color in a bigger size.

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
I bought these for my 9 month old and, being a new mom, I accidentally bought the sneaker too big for her by about 1 size. The the color is ever better than in the picture. Since they were huge I thought her foot would fit right in but I had a tough time putting them on her especially since at this age, she has chunky feet. I tried to put her foot in with no luck! I will send back and by her a sneaker that has front strap(s) instead of the zipper to make it easy to put on a baby's foot.

Love how these sneakers look, but do not have your child wear these to school. First day he wore them to school they got so dirty that no matter how good I cleaned them they do not look presentable to wear. Material very hard to clean. My son probably wore these 2x and cannot wear them again.

My son is 4 years old and he has always worn these shoes. The first 2 years we bought them they last 12+ months. The last 2 times however they have only lasted 4-5 months before the soles completely come unglued/stitching falls out. I'm not sure what changed but quality has gone downhill.

I thought the glitter was going to be embedded in the threads as if a metallic thread was woven to make the exterior look glittery. That is not the case with these shoes. These shoes are coated in the kind of glitter that sheds onto everything and gets into your eyes to scratch them to bits, it gets on everything. The kid didn't even wear them, only tried them on & glitter was already everywhere. These shoes will shed microplastics everywhere.

I love the design but they are extremely narrow. Toddlers have fat feet so they're very uncomfortable for my kiddo. Stick to the classic slip ons for kids.

These shoes are gorgeous and I was so excited to get them for my son. They run incredibly small. The zipper in the back makes it too hard to get them on my son's feet. Moving the zipper to the inside of the shoe would be much better for this design. Sadly have to return these shoes. Since we can't try them on in person at the store to get sizing right, I won't be re-purchasing right now.

These shoes are very cute, but the canvas looks cheap in person, and my daughter's feet would've gotten really sweaty in these. They don't seem very breathable. The fabric is thin and stuff. Had to return them.

I bought these shoes my 3.5 yr old son. With being in the cold weather I figured these would be a great shoe with the insulation and the cute zipper. While they are warm and nice they are not great. The zipper on the back does not stay zipped I even tried a thicker sock and still cant keep them zipped. I would suggest not getting these till they find some way to adjust the design where the zipper stays up.

My son wore these shoes one time to school on a day where it had just rained the night before so the ground was wet. When I picked him up from school the shoes had red stains on the white areas of the shoes. The shoes red dye had leaked all over the shoes and onto his ankles. I bought these on Black Friday and can't exchange them so I'm losing money since I got them so cheap and he needs a new pair. Never again

The zipper at the back of these is difficult to zip up and rubs my kid's heels and then they don't stay on very well. I prefer the velcro strap style.

I absolutely love the print of the shoe. But it's Definitely not made for regular use for a toddler. I could only get one shoe on. The one shoe I got on was a struggle. I ended up taking them back. I wouldn't recommend.

I thought these Vans would be super cute and functional for my toddler. However, they turned out to be the worst shoes I've ever purchased. After 1 wear they're so stretched out and wide-fitting that they flop. My poor baby has clown feet in these shoes. I'm beyond disappointed!

I have other vans for my 17 month old and they fit fine. These were very narrow with no give and so I couldn't get them on no matter how hard i tried. So sad because they are cute!

I bought these for my niece expecting the dragon print that I saw online with cute dragons and clouds. They came with fire breathing dragons and lightning bolts. Super upset and disappointed.

It took me 10mins trying to put the shoes on my 1yr old daughter. Only the back opened up and it was so difficult and stressful to put the shoes on. I couldn't see myself going through that every time I put the shoes so so I returned them.
