Customer Reviews Jumping Jacks Kids Valerie Balleto (Toddler/Little Kid/Big Kid)

My daughter has an incredibly difficult time finding shoes due to her narrow and bony foot. After trying many local shoe stores and striking out, we recently tried Zappos.com. We went through three rounds of shoes until we found the perfect style and fit. I am so grateful for their easy order and return policy. This Valerie Balleto shoe has a soft leather, a secure strap, and a pretty bow. It doesn't rub my daughter's ankle due to its low profile in the back. There is ample cushioning and it fits true to size in a narrow width. We finally found the perfect school shoe!

Love these shoes. I buy them every year for my daughter.

8 year old grandaughter loves these. She has narrow feet, it is hard to find narrow in her size. Very comfortable and they appear to wear well after lots of playground action.

I purchased a size 1.5 for my daughter with very narrow size 1 feet. These were huge in width and size! Still, we kept them as my daughter only wears them a few hours during the week and she can grow into them; hopefully, as her foot grows, she will fill out the width too. The durability of the shoe is great and the detail with the suede and flowers is beautiful. Lovely purchase!

We are on our second pair of these shoes we like them so much! Good quality uppers, very comfortable and with a rubber sole that is perfect for the playground. One of the only pairs of shoes we were able to find for narrow feet.

Fit my daughter perfectly. She has a wide foot with a high top of her foot, and there are no issues with the strap. Cute and goes well with her uniform.

We ordered these shoes for my daughter because she was asked to be flower girl in a wedding. The bride wanted a specific shoe but our daughter has a wide food PLUS we like to buy shoes for multi-purpose use. Not only did our daughter feel comfortable as a flower girl but she stayed on the dance floor (5 years old) for 3 hours. She stopped to pose for pics. When we left she did NOT ask to take her shoes off in the car like she usually does.

Very cute shoe and worked perfectly for our holiday outfit this year. My daughter was very happy with them and didn't want to take them off. They did turn her tights black where the strap crossed them but it washed off easily. Overall very happy with our purchase

We have been searching for cute shoes that can be both dressed up and dressed down. These fit the bill. My daughters both love the fit and they are great for us because they come in both wide and narrow options. Great shoe!

These are so cute! My granddaughter loves them and they work on her narrow foot. Zappo's is the "only" place I purchase kids shoes! Great customer service and return policy!

Adorable shoes! Can be dressy or dressed down. My three year old likes them and so do I. She measures 9 1/2-10 and the ten fit with a little room to grow.

My daughter has a narrow foot and it is very hard to find shoes that fit her. These work well, are comfortable and can be worn to school or for dress up. I did have to have the cross strap shortened a bit because it hit the ground when it was tight enough on my daughter's foot. Overall a great shoe!

I love these shoes. They are worth every penny I paid for them. My daughter's foot is wide and she loved these as soon as they came out of the box. I will be purchasing them in the other colors as well so that she will have a great dressy shoe for this year's winter season.

I order these shoes for my daughter for school they are true to size and the color of is beautiful I would recommend these shoes to anyone who is looking for a brown shoespecially for school.

For a girly-girl with wide feet, Jumping Jacks Balleto is a godsend. This is our second pair. Last year, a silver style. This year, a black style. Great for school and dress up. Convenient hook-and-loop strap.

My daughter has VERY narrow feet, and this was a great shoe for her. She said it fits snug, a very hard thing for shoes to do on her feet. These are great shoes!

Jumping Jacks is one of the few brands that make wide shoes for older kids. It's a cute shoe and durable. The last pair survived 9 months of almost daily abuse on the playground.

My 4 year old granddaughter loved this shoe! She wears it with everything! It's especially great for her to wear to ballet class!

It's been so hard finding a dress shoe for my daughter that she's willing to wear (she needs a wide width). Finally, we have found the one--she loves this shoe! It's comfortable and very pretty!

Cute shoes! I bought these for my daughter to use with AFOs (leg braces) and bought the wide to accommodate. They are built well with plenty of adjustability and super cute too!

The shoes are high quality and fit well. Just enough class for a special occasion dress but can also be paired with pants and/or fun leggings. Very satisfied with the quality for the price.

These cost a little more than I typically like to spend on kids' shoes but I have decided that they are worth it. They fit well with no break in time, they are easy for my daughter to take on and off by herself and the color goes with everything. They were a great purchase!

Ran smaller than stated size. Especially when you consider using in winter with a heavier tight rather than think stocking.

The same thing happened with my daughter as with another reviewer: crawling for mere seconds on concrete caused the "paint" on the toes to rub off. Surprisingly terrible quality from Jumping Jacks, a brand that I usually love. The shoes were cute, though, for the 3 minutes that they lasted!
