Customer Reviews Native Shoes Kids Jefferson (Little Kid/Big Kid)

Good, easy on shoes. My son has very wide feet, but these fit well.

My 10 year old son loves these shoes. He keeps a pair by the back door so he can quickly slip them on when he needs to run out quickly to walk the dog or a quick errand. They’re great for walking short distances but I prefer he wear sneakers for exercise or longer walking for more support and breathability.

My son loves the bright grasshopper green color! We had to buy these a full size smaller than his other shoes, and they are still a little big. But the extra room means they should last all summer. Note re: blisters - my daughter's pair was also bought with a little extra room and even with socks she got a blister the first time she wore them. We're trying Natives this summer instead of our tried-and-true Pediped Sahara Flex sandals; time will tell which we end up liking best.

I stock up on these every summer, it’s easy to put on and they work for both outdoors play and water parks. I alway size down one size smaller because these are cut large. My seven year old normally wears size 3 shoes. But I ordered the size 2 native and it fits perfectly and same goes for my 5 year old who wears size 1 shoes but with these the size 13 fits.

I bought a pair for my 3 year-old and my 8 year-old wanted a pair too. His size 2 Saucony sneakers are too small but a 3 in was too big in the Jefferson. I ordered the 2s and they were here the next day and my son has them on playing around the neighborhood, happy as a clam! Thanks Zappos!

My kids love these shoes. We got my 7 year old son the orange color and they are exactly as pictured. He wears a size 4 1/2 tennis shoe with a little room to grow and he got these in a 4 and still has room to grow. Plan to go for at least a half, if not full size, smaller than normal.

My son currently wears a 3.5 and I went down to a size 3 after originally ordering the 4, which was way too big. He’s very excited to wear these to the beach on our upcoming trip to Hawaii. Very cute and stylish. I personally like the look much better than Crocs, but Natives still have the lightweight, easy to slip on and off, and can get wet then dry quickly features we need in a summer shoe.

My son loves them

Perfect for beach and pool resort vacations. These are more grownup versions of the Crocs, classier! They don’t slip off back or are too wide, compared to my kids Crocs.

My kids LOVE these shoes! They are 12, 9 , and 7, and this is the third year in a row that they have all had this style as their primary summer shoe. They are lightweight, waterproof, easy to clean up, and (hear this Moms) they don't stink. My boys can stink up shoes in less than a week, but not these. I usually buy them around Spring Break and they wear them until September. They *may* start to smell a bit by late August. They love choosing a fun new color each summer and wear them to the beach, in the lake, hiking, at school, everywhere. The only complaint they have had is that the black and navy shoes get hot in direct sun, which is to be expected. Can't say enough positive things about Natives!

My son's favorite! They are easy to put on/off, they look great, and they hold up well. When they get dirty I just throw them in the wash. Perfect for my 5yo!

Super cute! We ordered yellow and it's a great gender neutral color for the summer. We love the ease and comfort of natives! Plus, they're one of the only shoes that I can pass down from my son to my daughter in certain colors!

Great shoes for kids and very comfortable!

Love these shoes they are comfortable on my granddaughter and run true to size. I wish they came in half sizes.

Cute color; will be great for the beach!

These shoes are my absolute favorite for my 5yo. They are durable, washable, easy to take on and off, and cute! My son loves them too. Every 6 months or so we sit down on the computer and look at shoes and he always tells me "natives!" and what color and that's it, so here we are 5 years later ordering natives regularly:-)

This is our 4th pair of Native Jefferson's and we're still just as pleased as the first pair. My 7 yo daughter loves them because they are comfy, easy to put on and take off, stylish and unique. Her only "complaint" is that sand gets in them because of the holes but let's be real, sand gets in any shoes and considering how easy these slip on and off, disposing of said sand is easy peasy. They are seemingly constructed of a solid piece so you don't have to bother with insoles that slide or bunch up. She wears them during PE and has never complained that they're not great substitutes for athletic shoes. She even uses them as "pool shoes" in the summer!! Our pool is salt-water and the surface of the pool can irritate her toes and we found that a dedicated pair of Natives for pool shoes are great. I'm not saying that's what they're intended for but she used them all summer '18 and they're still going on land now that it's a blustery 65 degrees in SoCal. She has the Glass Green/Taro Purple colored pair and we've never seen anyone else with this color combo. They look like candy. :)

Natives are by far my favorite shoes for my kids for spring summer and fall. Such great quality and so many great colors to choose from!

My son loves his Native Shoes! They are a must for the summer months and or warm weather travel.

This shoe is super cute. I have small feet and normally wear a 3.5 but I ordered a 2 and it feels perfect. If I had ordered a 3 the heel would slip like flip flops. Glad I read the other reviews before ordering and went with the smaller size. I had crocs made of similar material and they were my favorite... until I left them out in the sun and they shrunk. Take care not to leave them in the heat.

We live this things so much. My 7 year old wears these to school every. single. day. Her only complaint is that sand gets in the holes but let’s be honest, sand gets in all shoes. They’re stylish while still casual and the ease that they slide on with makes life a little easier. They’re easy to clean (we use a magic eraser or a scrub sponge and soap. The color combo is adorable and makes me think of candy. As always, Zappos for the win! They got these little guys to me in time for Christmas.

Was supposed to get my order on December 26th. But it arrived on Christmas Eve! All the years I've been ordering from Zappos they have NEVER failed me!

We love our natives! I buy my sons a new pair every spring, and that’s all they wear until fall. Beach, pool, water park, playground- these shoes hold up beautifully. I’m even able to pass them down.

My 7yo who wears a 4.5 in Acsics sneakers had to go down to 3 in these. She loves them and will be wearing them for her swim lessons.
