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

Love the ease of Native shoes. Easy for kids to put on themselves (I have them for 2, 4, and 7 year olds) and they rinse right off when they get muddy. I'm already on my second or third pair per kid as they grow out of them. I do order up a bit to make sure they fit and are easy to get on and off.

Way too big for my son.

We moved from the little kids size 3 to a big kids size 5. The big kids size is much wider. Our 9yo can wear the shoes but her foot slides around inside because of the larger width.

This yellow color (called "gone bananas") is smaller than the same shoe in the light pink color. Tried ordering 2 pairs, just to make sure it wasn't a fluke, but for some reason the yellow is slightly smaller than the pink.

My son seems to like it. He’s 4. It’s not an “easy slip on” as I anticipated. He has sweaty feet so putting it on sometimes is a challenge. It’s hard to get a real feel for it if you’re not the one wearing them, but my son seems fine with them.

I got the wrong size for 2 of my kids shoes and customer service was incredible in helping my exchange shoes and they added expedited shipping to the new items and they arrived the very next day! Couldn't be more pleased with my experience! Way more than I could've asked for or even expected!

I disagree on the size down recommendation. I think these fit true to size. My 5 year old wears 12.5 sized shoes, and her feet are 7 inches long. We ordered a size 12 and they just fit, but too snug. We are returning and getting the size 13. These will be fun summer shoes.

We love these shoes — they are the only shoes besides Crocs that don’t stink after 2 weeks on my kid’s feet. We’ve been ordering them for years. However, this year, we ordered our kids normal sizes (12) in the (little kid/big kid) group and it was a full size too large — I could comfortable fit two fingers behind his heel inside the shoe, and the toddler/little kid (size 9) was also way too large and could squeeze two fingers behind his foot. Zappos is trying to be safe and we are happy to support a company that supports their worker’s safety, but the bad sizing could not come at a worse time for us, while we’re trying to get new slip on shoes for safety at reopening summer camp/daycare. Definitely order a full size down in both age groups.

My kids love these shoes! I've purchased about 8-9 pairs now between my 2 kids. They are comfortable for walking, even a bit of running around, and never any blisters. My only complaint is I wish they came in 1/2 sizes! My youngest wears a size 11 but the size 11 is too big so I order a size 10 which fits (no blisters) but it will not fit for long. The sizing is definitely off. Hasn't kept me from buying them though.

These water shoes run about 1/2 size large. In addition, if worn with socks, the color (we have the red) will transfer onto socks if feet and shoes are damp/wet. Wasn’t too thrilled about that as it ruined a couple pairs of socks.

These are great shoes, they just fit a little big and wide. My daughter wears a 3 and we ordered a 3, sent them back and got a 2. They still seem a little big and remain wide.

Ok fit. Used as a pool/ water shoe so it’s not too big of a deal- they are definitely wide.

After reading many reviews on these shoes, most people said they run large in size so I went down to a 4, but they were still 1/2 size about to long but she is keeping them to grow into. They look like excellent shoe quality, I'd say better than crocs. She looks cute in them and wore them to her last day of school.

My son loves these. They are a perfect summer play shoe.

Too wide for my child's foot. Disappointed because we've been very loyal to Native for years. Not sure why the width no longer works. So disappointed because we loved these shoes!!!!! Please do not widen these!

My kids really like these and I think they will be great summer shoes. I had to return the first pairs I ordered as they seemed to run a size large.

Fit was great! I love these shoes for my kids for swimming, water parks and floating in the river. My youngest wears them as often as possible as “socks are his worst enemy”. The only issue is that they are more expensive than I think they should be. Sketchers has, or had, a much more affordable pair for smaller feet. The only other personsal request is for the bottom to have more color options than white. There are a few other options but none my boys liked. My boys are in 4th and 5th grade. I purchased size 4 and size 5 in these shoes.

Great for the pool, beach, waterpark

my little guy didnt like the feel of the plastic on his feet. they were super cute though. seemed to run a little big.

We love the look of these, but we had to return because they were too wide for my daughters narrow feet. In general, I’d say these are great for kiddos with normal width feet, not for kids with narrow or wide feet. My son has wide feet/chubby feet, and we find that the Native Miller style work best for him.

Shoes are adorable BUT the sizing charts were not correct. I measured by daughter's foot twice, ordered according to chart & shoes at least 1.5 sizes too large.

I ordered my kids' normal sizes in these and both were too large by at least half a size.

They run HUGE! I got these for myself, I have small feet and I wear a size 6-7 in adult shoes, figured a J6 would be perfect. It’s at least a full size too big, maybe two sizes too big? They seem comfy and great to slip on and go, I’m returning for size down.
