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

My granddaughter LOVED them! She was sad her prior Natives no longer fit. Glad I could make her happy with these!!

Kids love these and great show for summer to slip on and off but still keeps toes protected.

Color is definitely a pink and not red, so we are returning them, but otherwise we love natives! They hold up and are super comfortable and perfect for summer!

Love the color of these on my daughter!

Great fit for my 4yo! Great summer shoes for little ones; easy for them to put on independently

These fit true to size. The best water shoes --- good for the beach, pool or just every day wear in warm weather. My 3 year thinks they are so comfy.

I love Natives for my kids. I buy a unisex color every summer and hand them down from my daughter to my son. They last forever and wash up well!

Thus us the 3D pair that I purchased for my granddaughter. We all love them. So stylish.

Bought for two grandchildren in size 10 and 11. Both fit great and were a very pretty pink. Ready to by more in another color

I bought these for my 18 month old in a size 5 and they are adorable! She is on the smaller end when it comes to shoes but the 5 was perfect. It’s a great spring summer shoe, totally versatile and easy to clean.

I can’t speak to the comfort since these are for my two year old and she can’t tell me a whole lot, but she doesn’t complain when we put them on. I do really like them for all sorts of things. We live in a place that gets hot in the summer so it’s nice we don’t need socks with these. We also let her wear them in the water and they protect her feet and can dry really quickly. They aren’t the best for sandy, dirt filled or small rock filled spaces since things can fit through the holes, but they are worth it for everyday life!

Fit is great, love that these shoes are breathable. Our daughter just started walking a few weeks ago and I wanted to get her a transitional pair of shoes and these did not disappoint. I will say though, when she walks around for long periods of time, they do rub up on the side of her foot and she gets little sores.

Cute but the white toe area gets dirty quickly

My daughter currently wears size 3.5 and 4 in her other shoes, but we couldn't even get her foot into a size 4 Natives. Thankfully, the size up works. She does have a high instep which I'm sure contributes to the problem. I miss the roominess and the ease of slipping them on that we have had in Crocs for my son, but gosh Natives sure are cuter (especially their girl colors). And they have the same perfect toddler shoe qualities - they can get wet, muddy, sandy, you name it and once you rinse them, they're good to go again.

These were so hard to get on my toddler's feet and after just 5 minutes on wearing them inside, she couldn't walk well and they left huge red indentations on her feet! She can't really express herself at 13 months but did seem to indicate they were uncomfortable. She does not have overly wide feet and normally wears a size 4 in other brands well (See Kai Run, etc) so I was disappointed that we had to return as they are SO CUTE! I really wanted these to work for her as we play with water a LOT outside in Southern California and need a functional stylish water resistant shoe.

If your little one has wide feet, they may not work. I have had to stick to Converse and now just bought a Saucony extra wide. LOVE these - they are so cute, but couldn't even get her little feet halfway in. Seems to be true what others are saying - a LITTLE bigger, maybe (longer). If I could have gotten her foot in, she would have had some room. Sadly, had to return. Don't waste your time if your baby has (very) wide feet!

Sad to say I think we are officially done with Native brand. Their customer service is terrible. No responses. I just ordered our 4th pair of Jefferson. We ordered the light pink in toddler size 8. Something has obviously changed in the manufacturing process because these shoes stink up her entire room. They smell like the plastic material found in really cheap Walmart flip flops. The chemicals coming from this shoe can’t possibly be safe for her skin contact. These shoes have NEVER had any smell in the past. Unfortunately they are going back. If I want cheap plastic chemicals in my child’s shoe, I’ll buy the Walmart version for way less. ??

My 2 year old lived in Natives last summer, but they don’t fit her foot this year. Most of her shoes are size 6, but we have a few 5.5 options that still fit. I ordered 3 pairs of Natives in a size 6. One pair is so tight across the bridge that I couldn’t get it on. The other pairs go on but leave indentions and red marks on the top of her feet within minutes. There’s plenty of room in the length but the tongue/bridge is way too tight. I ordered a size 7 just to double check and it falls off her foot. Too big as expected. My daughter is 25 months and in the 25% for height/weight. Her feet aren’t particularly chubby. The boxes I received say that the shoes were made in china. I read a lot of reviews that say the china made shoes are fakes and authentic Natives are “Made with love in Vietnam.” I have no idea if that’s true, but I find it hard to believe that Zappos/Amazon sent me a bunch of knock offs. I guess stranger things have happened, though. Anyway, I had to return all of the Natives. I ended up buying alternative options from Skechers, Target, and Crocs. None are as cute but they fit and she’s comfortable and that’s what’s important.

I wanted to really like these, but they gave my little one blisters within the first week. They are super cute, but not worth it. As always, Zappos was helpful with managing a delayed delivery. Thank you!

FAKE. Zappos stop fulfilling with Amazon. I have ordered a bunch of these from you and some are real and some are fake. The color and material give it away. Unacceptable.
