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

the velcro on one of the straps came unstitched in the first wearing. I can fix but if it happens again I will send back

The regular Natives fit true to size but theese ran a size too small due to the placement of the back strap. Exchanging for larger size. They are comfortable and look cool on my little one.

My son wears a 8.5 normally and in these he is a 10.

These are okay, the straps are like made of foam. They get dirty quick, and not too easy to clean. My boy really liked them though and he never complained about them, he played in them all summer.

These are adorable on little baby feet! I had read other reviews saying these ran small, so I ordered a size 5 for my son who normally wears a size 4. They fit great, and have a little room to grow. I would definitely recommend sizing up at least half a size, but maybe even a whole size. I love how lightweight they are, and that they can get wet. I think they'll be perfect summer shoes for a baby new to walking.

My son wears an 8 toddler, but his foot was right at the edge, so I got the 9’s, which wear huge. I was greatly disappointed as they are super cute for the price and Native is supposed to be a good brand.

These shoes are adorable. They look comfortable. They are easy on/easy off. However, while they lined up fine when I put these on B's feet, as soon as he took a step, his toes slid off the front. I could not get them properly adjusted to stay in place - not good for a toddler. Will have to send these back.

My daughter like the sandals and they seem comfortable, I like that they are easy to put on. Their size is certainly smaller than other brands, so we had to return them and order one size bigger.

I didn't realize these were vegan until they arrived - bonus! As others mentioned they seem to run small so I ordered a size up and they work for now. The soles don't seem slippy. I like the style but wish the velcro wasn't so dark/contrasting.

Good sandals that my four year old can easily put on himself. Pretty light weight and nice sturdy sole.

I ordered two pairs. I ordered the same size we have in Jefferson natives and these are definitely a whole size smaller. I had to return both pairs. I think I’ll order a new pair for my son but my daughter decided she didn’t like them. They look super cute and comfortable though!

These were super cute and I had high hopes but the velcro just didn't hold up! It's a super thin strap. If the strap/velcro was thicker, I think it would have held up better. My child wore a size 6 and we had to size up to a 7.

I loved these sandals for the first month. But then the Velcro stops working and they keep coming off. Super disappointed in that. I will say that they were very easy to put on though so I was bummed that the Velcro did not last.

I actually really like them for my son, but the Velcro is not strong enough for my active boy. We’ve only had them for over a month and it feels like the Velcro is getting worse at sticking.

My 14 month old would not stand in these shoes. I think it felt a little weird to be in sandals, and wouldn’t walk around in them so had to return. They are cute though but it seemed as though the straps would easily get pulled off by my kid. Perhaps a shoe for when he gets older but he is not ready for them yet!

I'm not sure why so many reviews say to size up. I did just that and now have to exchange them.

I loooooooove this brand but these little sandals do NOT stay on my child’s feet. Granted, he’s very little so he crawls and climbs in and out of things which causes them to rub against things and generally get smooshed around which is part of the problem. May be great for bigger kids... not ideal for early walkers.

These fell off my toddlers feet constantly. And the Velcro always slipped when it was wet. Not super excited about these sandals in terms of quality but I loved the look.

Love the neutral look, I am not a fan of the often ridiculous color combinations on children's shoes (because they seem to clash with most clothing). My toddler loved these shoes. My one complaint is the velcro on these shoes did not last an entire summer and so by the end of the summer when my son still wanted to wear these they kept coming undone over his foot (the ankle velcro didn't come detached as much). Almost every other shoe I've bought him looks like new and I wouldn't hesitate to pass them down to a younger sibling, these didn't make it one season. That being said, I will likely buy again because finding anything neutral and cute for little boys is hard and they are on the more affordable side of quality children's shoes. Our issue was the fuzzy side of the velcro got to loose to stick to the tooth side well.

Love the look of these sandals and how easy they are to take on and off. However, the Velcro doesn’t last. My son only got 2 months of use from them before they fell apart.

This would have been a great sandal if the sizing was not so off. My daughter is an 8 in all other brands of shoes; when we tried on this sandal her toes were hanging over the top. Had to return them and unfortunately they don't have a size 9 in stock :(

Waaaaaay smaller than advertised. My son is a 7. I bought a 7, his toes were over the edge so I exchanged for an 8 and even that is small. He’s right at the edge. I cannot be bothered to return them AGAIN for a 9 because I can’t get to a UPS store easily at all where I live so so much for that. I’ve had my sons feet measured to be sure, and they’re a 7 not a 9 so I don’t know what to say about this brand except that they’re cute but definitely NOT true to size...like at all.

runs about a size too small which is too bad because these are such cute, well made and soft shoes

My 3 year old loves them, but I had to exchange for a larger size. They are very cute and nice quality, especially for the price.

These sandals are very cute, lightweight and good quality. My complaint is that the straps do not fit a small kid’s feet. The Velcro cannot be pulled over tight enough to get a good, snug fit. The Velcro patch is short and narrow so it stays loose and therefore comes apart quite easily and the shoes fall off. Because they are loose, they also allow rocks and things to get stuck under the foot. If the straps were slightly wider and the Velcro strip went further down to accommodate a wider range of foot sizes, these would be great.
