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

I was worried from other reviews that said to size up so I did but ended up returning and getting the size I thought was correct after all. They are probably on the narrower side but my kid has loved all his Native shoes since he was 2 and this was no exception. The slip on nature, the lightness and sneaker like sole makes this perfect for a kid not quite old enough for laces but wants to run fast and look cool.

I had not planned to keep two pairs of native shoes but ended up buying these because simply my daughter would not take them off. She loves the ease of putting them on, they are lightweight, and she runs all over in them. An added bonus they are super cute and hip. It is so hard to find a kids tennis shoe that doesn't have some weird color combination or character on them so these are perfect!

Love these shoes! The are super light making it easy to walk//run without tripping. Not clunky at all. The straps help hold the shoes on without slipping. Best tennis shoe!

Love these shoes, and both my kids do too. Had to order 1 size larger for both kids, as their normal size fit way too snug. Also they get stinky pretty quick, though you can wash them easily.

My son loved these.

These shoes are great! My Kiddo has long narrow feet. These fit really well. Pretty easy to get on and very easy to get off. Super light weight with a good cushion sole. So many kid shoes have really hard insoles for some reason but these are excellent!

My son loves these. These are his second pair of black natives. My favorite

Wonderful shoes for active toddler boy. Easy to wash and wear and fit great, sometimes the rubber native we have issues with sizing due to his tiny ankle narrow foot but this shoe is great. Love it! And super light!

Clean style for dressing up a bit, but still great for play and boys! Love the blue color. My son has narrow feet, so I actually ordered a size down and these fit perfect with room. A shoe store associate I spoke to told me these shoes were running long. Maybe width has some to do with if you need to go up a size!

My son loves these, easy for him go get on.

These ha e been perfect for our 3 year old! They are easy for him to put on and take off on his own, lightweight for him to run around in, and they fit his pudgy feet with no problems! We were pleasantly surprised with how well they’ve held up as well - he’s super active and has worn them daily for the past 7 months and they’ve withstood all of his torture and are just now showing signs of wear and tear.

So cute, easy to get on and flexible, but at least one size smaller than marked. Returning for a larger size.

Awesome shoe. My son loves them. Light weight and comfy.

Super cute for my three year old. He can get them on and off himself and he loved them right away! Excellent fit too.

My 3 year old LOVES these shoes!!

I ordered these in size 13 for my son, and I think they actually are about 12.5. That is exactly what I wanted, so that worked out for me. These shoes are very very cute and my son can get them on easily by himself. He is very hard on shoes, so about 3.5 months into wearing them, there are many holes in the fabric and a big chunk of sole is missing. He drags his feet off the bikes at his school, and I doubt any shoe could live up to that kind of wear. Having said that, he loves them, and I do too. I would purchase these again.

This was smaller than other brand shoes in the same size, it didn't fit my child's foot and I had to return them. They also are more narrow than other toddler/early walker shoes so be aware if your child is used to a wider foot/toe base these might not work.

These were returned. They felt light and insubstantial, more like a water shoe than a sneaker. Also the sole was make more of a foamy material rather than a rubbery material, so they didn't offer any non-slip protection. The one plus, was that they were easy to get on an off, my 3 1/2 could do it herself.

The back of the shoe that fits over the heel seems low and slips off, even with the appropriate sizing.

I am so disappointed to have to return these shoes because they look perfect. However, they run very small. In my son's regular size, I couldn't get his foot in at all. We went up a size and he was still uncomfortable- the arch was very pronounced.

My daughter had the original natives in a size 5 but they were getting a little tight so we ordered these in a size 6 and they wouldn't even fit on her foot! I think we would have needed a 7 to fit her. So strange that the sizing was so different. The shoe is super cute in person and was a cute tiny look-a-like of my adidas boosts, such a bummer they have to go back.

These are way too difficult to get onto a toddlers foot. I ordered a size up for my son bc of the pill on style, but I still couldn’t get it on his foot. ??

These shoes are lightweight, comfortable and easy to wash. They are so cute, and will go with any outfit. However, after only one week the front of the rubber sole was ripped off the shoe and a hole was made in the fabric. My 3 year old wore them for one bike ride, and they couldn't handle that sort of wear. We won't be buying these again. Thank goodness Zappos has a great return policy.

The sole narrows as it gets to the toe. It seemed these had practically no sole for playground use.

These are the second pair in this style my son has worn and he loves them for the slip on feature and the lightness of the materials. The major issue we are having is that the rubber at the toe that's meant to provide a bit more protection is already torn after only a little over a month of wear. The rest of the shoe is in great shape so it seems that this part needs to be stronger if the shoe is going to actually last the season.
