They fit perfectly on my son. For picture day and even a day at the park! Easy to slip on and off as well. The color is amazing. The sizing was spot on to what my son normally wears

They looked absolutely stunning on my baby boys feet. I'd just wish I'd know that the size he usually wears wouldn't fit and to grab a half size smaller.

Very good quality and style but the shoelaces should be manually tied to prevent the shoe from falling off - we actually replaced the original laces

We love vans for our toddler, and I was so excited about these. I still love them, but the color is slightly more baby blue, not as deep, than pictured.

I wish I could love these shoes, but the zipper gets stuck and is a pain to zip up!! Because the zipper doesn't properly zip up these fall off his feet all the time. Buy the velcro or the slip ons instead.

We absolutely loved our Velcro high tops that my toddler wore before we purchased these. We thought we would give these a try and the elastic laces are just too tight to fit my toddlers feet in without just jamming his foot in, even after trying to stretch it out. So disappointed because we feel like the vans hold up for our boy's playfulness.

I had to return these because my son has a wide/tall foot and I literally could not get the shoes onto my son's feet. Not for kids with fat feet/high insteps.

Love how these sneakers look, but do not have your child wear these to school. First day he wore them to school they got so dirty that no matter how good I cleaned them they do not look presentable to wear. Material very hard to clean. My son probably wore these 2x and cannot wear them again.

My son is 4 years old and he has always worn these shoes. The first 2 years we bought them they last 12+ months. The last 2 times however they have only lasted 4-5 months before the soles completely come unglued/stitching falls out. I'm not sure what changed but quality has gone downhill.

I thought the glitter was going to be embedded in the threads as if a metallic thread was woven to make the exterior look glittery. That is not the case with these shoes. These shoes are coated in the kind of glitter that sheds onto everything and gets into your eyes to scratch them to bits, it gets on everything. The kid didn't even wear them, only tried them on & glitter was already everywhere. These shoes will shed microplastics everywhere.

I bought these shoes my 3.5 yr old son. With being in the cold weather I figured these would be a great shoe with the insulation and the cute zipper. While they are warm and nice they are not great. The zipper on the back does not stay zipped I even tried a thicker sock and still cant keep them zipped. I would suggest not getting these till they find some way to adjust the design where the zipper stays up.

My son wore these shoes one time to school on a day where it had just rained the night before so the ground was wet. When I picked him up from school the shoes had red stains on the white areas of the shoes. The shoes red dye had leaked all over the shoes and onto his ankles. I bought these on Black Friday and can't exchange them so I'm losing money since I got them so cheap and he needs a new pair. Never again

The zipper at the back of these is difficult to zip up and rubs my kid's heels and then they don't stay on very well. I prefer the velcro strap style.

I absolutely love the print of the shoe. But it's Definitely not made for regular use for a toddler. I could only get one shoe on. The one shoe I got on was a struggle. I ended up taking them back. I wouldn't recommend.

I thought these Vans would be super cute and functional for my toddler. However, they turned out to be the worst shoes I've ever purchased. After 1 wear they're so stretched out and wide-fitting that they flop. My poor baby has clown feet in these shoes. I'm beyond disappointed!
