These are very cute but they run very small. My son wears a 13 and I ordered a 13.5 and he probably needs a 1.5!

My toddler has had slip ons with no issues putting them on. These are so tight he can barely fit them on his ankles and he has SKINNY ankles. We kept them only because he liked them so much, but the fit is awful compared to previous shoes and we buy all of his from Vans so I'm confused if this is how all 10.5 will be now? Scared to buy another pair :(

As others have already reported, this style is a difficult fit. The tops are too tight for the kids to slide their feet in their correct size. If sized up, the heels slip off their feet. Kind of surprising given how many years Vans has made these shoes. My daughters and I wear these in the adult version, and they fit fine.

These were very hard to get on . They were for my granddaughter and she loved them so we cut the elastic out and that fixed the problem.

My kiddos has narrow feet to begin with, but normally a medium width fits just fine. These shoes are very narrow. The opening is very narrow, he couldn’t even get the right foot into the shoe. kind of a bummer because they look cute and durable. for reference he wears an 11 in adidas, asic, saucony… and they actually have a little extra wiggle room. we ordered these in an 11.

I expected vans to hold up but these are a few weeks old and falling apart. Yikes, Vans. Doesn’t matter if they look nice if they won’t keep the weather off my kids feet. And there’s a few other lair here worn just a few times that are separating in layers at the sole. I won’t buy any more Vans. Converse has been holding up well against my active kids. Skating, biking, walking to school, Converse is where you need to go.

The shoes are adorable and my son was super excited about them, but they didn't fit. My son has feet on the narrower size, but the shoes were too tight across the throatline; therefore, he could not push his feet all the way into the shoes. I am certain I purchased the correct size (based on the amount of empty space in the toe). Plus, he's not yet a true size 13.

My daughter got these in September, they are her school shoes NOT home/play shoes. I am so disappointed the quality of vans has gone downhill, wow.

Bought all 3 of my granddaughters this shoe for school and got there regular shoe size. All 3 girls wore very uncomfortable all day at school and got blisters on their heels and can't wear them again. Shoes can't be returned since worn and now we're out money and shoes can't be worn. We love vans brand but these have been a huge disappointment!!

Way too hard for my 6-yo to get on. We actually couldn’t get it on her foot at all because the opening is so narrow! Vans, please fix this! We want to wear your shoes!

My son was really excited for this design and has many Vans slip-one he loves wearing. But this design had very poor construction at the sole base.

I bought these for my grandson and when they arrived, I wondered, what has happened to the quality of Vans! The quality is poor! The tread on the bottom of the shoe is so cheap and slippery, not the gripping rubber type material it used to be.

I bought these for my grandson and his foot needs a wider shoe. He was very disappointed. His mother will be returning these and I hope she can get advice on the sizing.

The opening was too small and narrow to put on, while the length would have fit generously.

I was so disappointed when opening this package. My daughter LOVES the black and white checkered. These were so discolored, an ugly yellowish cream

My daughter wore twice and the glitter has started to come off. Terrible quality, for the price I do not recommend. We have had other vans with glitter, the gold for instance and they were put through the wringer and held up beautifully. Not this pair. Do not buy!

It's a very nice shoe and usually they're really comfortable but the pair that I got seem like it was a half a size too small even though it was his correct size labeled on the shoe

Long time Vans fan with 99% of shoes from them, they are the go to for myself and the kids. I have purchased several versions of the glitter over the years for my daughters because they are durable. Received only 10 days ago, these are the first where the glitter fades and falls off where the shoes natural crease up front. See attached photo for reference. If you have another pair from a different production run I'd gladly take a replacement.

Where are these Vans being made? China? Shies sizes are smaller there. Please make shies in standard American sizes. We could always count on Vans to give us a comfy wide slip on in the Past.. now we can't even wear them anymore! And WE LOVE Vans Slip ons!! PLEASE FIX THE CHINA SIZES. THANKS! ALL THE OTHER STYLES FIT FINE. Ex: lace ups Velcro straps etc.

Why change something that's isn't broken? These classic shoes now have some leather lining around ankle that causes pressure on back of ankle. The material is very different the previous pairs with NO give to them. My daughter cannot even get her foot into these. She has other vans that fit fine what happened??
