Bought size 2.5 for my 8-year-old daughter. Cool flames and tiger head graphics.
Super small tho - kid couldn't even get her foot inside. She has a typical 2-2.5 foot. I should have taken the other reviews to heart but I ordered anyway. Quick and easy return.
No hassle. Next time we'll try on in person.

I ordered these as we love the sparkles. I thought it would be more tan/beige, but is very yellow. We love the sparkles, but not the accompanying yellow.

These shoes fit my 5 year old once he can get them on, but they take about 10 minutes and a shoe horn for him to get them on, despite the fact that he has been putting on his own shoes for 3 years. The elastic is too tight and the canvas is too stiff for him to put them on independently without a struggle. Even with my help, it took us 5 minutes to get them on. Once they are on, they fit fine, though the arch support is quite small and not very supportive. We bought them because they are a required dress code item for his school. Otherwise, we would be returning them. The effort it takes to put them on is ridiculous for a shoe that is supposedly made to slip on and off easily.

... my son complained about them being hard to get on, and he said the white part was too tight. He didn't want to try to break them in. Back they went.

As other reviewers have stated, these shows are way too difficult to get onto a kid's feet. They're fine once on and look cute but not worth the time and struggle of getting them on. My daughter won't wear them bc they hurt to put on, even after I ordered them a half size up to try to avoid this issue.

These rubbed my daughter’s skin right off. She had 2 inches of blisters across the back of each heel. Wore shoes once & had to discard.
I'd also recommend:
Skechers, Teva, Stride Rite

Disappointed. My grandson couldn't get his feet into shoes, the opening was too tight. Length was correct, but opening too small.

Bought a matching pair for my child and the foot opening was so small she could barely fit it.

Ordered true to size based reviews and they were way too small for my daughter. Her foot wouldn't even go in the shoe, and she doesn't have a wide foot at all. Definitely have to try on in person before purchasing! We returned our purchase.

This shoe is poorly designed. Even when I ordered a full size larger for my daughter, the fit in the shoe's opening was too narrow (and my daughter does not have particularly wide feet). Returning the shoes.

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.

I love vans but unfortunately for some reason these fell apart in under a month. The canvas just ripped right off from the rubber sole. It was strange since it’s never happened before and we wear a lot of vans.

Was too small and one shoe was missing out of the box, not happy. The "one shoe" was too small, returning.

I ordered a size up. These were so narrow, I couldn't even get them onto my kid's feet. Bummer because they are so cute.

My daughter loves slip on vans, including these, but the glitter has already come off where they crease/bend; she’s had them maybe 2 days. Pretty lame.

brighter floral pattern in person, but the real problem was neither one of my girls were able to get their shoes on their feet! I ordered next size up for both-too bad!

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.

These are near impossible to get on, even with little socks to help. Sadly they were worn less than a handful of times and simply aren’t practical.

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.
