Nice style but my wife got blisters from the rear of the shoe. She would need to wear high no show socks and they don't look right that way.

Shoe runs small and very narrow; granddaughter loved the shoe and tried to wear and ended up with blisters.

They are not the shoes that are pictured on the website. The stripe is white but it is pink on the site. The background of the unicorn print is an off-white color, but it is white on the site. This gives the shoe a different look. There is also an imperfection (bubble) on one of the stripes. They look better in the picture on the website. I probably would have chosen a different shoe if the picture showed what they truly look like.

I ordered a size 1.5 and it is way smaller then a pair of 1.5 of the black white check slip on shoes. The one is way small and the other is way big! Not happy as I now I have to send back and I have no clue on a size to get! Gave 2 stars as shoe is adorable!!

These shoes were purchased for my son. There was an issue which took almost two weeks to resolve and finally get my order. For some reason this specific pair size was off a whole shoe size. Originally I ordered a 10 which I returned in store. The return barcode wouldn't scan and the store had to refund my money onto a gift card which then was used to purchase the new size order. I selected the 2-3 day turn around and had the shoes sent to my address. After 7 days from the order being placed I contacted the store in which they were unable to tell me where my order was due to it being shipped to my house. How does a company as large as Vans unable to track where their product is? Finally I received the shoes 10 days after my order was placed. Soles began separated after one day of wearing them. Hopefully this was a "one time" ordeal.

I read the reviews and I sized up but it wasn't enough. Had to return in store and they didnt have the same ones. Had to spend more money. It is too bad. They are cute.

I loved the ombr fading effect. My baby wears a 10 1/2 but I decided to purchase an 11 to give her some wiggle room. These shoes run small compared to other vans. On the first day of pre-k she came out walking weird, for us to find her skin rubbed off and a blister. I felt so bad for her. Do not waste your money.

The unicorn background is tan not white. The stripe isn't pink as pictured either it's white. The picture looks better than the actual shoe as mentioned the colors are different. I only kept them because my daughter saw me open the box and wanted them.

I liked the look and the quality of the fabric. However, they were very uncomfortable to wear as the heel portion rubbed against my heels causing redness and discomfort

My son loved the way these looked. He really wanted to wear them but said that they were too uncomfortable. These vans have a harder plastic/pleather/leather inside lining. The old Vans had fabric on the inside of the sneaker near the ankle bone. The harder material does not give and must rub on his lower ankle. Too bad.

The shoe looks fine but because of the design the stitching around the back cuts into the back of the feet taking the skin off, returning them for that reason.

I think these are absolutely adorable.. but my daughter hates wearing them because she complains they hurt her feet. I have a hard time getting her to put them on since she is only 5 and doesn't understand getting shoes broken in. I feel like a kids shoe shouldn't have to be broken in to be comfortable. As much as I love these, I just don't think I would recommend them to anyone buying for kids.

They look way better in person! Really wish they fitted. My daughter wear a 9.5. I ordered a 10.5. Still didn't fit..I gave 2 stars because of the cuteness...! The picture don't do it justice! They beautiful. Disappointed she can't wear them and can't return.

Vans sizing runs small! I have ordered vans for myself and my kids and mine were so tight as well as these. Even though we have the same exact sized other vans at home that fit fine. Get it together vans. Its so annoying to have to return shoes that should have fit in the first place.

Box only came with one shoe, would be awesome if my daughter didn't have 2 feet.

Bought these shoes for my daughter for school. Day one they gave her terrible blisters. Day two the checkerboard pattern was already wearing off.

It took 3 times to order. Each time it said it was available, I'd order and within 3-4 days a cancellation email was sent. Then finally when I received the order it appears the shoes fit smaller than what they're labeled.

If you want friction rubbing on the back of feet & blisters by all means buy them. I will not be buying anymore shoes from vans.

Got these for my daughter to wear to Disneyland not a good idea at all the back of her ankles were raw within the first hour. Maybe we had to break them in the day before but they are definitely not good walking shoes.
