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

These are a very cute and versatile shoe. Easy for kids to put on/take off by themselves, and can be worn as pool shoes, or play shoes. My 6 year old wears these to school, and he complains that his feet hurt unless he wears them with socks. Maybe the plastic inside rubs his skin? Since I bought them as an easy slip on, no sock shoe for warm weather, that was kind of disappointing. The other downside is, there is a lot of space around the ankle, (probably so they can be slipped on easily) and when he plays outside he gets tons of stuff inside his shoes. Wood chips, pebbles, dirt. Overall though, they are easy to wash, comfortable when worn with socks, and still very cute.

These shoes, as CUTE as they are, and as practical as they seem, really fit my kids too narrow, and I am sure that they have shrunk:( They are so much work to get on my boys that sadly I have to return:((

Super cute shoe. My boys aged 2 and 3 love them, but they're feet get sweaty and they have both gotten blisters after wearing them a short time. The back of the shoe is cut low on the heel. For the price, I would go with the crocs Micah for an outdoor play shoe. It has a little pad on the heel area. Disappointing, because they are cute, but not very practical.

Such a cute shoe in real life but it just doesn't have the right size. They need to add half size! I'm so bummed that the kids' feet are right in between 2 sizes. The material seems flexible enough to be comfortable. Although I'm not sure about the bumps on the inside sole, it might hurt after walking on it a while.

Natives are tricky. Need to size down for sure but still slips out. Unless your child has a thicker wider foot I would keep looking.

My son is wearing 10s but for some reason these were way too big!

Mostly a good shoe, but we left them outside to dry and they deformed in the heat. I was surprised they were not more durable.

My daughter is a 8.5 and the 9 is too big. I also think $35 is crazy for a toddler shoe. A child's shoe should not cost as much as an adult's shoe. The Croc's I just ordered for myself were cheaper than these shoes.

These are great for summer, they weigh almost nothing and my kids can easily put them on and take off by themselves! Unfortunately the sole has already broken in the back, after about a month! This has never happened before so I would guess that this is just a bad pair!

I originally ordered a size 9 and my son walked right out of them. I then ordered a size 8 and they were still too big. Also, I noticed the sole is raised and therefore contributed to my son's heel lifting in and out of the size 8 as well. Nothing to truly support or secure to keep the feet inside the shoe.

I just ordered these for my (really large) 10 month old. I ordered a size 4 and size 5. The four, I can barely squish his foot into and the 5 is pretty big. He has super wide and fat feet and I thought based on reviews these would be perfect. The back is really low and his foot keeps slipping out of them. Any time he tries standing up, his foot pops out of the shoe. I wished the back was a little higher, otherwise these would be a perfect shoe. Unfortunately these need to go back.

My son absolutely loved these shoes, and I thought they were just adorable. Unfortunately, they run small, and after returning and getting the correct size, we found them pretty hard to put on, and now he has started getting blisters from them. Unfortunately, although I thought these were a stylish alternative to Crocs for summer shoes for a toddler, we will be purchasing Crocs next!

These shoes just kept falling off my kid's feet. I got a bunch of sizes and my kid was *definitely* not wearing an over-large pair, phew, it was a struggle to get them on! And we tried the whole range and for the ones that fit best... they just wouldn't stay on. She was able to walk around far enough that I didn't notice how bad it was until they were already scuffed up (toddlers!) and probably not returnable :-(. But then every half-block they just fell off over and over.

My son wore these to the lake and took them off. When he went to put them back on, they had melted and no longer fit. I would think that shoes that are made to go into water would be heat resistant. This is very frustrating!

I’m not sure if I just got one size too big for my son. His shoes caused him some blisters on his feet.

Don’t like the heel of the shoe, it flips off of my son’s feet

I am utterly confused by these shoes which I love! My son wears 13.5-1. I got these in 1, 13 and 12 . 1 and 13 were too big his heel was coming way out. Size 12 were too tight. Same with my other son who wears 10.5-11. The sizes that should have fit him were too big and then I ended up getting size 9. Just too small. Very frustrated with these shoes that I wish for them well .

I love the look of them, they fit my daughter perfectly, as a size up she fell out of. BUT, they rubbed her heels completely raw within an hour of wearing them. Had to throw them away. Very disappointed. Going to stick with crocs.

They should be great shoes; they’re rubber, easy to clean, and easy on and off, but the size chart does not help. I ordered size 7 for my two year old daughter based off of the size chart, but they where super loose. Had to return and order one size down. Now that I have the “right” size, her foot slips out of the back because the heel support is too short. To summarize, the shoes don’t stay on so I’m not happy.

Do not buy!! Blisters all over the back of their heels.

Super practical toddler shoe- washable, durable and cute.

My son is a new walker (16mo) in the size 5-6 range. We tried both sizes, and neither fit his foot well (length and around the heel). I don't think these shoes are good for beginning walkers, so maybe we'll try them next summer as they look like a good shoe otherwise (and I know many who like them).

These were none too small but they still gave my little guy terrible blisters all over his feet. :(
