I’m actually a 7.5 in women’s and these size 5 in kids fit perfectly for my short stubby toes! I love them! ?

Child liked the look of these online, but didn't love the sole feel when she tried them on. By comparison to the Teva Hurricane XLT2, this sole feels "itchy" because it isn't smooth. If you have a texture adverse child, I'd recommend other Teva sandals over these - cute as they are!

Measured my daughter and compared to their size chart to ensure a proper fit and it was spot on. These are comfy, easy for a five year old to put on themselves, and easy to clean. They’re also great for not so narrow feet. Well made, and you can get a pair for yourself that match ?Buy them!

My daughter has worn these sandals half a dozen times and the outsole is separating from the insole. She's worn them on the playground, mostly, and to school a couple of times. She's not doing anything unusual in her play - I don't think that this can be an expected outcome after so few times of wearing them. I'm pretty disappointed.

I bought my 8 year old a pair of adorable sandals! I sought out this branch because they're notorious in the hiking community and I figured with how much we are outdoors, they would last. The bottom layer came off within 2 weeks (pink, attached to the black sole). After three weeks, the black part cracked in half at the straps. These shoes didn't last a month.

I bought them and the very bottom of the shoe started to fall off before a week was even up. Tried to get ahold of Teva and good gosh that is an AWFUL experience. Took DAYS and umm they don't answer emails in case you're wondering. Sent photos. They don't care you need to take time out of your day to ship them back then it can take up to two weeks AFTER they receive them for them to inspect them and then they will send you the same pair. I gave up and threw them in the trash. We will never shop teva again. We normally buy 5 pairs each year and it's so sad they have such a horrible warranty that I will never come back.

Nice sandals too big. Will order next size down. I am a petite 72 year old woman who wears a 2.5 so 3 was too big, I’m hoping 2 will work.

My daughter loves these sandals. Great for summer camp and vacations as they're comfortable and can get wet.

These are very comfortable sandals for everyday wear for my 3 year old. I will continue to purchase more of these as she grows.

I've been purchasing Tevas for years. My first pair was found at an Academy, and now that I know my size and style preference, I return every year to look at the new patterns. I've got 4 pair (because, I mean, how many pair can a gal have), but I've purchased many more for my granddaughter who outgrows them every 6 months at this point. I just purchased her 4th or 5th pair, and she ADORES them. She wears them hard - and with everything - dresses, pants, shorts, bathing suit... it fits them all. I love how the original sandal allows her to have more of a barefoot feel. She even wears socks with them in the winter.

My daughter is 5 and very little so it's hard to find shoes to fit on her properly. This sandals has a perfect fit( I measured her foot according to the size chart). The straps help to give the extra layer of comfort since she has skinny fee tso we can adjust . It's very easy for her to put on and off. She wears the sandals all day long for summer camp (7+ hours a day), perfect for walks, running around, climbing, beach . It's the perfect summer sandals

I bought these for my 2 year old granddaughter. The first day she wore them swimming and playing and wouldn't take them off for her nap. She LOVES them so much.

This is the perfect summer sandal for kids. The straps are adjustable for comfort and can get wet and dry quickly.

I had to buy some new sandals and I had heard that Teva sandals are very comfy. So I decided to try them. I am an adult that wears children size shoes. They are perfect. They are comfy.

I pretty much live in my Teva Original Universal 9 months out of the year. They are my favorite for day to day, around the house, river runs, kayaking, gardening, ... you name it. A few years ago, I started buying them for my oldest grandchild, and she's probably on her 5th pair now. Recently, I decided to get her little brother a pair for his 4th birthday. He loves them! I prefer the flexibility and trim sole of the Teva Original Universal - especially for kids with growing feet. They don't limit movement and are more along the lines of a barefoot shoe. It keeps them grounded. They can get them on and off easily (independence). They don't cramp their feet and toes, great for the park, lake, trail, or the pool, and are so easily adjustable. Win/win/win!

These sandals are awesome. They are extremely comfortable, durable and well made. We like the versatility of being able to wear it for walking around town or going to the beach/pool. We got one of these for each of us in the family and intend to keep purchasing them as the kids outgrow theirs.

Got a pair of these for each of my kids, size 10 for my 3 year old, and youth 5 for my 9 year old. They fit perfect, both kids love them. They are the perfect summer sandal. I grew up getting a pair of tevas every single summer of my childhood. These are the same basic sandal I remember. We spend our summers out in the gardens, on the lake, on and off boats, hiking etc and tevas handle it all. Wet or dry. They stay on and should last us the season.
