Customer Reviews Vans Kids Authentic (Little Kid/Big Kid)

Super cute! My 4 year old is in love with these shoes. She has a wide foot, so perfect for those kids who have Fred Flintstone feet.

Ordered these for my daughter and she absolutely loves Vans. She usually complains about shoes being uncomfortable but has never complain about any of her Vans.

I bought these for my 9 year old daughter for Christmas...though she hasn't worn them yet, they are super-adorable! When held (sole-to-sole) next to a pair of her tennis shoes (that she currently wears, w/toe room), they appear to be similarly sized...based on that, I would say they run true-to-size. SO cute, and go with everything! Zappos' customer service is totally on-point, too. When I made a purchase of a different pair of shoes for my other daughter, I realized quickly I ordered a size that was too small. Zappos made the exchange totally stress-free! They have an online exchange option, which is SO convenient when you can't make personal phone calls at work! Thank you, Zappos...you rock! :)

My daughter loves these, her first pair of vans. They are comfortable and as durable as ever. Great for everyday wear!

My daughter really loves this shoe.....

My 11 yo granddaughter loves these! She has been in a big kids' 3-3.5 in other shoes, but the 3.5 in this style was too small. I returned for a sz 4, and it's PERFECT. This shoe definitely runs small! Recommend these, just size up

Zappos rocks...again! Ordered a pair for my granddaughter and she was over-the-top happy with them. Those little daisies add just enough accent and the fit is perfect. Thank you Zappos!

My daughter loves these so much...she has worn them everyday since we got them in the mail. They are durable enough for everyday wear and she says they are very comfortable.

It is very easy to order through your website. The shoes we wanted were in stock and shipment was made as promised. Our granddaughter really loves her new tennis shoes. We will definitely continue shopping at Zappos and will recommend you to our family and friends. Thank you.

My daughter loved the adorable hula girl pattern. I ordered her a size down based on the reviews and my daughter felt they were snug/tight so I'm going to try ordering her these shoes in her usual size.

These are for my seven year old daughter. They are great. She loves the different patterns and I love the quality! You can never go wrong with Zappos!

I used to wear Vans when I was a kid, so I bought some for my daughter. These are your basic cotton canvas sneakers with a really cute print. I prefer the lace up over the slip-ons; the slip-ons are really tight and were difficult for her to put on by herself.

I wear size 7.5-8 in women's normally, and found out the biggest kid's size shoe (big kid 6) matches up to women's size 8. I find that the shoe size is actually very similar if not the exact same as a pair I have in a similar style in size 8. They run slightly narrow, so if your feet are slightly wide then you'll feel a squeeze. I'm wearing thick ankle socks with them right now since it's cold, so they'll hopefully stretch a bit. Come spring, it should fit fine with thin no-show socks.

I got these Vans for my daughter. She absolutely loves them. I originally bought a size 12, she wears size 11. But the size 12 was way too small, so we went with a size 13. They fit perfectly with a little room to grow.

These shoes are adorable. I got them for my pre-k daughter. They look great with everything.

I buy all my kids shoes through Zappos. Its friendly, reliable and consistent with their customer care - that's why I keep buying from this wonderful company. They're always there for me and my family!

Love these shoes. They run true to size. I ordered a half size smaller. Zappos was great. They exchanged at no cost to me. And they shipped me the right size on the same day I returned the wrong size. I will order again from Zappos.

Really cute! The iridescent eyelets add a little pizzazz. I got them to use as school uniform shoes for my 2nd grade daughter. She really likes them and chose to wear them on the 1st day of school!

Purchased the Hawaiian floral (black) Vans for my 10 year old daughter in her usual size but this certain pair seemed to run small and had to return for 1 size up. The print is great and my daughter loves them!

I will say, these are my absolute favorite vans besides the one with flamingos on them. I have received so many compliments on them and they go with everything. I will say, I have always been a size 3 in kids and I had to exchange these twice for, eventually a size 4. So I would recommend trying them on in store before purchasing them online. But other than that I'm so excited to add these to my collection.

Fits a little smaller - which is fine, because I ordered too large! I like giving my kids grow room with new shoes, usually about 1/2 size worth. My daughter is a runner so she's very picky about her shoes. Unfortunately, she's also got terrible ankle posturing so most shoes break in horribly with her gait. Shoes that are flat last her the longest, and with her feet, are the most comfortable for her. She doesn't wear these for running - they are her "every day" shoes. A normal trip to the store takes at least an hour of trying to find the right fit. I love Zappos because I can order the size and style I know she'll like without a fight, hand them to her, make sure they fit, and we're done. It only takes me a few minutes online and I have them the next day. Saves a lot of struggle & time. Thank you, Zappos!

Got these shoes so my little girl could learn to tie her shoes. She loves the way they look and have helped her learn, too.

These fit great and look great but they will wear quickly. My daughter wants to wear them everyday; however, they are not athletic shoes. I will purchase another pair to rotate. Two pair versus one pair of Nike I guess!

My daughter loves these shoes! The bright pop of color is great for little feet looking to feel cool and look good. We love Vans. My daughter, who wears non-athletic sneakers almost every day, tried Tom's and Converse. None of them fit her foot like these Vans. I like them because they are much better cushioned and comfortable than those other brands too.

Something is up with the lasts these shoes were built on. Vans must've changed manufacturers or factories or something since last summer. My daughter bought Vans - same style, different color, kids size - at the Vans store at the beginning of summer. They ran large so we bought a 2 (she normally wears a 3) . After a few months they wore out (she used them a lot, including in a river). So we purchased these in a 3, a half size larger since her feet are still growing. Upon arrival, she tried them on and found them (the new ones) to feel at least a size smaller, not larger as the size indicates. What's up Vans? So now we're going to try a 4, which is nuts! I'll report back when we get them.
