Anja says: "These shoes are great for wearing in almost any casual setting. Great fit. I like the lace holders."

Very cute shoes! My stepdaughter loved them. They seemed a little bigger than her normal size but she will grow into them.

Getting these shoes to fit was an exercise in frustration. Most of the reviews stated that they run 1/2 size too big, so we went down 1/2 size from her running shoes. Those were too big and 3 other shipments later, we finally got the right size 3 sizes smaller than her Brooks running shoe. They are very cute and I hope they hold up well and are comfortable for her to wear to school. They have pretty flat soles, which can be a problem for kids who need more support.

My daughter is very picky about how her shoes fit/feel. She absolutely LOVED these shoes! She says they are very comfortable and the print is really cute. They have become her go to shoes!

I purchased these cute little shoes for my niece as a Christmas gift! She absolutely fell in love with these Vans! Super comfy. They do run a little bigger than normal but other than that, they are perfect!

My daughter is a size 4. The reviews said the shoes run big so we got a 3.5. The shoe is still too big. We will need a 3. Unfortunately this color doesn't come in a 3!

The Vans shoes are so cute. Both my kids love them. My daughter loves the sliver ones. My son loves all of them. They look super cute. They do not fall apart and my kids are very rough on their shoes so this is a great put together shoe. Zappos had great service also. I would suggest buying these shoes for you and your kids.

These shoes are really cute! As with all vans they run a whole size bigger than marked. The glitter almost gives the shoe a rainbow glitter effect.

These are adorable! Daughter wore them the day she got them and received so many compliments. The colors on the sneaker allow them to make most outfits. She had no trouble wearing them in and never complained that they were giving her blisters, etc. We bought these to replace Sketchers Bella Ballerina shoes. Every day after school she would come home saying her legs hurt so bad. Finally I thought it could be the shoes. I looked them up and they weigh so much!! I quickly ordered these which of course from Zappos came lightening fast. Her legs no longer hurt. Disappointed that I bought an expensive pair of shoes that are useless, but glad that we replaced them with some good ones!

My daughter loved this shoe! Sparkle material a big plus. The sizing shot it down. It is huge can't say if it ran a 1/2 or full size bigger ordered the 11 and 11.5 and there was no difference in the size between these 2. Very difficult when ordering on line vs. in person.

We love these shoes and have bought Vans in the past. I think they run 1/2 to a full size bigger. My daughter has a narrow foot and these fit well once I get the length right.

My 6 year old girl is in love with these shoes and they look so darn adorable on her. She wears a 13 normally and we had to order a 12.5 normal width for her which fits her like a glove. If your child has wide feet, don't bother, as my older girl had to return hers to much disappointment. The fabric is very thick and sturdy, and wearing around the house so far has no complaints. Not much arch support but overall great casual shoe. Thanks Zappos!

Adorable shoes. Not the best quality though. My daughters shoes started to fall apart within just a couple of days of wearing them. She loves them so much though, she wears them all the time! Zappos' service is awesome! I order the wrong size at first and they made the return/exchange process so EASY! Thanks Zappos!

Zappos has great prices! After picking a shoe, the process for ordering was fairly easy. They have a lot of brand names and sizes. We got the shoe within two days and delivery was free. We had to return a pair that was too big, but we sent it back, got our money credited and got the new pair right away. We're very pleased with Zappos.

These shoes are awesome and our little diva loves them. It has been our experience that girls Vans run at least a 1/2 larger than normal, so if youre going to buy them, take that into account.

My daughter loves this shoe! I was worried the platform would be too high, but it's not at all. I'm not sure why the picture makes it look that way. It's basically just a regular sole.

Super cute shoes! Bought these for my daughter and she loved them. Comfortable and stylish. I did feel like they ran a little big though. Once we got the right size, they were great.

I love these shoes! I'm a 6.5 size in womens. I was worried if size 4 Youth was too small, but Vans tend to run a little big, so I bought them. Plus, don't worry if you're not sure if they fit because Zappos offer free returns!

The pictures of this shoe do not show that the material is glittery all over, not just the glittery material on the tongue of the shoe. We were a little surprised by that, but, of course, our daughter loved it!
