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

My son wears a 1 sometimes 1.5. I ordered a 2 and they are too small. They are really cute so I’ll save them for my younger som and put him in them sooner!

LOVE the shoes! However, they are very narrow. We got lucky b/c our little guy has narrow feet. Because they are narrow, it makes them hard to pull on.

These are cute shoes, but I found them rather small for my child, and not as easy to get on and off as others.

Good looking shoes but VERY narrow. My son could not get them on with socks. We had to return them so I don't know how well they hold up but Vans are usually pretty good. I was sad to return these.

Narrow and hard to get on - even with a shoe horn, my son had a hard time getting this on - the laces don't stretch much and the tongue gets squashed down easily. Too bad, since straight out of the box, he said, "wow, these look so cool..."

My son loves these they add style to his bland uniform

After reading other reviews, we ordered this a full size larger than my sons current size. Right out of the box the shoe was very difficult to put on his foot. We stuffed it with balls of socks over night and the next day he was able to put the shoe on himself. He says they are comfortable now, and we love the look.

We purchased these to replace his worn Vans and I got them a half size larger than he currently wears. After reading the reviews I thought it would be fine because he has a narrow foot but we could NOT get his feet in these shoes. It ended in crying after more than one attempt. We even took out the laces and cut the elastic inside but it didn't help.

My kids loves these vans because they are stylish and comfortable. They insist on my buying them every year in all colors and styles.

my sons always wears these shoes so comfortable on his feet. The style is great and he loves the color

Bought it for my 10 year old he is so happy, I think it is what everyone is wearing now. Happy son happy Mom, getting them through ZAppos was the best.

They are difficult to get on- I have to help my 7yr old and use a shoe horn. But he loves them, and I think that with wear, they will get easier to get on.

my son got the orange ones he says the kids always say something about his shoes. No has those at his school.

Trendy and affordable

Great shoe, very comfortable and stylish

Returned. Too narrow for my sons wide feet.

Got them for my nephew because he loves dinosaurs and he loved them

My six year old is wild about these and wears them everyday. Fit was right on and they grip well enough for him to MTB ride in! The dinosaurs are adorable.

After reading the reviews saying that the shoes ran small, I ordered my 9 year old son both a 4.5 and a 5, he usually wears a 4.5. The shoes were huge, I sent both back and bought a 4 and he has room to grow in them. I have always found Vans to run large.

Super cute but as most others already stated they are very hard to get on. We ended up returning them and going for the old school mids.

My daughter has a pair of Vans Kids SK8-Mid Reissue V (Little Kid/Big Kid) size 4.0 which she wears right now. Because the other reviews said these Authentic's ran small, I ordered them in a size 4.5. They were BIG in comparison.

Shoes are cute, but a little narrow and elastic laces are tight! I cut them and removed the laces all together! Very comfy now with the internal elastic on the sides of the tongue.

My son couldn't get these shoes on his feet. Nightmare to put on the tongue won't move out of the way enough to put them on.
