Kids' Swoosh 1 Essential Sneaker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a mom of two, I’m always looking for shoes that are, comfortable and easy for my child to manage independently, and the Nike Swoosh 1 Essential Little Kids’ Water Shoes are a great choice. My six-and-a-half-year-old daughter immediately loved the all-black look and the black on black design. She said they look “cool” and especially likes the pattern on the bottom of the sole. While she mentioned that they can feel a little “weird” when first putting them on with completely dry feet, she quickly added that it’s “weird in a good way” and found them comfortable once she started walking around with them. She usually wears clog-style sandals to swim school, but these will be perfect for beach days, pool outings, and other summer adventures where I’d rather her feet were protected. One of my favorite features is how quick and easy they are to put on. The simple design encourages independence, allowing her to get ready on her own with minimal help. Another bonus is that they look more like regular sneakers than traditional water shoes (bright colors), so they stay stylish even when we’re heading out to run errands before or after the pool. Overall, these are a great combination of versatility, comfort, and style, and both are very happy with them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Recently got this for my son. First of all, I (and he) liked the sleek minimal look of the shoes. I got them a little bigger so his feet would grow into them. I believe they will fit true to size once his feet have grown a little. The strap is very convenient and makes putting on the shoe on and off easy for him. The laces appear to be just for show, but look real enough. Overall a great product for little kids and he will be using them to run around the playground. No complaints overall.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Looking for an all around kid shoe that’s durable and cute at the same time? Look no more! These are it. My 5 year old has worn them to school, on play dates, to the park, to church, with sweat pants and shorts, even skirts. She says they are very comfortable and I believe it because these are the first shoes she reaches for all the time. The material feels flexible but durable. They are true to size. We went with the black to hide dirt or stains but they come in others nice colors and my girl is already asking for pink ones. The easy pull and strap makes them super kid friendly. I wouldn’t change a thing about these!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have to start my saying that my preschooler LOVES these shoes, out of all of his shoes, these are the ones he always asks to wear. I got these in a sizes 11C for my son, he’s currently between sizes, wearing a size 10C or 11C depending on the shoe. These shoes seem to run true to size, as they are consistent with the majority of his size 11C shoes. He says that these shoes are very comfortable and light, according to him he can “jump so high and run so fast” in them. To the touch, these shoes have a cushioned insole but they’re a little flatter inside then some other shoes, which I think provides him with a more natural fit and feel that he likes, almost like not wearing a shoe at all. I like that they’re well cushioned around the ankle and have a wide velcro strap, which seems to provide a secure fit that keeps the shoes on during adventurous play. I also like the rubber sole on the bottom of the shoe that seems to have great grip, allowing for even more secure play without slipping, as well as the added rubber sole that comes over the big toe for added protection and durability, since kids have a tendency to drag their toes when walking and running. Last, but certainly not least, I like the pull loop on the back of the ankle that makes them easy to slip on, as well as the mesh and rubber materials used on the upper of the shoe that are very easy to wipe clean. There isn’t a thing I’d change about these shoes, I’d highly recommend them, and plan to continue to purchase them in bigger sizes as he grows.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Over the years we've ran the shoe gammit trying everything from vans, Jordans, sketchers, converse, air max 360s, and nothing really stuck with him. After purchasing the essentials, I can tell a difference. He's excited to put on his shoes - on the right foot- and head to whatever adventure we have planned. He doesn't complain of tightness and he's able to do everything in them. I'm considering getting another pair because of all the wear and tear on the.
