The vision of Native Shoes is "Keep It Lite." The Vancouver, Canada, company believes that each wander can be made a wonder. Native Shoes are made from innovative materials including Liteknit fabric and injection-molded EVA foam, which comfortably molds to feet and is lightweight, washable and odor-resistant. Founded in 2009, Native Shoes is also "beast free"—not a hair nor hide of any animal anywhere is used in the creation of its shoes.
These shoes are perfect for my son who has wide feet. I originally purchased the Jefferson Native's and they were way too tight. These shoes also run small. I recommended getting one size up.

Cute yet ...impractical shoes
First time wearing the shoes yesterday and within a couple hours the shoe rubbed against my son's ankle and rubbed a layer of skin off. Now my son has a blister-like sore. Didn't expect this from any shoes. Will be returning these cute yet impractical kid shoes

Great summer shoes
My 3 year old son LOVES these shoes for summer and playing in the water, wearing to the pool etc. We prefer this style over the traditional native shoe style for ease of getting on and off. Bought one pair for school for when they play in the water and one pair for home fun.

Favorite shoe for our toddler
This is our favorite and easiest shoe to put on our son. Sizing is true to size. It is also easy to clean. Will definitely purchase more in a different color.

great choice for an active toddler
LOVE LOVE LOVE these shoes. My active 13 m/o kid is all over the place right now, and we usually leave a trail of shoes and socks wherever we go. He likes these shoes, so they actually stay on his feet.

THE Native for wide toddler feet
I tried the Jefferson style but it was so hard to get on my toddler (19 months). Ordered the Miles style and they are perfect! So glad they offer this one as an alternative while still having the function and style as Jefferson.

The ultimate toddler summer shoe!
These shoes are fantastic! They are super cute and my son didn't get any blisters even though he started wearing them a ton right away. They are wide enough for toddlers with wide feet and are easy to slip on and off. They are perfect for summer and I want to buy more colors and sizes for the future!

A Toddler Summer Time Must Have!
Best summer time shoe for little ones! Just slip these on and you're out the door. No socks needed. No laces to tie or trip over. No worries if they get wet at the pool/beach. They stay on little feet much easier than flip flops but still let feet "breath". Simply wipe 'em down when they get dirty and they'll look brand new.

Cute, versatile shoes for kids!
We are sold on Natives! These are nice enough to pass for school uniform shoes, with the bonus of being extra breathable and practical for anything with water.

Best summer shoes
Our 2nd pair of Natives after my 18 month old son grew out of his last. I love this ‘slip on Vans’ style over the others. Perfect for boating, beach, or whenever it’s too hot to wear socks. Basically everyday. Easy to clean.

Great for wide feet
My 10 year old son has really wide feet. It's difficult to find shoes that work for him but these do. I bought them in preparation for summer camp where they have to have completely enclosed shoes (so Crocs won't work).
