Love the Velcro Closure

My 2 year old’s feet are still pretty chunky. The Velcro closure allows us to put him in a comfy slip on style. I’d never be able to push his foot into a traditional slip on. Love these!

No

The newish velcro lower cut style is terrible, the shoes stayed on better & looked cuter before. We will not buy Vans until the classic comes back.

Bring back the old slip on

I hopped on here to write this review because I’m disappointed with the new design of this shoe. We have had these slip ons in many sizes and with the new Velcro and backing of the shoe, they are constantly falling off my kids. We won’t buy them like this again.

So cute and functional

These shoes are so cute! Easy to put on and flexible sole which is what I was looking for. They maybe run a tad big, but that just means we’ll get more use out of them. My toddler can take these off which is a good and bad thing, haha.

so cute!

These shoes are the cutest. I’ll be ordering the same ones for me so I can march with my little one. Love, love them. They are wide and the slip on makes them easy to put them and off.
