I love how comfortable they are I wasn’t sure what size to get so I went for a kids size 5 and they fit perfect I’m a true size 6.5

Snapped laces and hole within 3 weeks of purchasing
Shoelaces snapped within 2 weeks and there is a hole forming within 3 weeks. I went back into store to ask for another pair of laces but was told they wouldn’t give me any as it’s not in line with their policy. I was hoping they would last longer but sadly not.

Great shoes
Great shoes, my kiddo loved it. It's his first pair of Vans he felt really cool with them on and mentioned they were the most comfortable shoe he's worn.

gender neutral shoes for the win!
Why does my favorite department store continue to organize their shoes by gender (boys/girls)? These gender neutral shoes are the perfect example of how easy it is to mix shoes on the floor so every child can see all the options without the stigma of it being a “boy” or “girl” shoe. Thank you Vans for keeping things neutral.
These shoes are classics and always worth the money. They hold up incredibly well due to the thick rubber soles and sturdy stitching.
