    I will NOT go back to buying vans for my toddler. His toenail was changing color from the pressure the shoe was putting on it from running and jumping. There was no space for him to wiggle his toes. This shoe has been great to my sons feet. Breathable, easy for him to take on and off, flexible grip to reduce slips when climbing, and no more red toes at the end of the day. They look very nice with anything he wears, which I have to say was a plus. Great for outdoors, and to help kiddo be more independent. So far these are lasting. Will be purchasing more.

    We have tried a number of water shoes, because my son gets so frustrated with sand, dirt or rocks getting into the shoes. We finally found these and he doesn't complain at all! They are comfortable and keep all of the sand/dirt OUT. And they are cute for a water shoe which is a plus

    I love barefoot shoes for adults and want kids to be barefoot as much as possible. We were buying the expensive shoes but kept having to replace them because their feet grow so fast. I found these and honestly will never buy another brand. They have the wide toe box and are wonderful for most terrains!

    We loved the look, style, and feel of these shoes. They have great soles and are super flexible. However, the problem lies in the quality. We purchased in July but my son didn't start wearing these shoes until October when we no longer lived in sandals here in FL. He's worn them for two months and they already broke. He is really light on his shoes, because we're mostly barefoot around here unless it's too cold and we need socks and shoes. Wish they hadn't already broke because we really love how they look and feel.

    Size: 8 Wide ToddlerColor: Yn/Dark GrayVerified Purchase
    We’ve had a hard time finding shoes for our clumsy toddler’s chunky feet but these are a clear winner. They’re lightweight and quick and easy to get on and off. He can run in these without tripping over himself and take them off on his own. I was hesitant because some barefoot shoes can look like clown shoes but this isn’t the case. We really like them a lot!

    These shoes are very comfortable for my 3 year old, however, the toggles stopped working after about two weeks, and in the same time the elastic lace became worn and frayed to the point where it looks like it will break.
