Awesome barefoot shoe!
My son said, “these are the most comfortable shoe I’ve ever had.” We’ve bought other barefoot shoes in the past that were more expensive, but we like these better and are thankful these are reasonably priced. Great for sports and hiking. With daily use, they have held up well, sole and shoe perfectly intact. They have good grip in the bottom and are lightweight. Fit is true to size. He liked them so much, I also got my husband a men’s pair.

Easily pleased my picky kids, great summer shoe, sizing is WEIRD
I bought these for my 7yo who is currently wearing kids size 3 sneakers from Walmart, and his toes touch the tip so he needs the next size. It was HARD getting the right size for him. Saguaro Big Kid size 4 was giant, about 2 sizes too large. We tried a similar shoe by Quikshark brand, and the size 2 Big Kid fit him. I'm still messing with ordering options from this brand to see if we can find the right size for him. We liked these slightly better than Quikshark due to the softer insole and softer base of shoe if you want to remove the insole.I also bought these for my 3yo who is currently wearing toddler shoes size 10. We also tried several sizes before deciding on the ones called 11 Little Kid.When the shoes arrive, their EU size is on the sole, which I wish they'd just add that to the Amazon description because it would make it less confusing the difference between Little Kid and Big Kid and Toddler etc.Why we like the shoes: lightweight, thin flexible soles but not too thin. Removable insole has a tiny bit of arch support and heel lift, but you can take out the insole or replace it for a zero-drop fit. We have been learning about barefoot shoes, and these were our first attempt to transitioning the kids to shoes that have thinner soles and room for wide toe splay, without breaking the bank. Both the kids I mentioned are REALLY REALLY picky about shoes, and these were an instant winner once we got the size right.I also bought the same brand in adult sizes for my 10yo, and he's been wearing them everywhere also. My kids spend a lot of time actually barefoot, so I'm grateful to have a shoe option that supports their natural width of foot and toe.My suggestion would be to order three sizes within the general range of what you think you need, and try them on to get the right fit, and return the others. It was a big hassle to keep ordering and returning multiple times, and then not be totally sure which was the right size since the actual shoes are labeled in EU but Amazon has them labeled in US, and since they didn't even match up to the US sizes my kids are actually wearing.

Terrific shoe for toddlers
We have owned several pairs of these now and my son loves them. The quality is great and withstands a ton of abuse. The toe box is large giving room for my kiddo’s growing feet. I can’t say enough good things about these shoes.

Good, with a few flaws.
The shoes are as described, flexible with a large toe box, lightweight..etc.Cons: One complaint I have is the lacing system. The little plastic mechanism used to keep the laces tight constantly comes loose and the shoes fall of. Thankfully, I ordered this shoe and the black pair, and the black pair came with an extra lacing set so I was able to replace the mechanism.The second issue is the durability, I have already ordered a replacement for the black pair, because my son was able to tear a whole in the top of one, while playing outside. Im a bit surprised at this, the yellow/gold pair is still in excellent shape..We have had these for 3 weeks, and are able to machine wash them and then sun dry, which is awesome!I have always made sure my kids wear low drop flexible shoes, but my oldest still has weaker feet, in the shoer time we have owned these I have noticed an increase in my oldest sons foot strength!! I will continue to buy these shoes.

Perfect Fit and Great for Growing Feet
Our son is 4, and we’ve been buying these shoes since he first started walking. They fit incredibly well and always provide plenty of space for his feet. The barefoot design is perfect: flexible, comfortable, and great for healthy foot development. We keep coming back to them because they’re just that good!

Fall apart
Good: great barefoot shoe if you are obsessed with keeping kid’s feet healthy. My 3yo still has pudgy feet which most barefoot companies don’t account for, but these accommodateBad: have a hole starting at the toe where cloth meets rubbery part after 2 months. I’ll still keep my kid wearing them but I doubt they’ll last the school year. Had a pair last year that with stood 2 year old play but not 3 year old

Comfortable for my sensory kid, durable
My 6 year old daughter has serious sensory issues with shoes. She needs tennis shoes and wants to be able to run fast, but she needs to be able to fully move her toes up and down and side to side to feel comfortable. We've tried several other brands of similar looking shoes, but they've all fallen apart quickly. We bought these on the recommendation of a friend, and the are PERFECT! She wears them all day every day, and they are holding up so well. Durable, good looking shoes. Would be good as water shoes, but she wears them as her primary sneakers.We will be buying these for many years to come. Huge fans over here.
