Awesome summer shoes for little ones!
I so wanted to love Native shoes but both my children (3 and 1 years old) have chubby feet and their feet would bubble out of them. I am SO happy with these, not only do they look just like their pricier counterpart but they are comfortable and easy to get on and off. Living in hot Southern California we are in and out of the water a lot so these hold up well to heat, water and all the elements little ones like to get into plus they wash off so easily. I purchased the yellow for my daughter and they are vibrant and adorable! True to size and great for wider, chubbier feet :)

So cute and way to put on
I love these shoes so much for my 3 year old.Pros: very easy for him to put on by himself. He says they are very comfy and they don’t rub on his feet. I love the little animal that comes on the side of it. He can play at the park with them and climb without slipping. They do run a little big but honestly I would rather them run big and he has room to grow then to small.The only con was that the one of the little animals came off while he was playing but that’s not an issue with the shoes. My son plays hard and loves to climb and be crazy so I’m not surprised it snapped off.

Great shoes, but sizing recently changed.
My kids love these shoes. We've gone through 4 pairs between 2 girls and are on our next 4 pairs between the girls. They have held up to a ton of wear and tear and withstood everything. The girls also say they are very comfortable to wear with and without socks. However, the company recently changed their sizing so it took a few tries to sort it out. When I originally ordered these shoes, I ordered their usual sizes, Toddler 8 and 13, and they fit perfectly. On this new round of purchases, these same shoes were a size too small. When I investigated, I realized the sizing change. The original shoes ordered and received were EU 24 (size 8) and EU 30 (size 13). In my recent order, I reordered Toddler 8 and 13, but received EU 23 and EU 29. I went to reorder thinking I was inadvertently sent the wrong sizes but when I put the size 8 and 13 into my cart, they again said EU 23 and EU 29. I finally ordered up sizes to size 9 and Big Kid 1 and received the EU 24 and EU 30. For the record my kids are neither a size 9 or Big Kid 1. They are standard size 8 and 13 and that is what we previously ordered to get the same EU 24 and EU 30. I highly recommend these shoes, but I suggest adding them in your cart first and going to check out. When you get to the check out page, it will show you what EU size is being sent and you can probably figure out if you need to go up or stay based on my experience. If you need a toddler 8, it is the equivalent to EU 24 which is currently sized here as size 9. If you need a size 9, it is the equivalent to EU 25 which is currently sized as a size 10 (my friend had this problem) and if your child is a size toddler 13, it is the equivalent to EU 30 which is currently sized as a Big Kid 1. Maybe the company will realize the change in sizing and correct it, but either way, just look at the EU size once you've started to check out and you'll see if you are getting the right size.

Size is TTS, no rubbing or blisters perfect summer shoe!
Purchased because my twins put their shoes through the ringer and didn’t want to keep purchasing Natives. Was going to give these a go as a cheaper alternative, knowing if they didn’t work I wouldn’t be out too much. Both my girls have wide feet, so off-brand shoes usually are too tight. These have been PERFECT! We’ve had natives and these are a great cheaper alternative! Fit well, no “red hole marks” from chubby feet, and no rubbing on the backs of their feet. Two year olds can put them on/off themselves and they loved the free shoe charm! Definitely will but again.

Sized down and shouldn’t have
I read through a lot of reviews before buying these shoes for my daughter for field day. Her teacher said she would need some easy on/off shoes. She’s 6 and normally wears a size 13, but I sized down according to so many reviews saying that these run big. I went with the size 12 and they barely fit. She’ll probably only be able to wear them for maybe a month or two. I will be ordering more though in the proper size because they’re so cute, comfy and functional. She also loves the little pop-in mermaids.

unicorn charm broke off post
My daughter loved these shoes, however the unicorn charm broke the first day she wore them which was very disappointing. Now she does not want to wear them because only one shoe has the charm

Super soft and comfortable rubber shoes
I bought a few of these types of shoes online for my 6 year old. A couple of them were ok, but the rubber was hard and gave her blisters if she wore it for more than an hour. These shoes were nice and comfortable and the rubber is very soft. I got her a size 12 “, and they were slightly bigger than expected. But she liked them and wore them for a week to school without any blisters. I just bout a size 13, so she has a pair for the summer.
