Like everyone else who ordered a size 1, I received a 13. They fit but are a little snug. I purchased these to help my sensory kid wear anything other than crocs and they seem to help. The quality is good for the price.

The shoes ARE great... IF you get what you order. IF you get the size you needed.So frustrating lately with Amazon.The shoes are THE ONLY shoes for active kids with extra wide feet. The toe box allows plenty of room. The shoes are lightweight but very well made and durable. For my family they are perfect.Then you re-order. And nothing goes well

I have finally found a pair of shoes my toddlers can wear after multiple orders and many trips to the brick and mortar stores.Thank you. I feel like a bolder has been was lifted off of me.

I’m so happy to have found a “barefoot” style option for kids that doesn’t break the bank. Little feet should not be squished into pointy toed shoes!My son LOVES wearing these shoes, and he is very tough on his shoes so I appreciate that the price point allows me to order them again when he wears them out.We have previously tried shoes from Splay but found that they ran small and were not properly proportioned for chubby feet. These have plenty of room and fit true to size!

I’m an adult woman, and I bought these as lifting shoes for the gym. You wouldn’t believe how much it helps to not have your foot restricted by a rigid sneaker! Knee pain from lunges, etc. is GONE. Luckily, my feet are small enough for the kids shoes, because I really wanted Velcro and not laces.I initially ordered a 6 (I wear a 7.5 women’s), but they were HUGE. So I ordered a 5 and they fit. My longest toe touched the fabric initially, but they stretched within a couple wearings, and now they are perfect. These were such a great buy. Light as a feather, and super flexible. I won’t wear anything else for weightlifting now.

Back in the “old days,” we used to have our toddlers wear moccasins so they could better feel the ground beneath their feet when they were beginning to walk. Today, I’m happy to say that there are toddler shoes especially made for walking!As soon as I saw these ZVC Barefoot Shoes, I knew I had to get them for my one-year-old grandson. I just wish they had included a size chart because I had no idea what the difference was between Toddler, Little Kids, and Big Kids sizes. So I had to look it up online. As you might expect, Toddler sizes are the smallest, followed by Little Kids and Big Kids.Toddler shoe sizes are usually worn by toddlers between 9 months and 4 years old. Toddler sizes range from 4 to 10, and may also be tagged with a “T” for toddler following the number. Toddler shoe sizes are based on the age and gender of the child. A rule of thumb for estimating a toddler’s shoe size goes like this:For toddler boys, double their age and add two. So, the average one-year-old boy wears a size 4 shoe. For toddler girls, double their age and add one. So, the average three-year-old girl wears a size 7 shoe.The smallest toddler size in this particular brand of shoe is 8T, so I got that one knowing that my grandson would grow into it. And while I was able to figure out the toddler sizes, I still have no idea where the cutoff is between Little Kids and Big Kids sizes. Like I said, they really need to add a shoe size chart!The shoes themselves feature a thoughtful design, quality materials, and good workmanship. They have convenient hook-and-loop fasteners so you don’t have to bother trying to tie the shoes of squirmy toddlers, and you don’t have to worry about your toddler tripping over loose shoelaces either. I especially like the fact that these shoes have a wide toe box so as not to scrunch toddlers’ developing toes.The outer part of the shoe is made of a mesh material so they look kind of like water shoes, but the inside part is a soft smooth fabric. This combination makes them breathable and comfortable while feeling nice against the skin. These shoes have a slight arch, which is an improvement over the flat-footed moccasins that our kids used to wear.They call these “barefoot shoes” so I thought the soles would be super soft, but they are typical rubber soles. However, the soles are pretty flexible and really grippy on the bottom to aid in stable walking with no slipping. It’s actually the insoles that are super soft; it feels like thick moss! So I think that’s where the barefoot idea comes in. Why don’t they make regular shoes this soft???

Wife and I were tired of trying to squeeze our toddler into regular shoes with a wide foot. Now our toddler can put her shoes on herself and strap them ourselves. Very durable and easy to clean.

I love the idea of barely there shoes. I used to get them for my grandkids when they were infants, but then as they grew, their shoes did too. Now most athletic shoes are so thick and sturdy, you might as well be putting army boots on their tender feet.I got a size 12 kids shoe for my 4 year old grandson. They are incredibly light! The soles are very thin. He could probably feel the unevenness of the ground if he walked across gravel, but there's enough protection that the stones wouldn't hurt. The uppers are lightweight with padding at the heel. There are two velcro straps, which is great for my preschooler who doesn't tie shoestrings yet.The only concern I have is that the top of the toe is just fabric. Hunter has been dragging his shoes, toe down, across the pavement, especially when he's pouting about something. He could wear holes in the shoes within a week unless we can break him of that habit. His current shoes have rubber over the toes. Apparently, this is not an uncommon toddler/preschooler activity!Still, the shoes are a great idea and well made. I imagine they will not make the child's foot sweat as much as heavier shoes will do. There is more breathability in the lightweight mesh uppers. I'm excited to give these shoes to Hunter, and see if maybe I should put lightweight barely-there shoes on all the kids! I think it's a better option than sandals!
