Customer Reviews Native Shoes Kids Jefferson Slip-on Sneakers (Toddler/Little Kid)

My 2 year old loves these and was hating every other shoe I'd put on him. Hated his sandals because he'd get a rock in there and it would bother him. His regular sneakers are just too hot for summer and if they got wet that would bother him too. This shoe seems to address both of these issues (though I guess if he were on the beach in them he could get sand in there and I'm sure he'd have a problem with that!). If you're on the fence about size, I'd recommend getting a size up. The size 8s just fit him with not a lot of room to grow so I went with the 9s. He has a little extra room but it doesn't seem to bother him and we'll get a bit more use out of them. Plus they're so cute, they look like little Jack Purcells.

Awesome shoes. My son won't wear anything else. He won't even wear his Crocs anymore now that he's been wearing Native Shoes, and that's really saying something. They're easy to get on and off, and they clean up in a snap. They rinse off well and dry quickly. Sand just pours out and since the shoe is made from one piece of rubber, there's nowhere for little bits of it to get trapped. I've also noticed that my son's feet don't smell in these, a wonderful bonus since his feet tend to sweat a lot. He wears them with and without socks with no problems. They work year round for us since we live in a mild climate. I've found them to be quite durable too (my son is very hard on his shoes). Overall a fantastic shoe. Highly recommended!

My kid and I love these shoes. They are waterproof and easy to get on for a three year old. He seems to be happy and comfortable in them all day.

My kids favorite go to are these shoes

We love these shoes for our kids. Great for water days/sports but also just all-around multi-purpose summer shoes. Kids can get them on/off easily.

Great summer shoes for either the water or just every day wear and tear! Bought these for our 4 year old twins and 2 year old. They are great shoes, durable, easy to clean and versatile. The sizing is a bit tricky (run about 1/2 size big) but otherwise we love them. The kids don't trip on them at all and the shoes are fairly easy to put on (we stretch/pull out on the back heel and they pop on). Love them!

We love these shoes! My boys think they are very comfortable and I love that they are easily washed, can get wet, and don't make their feet stink like other sandals. They do run large. We needed one size down from our usual size in stride rite shoes.

These are extremely cute! All four of my kids have these - 9, 7, 4, & 1. I love how light they are and when they get dirty, I just throw them in the washing machine. The perfect summer shoe.

I was so lucky that you had this shoe in the size I needed. Love the shoe. I liked that it arrived just when expected. I would definitely order from you again.

My 4 year old grandson loves them. Size 10 was perfect.

My son loves these shoes!

So adorable!

Be specific about your likes and dislikes. How was the fit and size? What does the material feel like? How awesome (or not) do you feel wearing them?

Looks great! I love the fact that it isn't white on the bottom. So it doesn't get dirty.

The shoes fit nicely and slip easily on and off the feet of my two-year old, which makes them perfect for when you're rushing out the door with young kids. The shoes breathe well which is essential for our hot climate and they also survived two ankle-deep excursions in muddy, bog-like conditions on a long hike. A quick wash and they were good as new. Highly recommend.

Perfect summer shoe

Both my boys (ages 4 and 1) wear natives all spring and summer long. They LOVE them. Easy to put on, take off, and keep clean. The 4 year old’s shoes are still in great shape after playing hard all summer. We save them for his brother to wear down the road. With 2 kids getting use out of them, they are truly worth the money and are so much better than any less expensive dupe out there. The material and construction are soft and comfortable, yet amazingly durable. If you’re on the fence about buying the real deal, just do it. The knock offs don’t compare.

True to size, comfy and durable

The only shoe my kids wear through the summer. Love them!

We love Natives as a kid summer shoe! This pair did not disappoint! My son loved the glow and the far feature.

We LOVE these shoes. I purchased them for my almost 2 year old and he lives in them. They are super easy to put on once you get the hang of it. They are light weight and easy to clean. He wears them swimming and everywhere else these days. They keep his feet nice and cool, but also covered during the hot summer days. I originally ordered a size 5 because he has three other pairs of shoes in that size (Nike & Adidas), which all fit perfect -- but when we tried these on, they were too small. I was really surprised because I read a ton of reviews saying they ran small. We exchanged for a size 6 and they fit perfect! Maybe his foot it a little wide? Either way - we definitely recommend these shoes and will be purchasing many more! Also --zappos provided amazing customer service with the exchange, per usual :)

I bought these for both of my sons, who are 8 and 6. They absolutely love them, and tell me that all the kids at school want them too. Haha! The glow in he dark feature is a big hit, and they seem to hold up well to kids who are pretty rough on their shoes.

These shoes are great and the blue color is beautiful! I found that the Jefferson style fits larger than the Miller style for my child and ordered one size smaller in the Jefferson. Great shoe overall!
