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

These maybe good for some but my kids narrow foot steps right out. I would like more grip on the sole too.

The style is really cute but they are very hard to get on his feet, even though they are the right size and they rubbed blisters. I thought they just needed to be worn in but as you can imagine, he doesn't want to wear them long enough to do that. When I try to put them on him he cries so he has literally only worn them once. Waste of a lot of money.

These shoes are really cute and durable so I was hoping they would work out but no luck. They are incredibly hard to get on. Once the shoe is on, my kids feet fit fine in them in terms of length but my 7 year old said they were really uncomfortable and rubbed his heels. For my 2 year old I couldn't even get them on his pudgy feet. Unless you want to battle your kids shoes every day I would pass on these.

Don’t come in wides for chubby toddler feet. Sadly had to return

My children have very narrow feet but given the positive reviews on Natives and many parent friends that own the brand for their children I opted to try for summer shoe. They normally wear keens. They fit very wide on both my kids and without strap adjustment no way to adjust the fit. It would defeat the purpose to wear the shoe with socks. I did keep for my toddler, age 2 with a size 5 foot. He likes to climb a lot like his older brother, especially up the slide and these provide little traction and foot support. My kids also like to ride scooters and I feel these will provide limited support for active children, unless they have a wide foot. I personally cannot recommend this shoe for children with narrow feet. They are very cute though and easy to clean.

My son is wearing 10s but for some reason these were way too big!

Mostly a good shoe, but we left them outside to dry and they deformed in the heat. I was surprised they were not more durable.

My daughter is a 8.5 and the 9 is too big. I also think $35 is crazy for a toddler shoe. A child's shoe should not cost as much as an adult's shoe. The Croc's I just ordered for myself were cheaper than these shoes.

I originally ordered a size 9 and my son walked right out of them. I then ordered a size 8 and they were still too big. Also, I noticed the sole is raised and therefore contributed to my son's heel lifting in and out of the size 8 as well. Nothing to truly support or secure to keep the feet inside the shoe.

I just ordered these for my (really large) 10 month old. I ordered a size 4 and size 5. The four, I can barely squish his foot into and the 5 is pretty big. He has super wide and fat feet and I thought based on reviews these would be perfect. The back is really low and his foot keeps slipping out of them. Any time he tries standing up, his foot pops out of the shoe. I wished the back was a little higher, otherwise these would be a perfect shoe. Unfortunately these need to go back.

My son absolutely loved these shoes, and I thought they were just adorable. Unfortunately, they run small, and after returning and getting the correct size, we found them pretty hard to put on, and now he has started getting blisters from them. Unfortunately, although I thought these were a stylish alternative to Crocs for summer shoes for a toddler, we will be purchasing Crocs next!

I received used shoes. It wasn’t even discreet - the soles were dirty, the inside was caked with dirt, and the white parts were discolored from being worn. Zappos replaced the shoes, but now I have to take time to go return the old ones. Very annoying. What is going on with Zappos quality control???

FAKE!! I received fake natives. I compared them to my sons other pairs of native shoes and the symbol on the sole and overall material are different. I’ve had this same problem when I ordered from Amazon. Do yourself a favor and order from Nordstrom or another retailer. The real ones are much better. These also smelled much worse like chemicals. Photo one are my sons pair from Nordstrom and photo two are the ones I just purchased. You can see the fake logo in the second photo.

no rating, you sent me the wrong item!!!!! totally aggravating, I did not get the hot pink shoes I ordered. I got two pairs of the same light pink shoes. This was a gift!!!! clearly your packaging dept did not look inside the box before they shipped the item.

Toddler with blisters! Not worth it.

These are so hard to get on! I spent about a minute trying to wrestle these on my toddler before giving up. Sizing was correct so I consider this a design flaw. Additionally, Zappos sent them without a box, and they arrived all misshapen. I don’t think this effected my ability to get them on, but I would have returned them for that reason alone.

The shoe felt stiffer than previous versions of the same shoe and cut my daughter's foot. Seemed to be a fake, not authentic Native Jefferson.

One of the two shoes warped in the sun and now won't fit. Kids leave shoes places, this is unacceptable for kids shoes!

My son wore these to the lake and took them off. When he went to put them back on, they had melted and no longer fit. I would think that shoes that are made to go into water would be heat resistant. This is very frustrating!

Don’t like the heel of the shoe, it flips off of my son’s feet

I am utterly confused by these shoes which I love! My son wears 13.5-1. I got these in 1, 13 and 12 . 1 and 13 were too big his heel was coming way out. Size 12 were too tight. Same with my other son who wears 10.5-11. The sizes that should have fit him were too big and then I ended up getting size 9. Just too small. Very frustrated with these shoes that I wish for them well .

I love the look of them, they fit my daughter perfectly, as a size up she fell out of. BUT, they rubbed her heels completely raw within an hour of wearing them. Had to throw them away. Very disappointed. Going to stick with crocs.

Do not buy!! Blisters all over the back of their heels.
