Performs as expected

TLDR: they work very well for casual warm-weather wear, don't expect the impossible I bought this before a trip to Hawaii for my 4 year old, so it could double as beach and walking shoes. Saved room in my bag for a week-long trip! On the beach, she mostly kicked them off right when we got to the sand and they rinse clean very easily. She wore them on a short hour-long hike to a waterfall, they survived going up and down rocky muddy paths but I wouldn't count on them for grip or stability that much (they are just plastic shoes after all). Walking around the city they are pretty ideal, not bad for playground play as well. There isn't much arch support as with sneakers/hikers, so if you are planning some pretty intense walking/hiking just bring those along - these are more for casual use (as expected).

Best shoes!

We have these in purple and pink in the Target Cat & Jack brand. They run differently. My toddler lives in these types of shoes. Purchased the white ones so they can match with everything since Target brand doesn't carry white. She measures a 4.3 and I bought the 4. I wish I bought the 5. She has a chubby foot and they leave faint indentions on the top of her feet.

Just do it!

These are amazing and super cute. My 3 & 4 year old kids can slip them on and off by themselves and they don't fall off even when worn in the water. My kids love them and say they are really comfy. They pick them out every day to wear no matter where we are going. These definitely run a half a size small so size up 1/2 a size! My kids are both about an 11.5 and the 12s are perfect for both of them and my daughter has pretty wide feet. I tried the regular Crocs with that strap on the back and they gave my kids blisters within minutes. I also tried the Crocs that look similar to the Natives for my son and the hole wasn't big enough to get his feet into. (Side note, though.... Crocs has great customer service RE: returns.) The price tag is a bit steep on the Natives, but I found pink ones on Amazon for around $15. I paid $31 for the gray, however. But they're worth it. I will definitely buy them again next year in a bigger size. And everyone always asks where I got these shoes because they're so cute and practical. Just do it! =)

A must have

I am a huge snob when it comes to my kids shoes. They have to be comfy, easy to put on, and cute. Natives check ALL of the boxes and more. I love all of the colors. Bright, neutral, light, dark, they have them all! I also love the different styles. We have a pair of Mary-Jane's for my 4 year old, and the original style for my 6 year old. They hold up so well, season after season. I love that they are light weight, but comfortable and protective which is great for climbing, biking, walking, and all sorts of play. Another huge pro is that I chuck them in the washer when they get dirty, and they come out looking brand new. They are my go to shoe for my kids, and I'll be a forever customer!

Even if You Stink 'Em Up, They Clean Beautifully

My daughter is the literal worst at A) finding her shoes and B) keeping her shoes from looking like they were dragged through a pile of hog manure. So, these hot pink, wash-off plastic bits of brilliance help me A) not drown myself in a sea of despair when she again announces that she can't find her shoes. Instead, I just scan my gray-scale home for the singular pop of pink and reward my keen eyesight with a handful of chocolate chips and B) while these babies can still SMELL like hog manure (Take heed - I have particularly odorous children. Yours may not cause these shoes to smell like steamed piles of sulfur-y hell.), I can toss them in the shower with said stinky child and all emerge smelling fresh and looking clean.

Perfect shoes for summer

These native shoes are perfect for summer with your psycho toddler. They are light and breathable, easy to get on, easy to clean and waterproof. Perfect for your child to wear as they sprint away from you and towards danger. My kids loves these shoes so much that I bought a second pair for when she grows out of them in a week.

Just like big Brothers shoes!!

As always we love our Native Jeffersons. These are my son's favorite shoes! They are comfortable, and durable and look much more stylish than crocs but still have the slipon feel and are washable. This is our 10th pair I think? they work great and even after a year of wear we can set them aside and save them for our daughter to wear when she gets bigger. This year we even got her some in her own size because she wants to do everything big brother does (and I couldn't find her the generic ones in her size this time....the generics fall apart after a few months anyway

Love Love Love

I scored these for a steal and they live up to the hype!! My daughter is 9 and wanted something different to Crocs so I decided to give these a try and I'm so glad I did!! They are easy to get on, comfortable, and keep her toes covered but can get wet- exactly what we needed!

Best child shoe out there!

We absolutely love the versatility of Natives. They can be worn in the water, the dirt, sand, every day wear and they clean up so easily. Don't be afraid of the white, a magic eraser or a nail brush and some soap are all you need to keep them clean. This is the second summer that my 2.5 year old has had Natives and will in the future because we love them so much. They fit true to size, order whatever shoe size your child or yourself are currently wearing.

Perfect Shoe for Summer

I love the warmer weather because that means it is Native season! My 3 year old is rough on shoes, but these last all season. The white toe box will get scuffs, but a Magic Eraser makes them look brand new. They are easy to rinse out in the sink so I don't mind if they get muddy or filled with sand. If they start to smell, I just hit them with a little rubbing alcohol. I wish all of his shoes were this indestructible! And they look great with just about everything. This is the 3rd year that I've bought a pair for him, and I can't wait to grab the new glitter ones for my daughter next year, when she is walking.
