“Our 9yr old daughter really liked the look of them. Sadly they were too small and there was no larger size to exchange them with. (We returned them and bought a women's pair for twice the price. Hopefully they'll withstand an active 4th grader wearing them.)”
“My kids love their Vessis, but I'm on the fence. They both need help getting them on their feet in the morning, which is not at all convenient. I think these should come with a shoe horn to assist with slip on. This means that they can't wear them on days that they have swim at school, because they would need the teacher to help get the shoes back on. Besides, the light blue was dirty the first day they were worn, so they immediately looked old. I haven't tried washing them yet, but I will. I wish I had ordered them in gray. I was also surprised to see that I ahead to size up a lot - the measurements were tricky. My kid who wears a 2 barely fits into the J3 and the one that wears a 3 needed J4.”
