Vans Old Skool Crib Baby in Black & White

The BubsNest Verdict

The Vans Old Skool Crib shoes are a hit with most UK parents, who praise their classic style and appreciate the easy on/off single hook-and-loop closure. Many found the sizing and fit to be true, though a few noted they ran a bit small. While some wished for more arch support, most were satisfied with the moderate cushioning. A few parents cautioned that the canvas and suede materials may not hold up as well for very active babies, but overall these seem to be a great choice for families looking for stylish yet practical crib shoes.
