These shoes excel as first walkers with a flexible sole and wide toe box that support natural foot development. The breathable mesh material keeps feet cool, and the easy velcro closure helps toddlers put them on independently. Fit runs true to size or slightly small—consider sizing up for chunkier feet, as the velcro can feel snug across the top. The lightweight, grippy design holds up well to active play and even water exposure.

Velcro came off
I purchased these shoes and the velcro separated from one of the shoes after less than 2 months of light wear. Very disappointed in the apparent quality of this shoe as compared to the original version of Nike Swoosh.

Nike swoosh 1 Essential Baby/Toddler Shoes
Cute shoes that fit my little one well. We have even used them while playing with water outside and they got soaked. Well you can just wring them out and leave them to air dry and they're perfectly brand new just as they were before. Would definitely recommend.

Nike toddler shoes
These shoes are fantastic! My son loves them very much. They are nice to slip on and he can do it himself. He is a very independent little guy so that is a huge plus for us. He is very sporty and I feel like they contour to his feet very well. I would love to get some for my other kids. Also i love the color and I think he does too. They are so vibrant.

Perfect first shoe
My 9 month has been wearing the Nike Swoosh 1 essential non stop! They are a perfect first shoe in comfort and flexibility! Plus every outfit looks so cute and stylish with them on. He has chunkier feet so it’s hard to get shoes on him normally but these are perfect. I would say they run TTS or slightly small. Leaning more towards slightly small but I’m not sure if that’s because his feet are chunky. I highly recommend these shoes!

Great Shoe for New Walkers
The Nike Swoosh 1 Essential Baby/Toddler Shoes are a great option for new or unsteady walkers. The rounded toe box gives little feet plenty of room, and the flexible sole bends easily, which is important for proper foot development and movement. They were a little narrow when putting them on, but once my toddler was wearing them, they fit comfortably.
I like the overall design. The velcro…

Nike Swoosh Toddler Shoes
Nice comfortable Nikes for toddlers. Easy slip on and light flexible material, feels nice and sturdy. Sizing seems true to size. My daughter loves the bright colors. Has good grip for when she is running and playing at the playground. I like how flexible the shoes are and should hold up for my active toddler.

Great toddler shoe
The shoe itself is very lightweight, almost like a barefoot approach. The fabric feels thin but durable, creating an easy wipe down of shoes when needed. The toe space is wider than most toddler shoes which appears to be more comfortable for my little one. It allows for your child to grow and shape into the shoe. These shoes are easy for toddlers to put them on and take off by themself. My…

Bright and Comfy
I loved these bright red and orange Nike Swoosh Essentials shoes. They are very flexible, which is great for new walkers. The Swoosh strap is attached with velcro and the toe flap moves over so you have more room to help assist your little one get these on. I love the breathable fabric, especially for summer time. The bright colors elevate any of my child's outfits. I wouldn't change a thing about these shoes and I'll be needing to get them in more sizes for his growing feet.

Runner by Day, Elsa by Night
These shoes have been the object of my kids eyes since they entered the house. Both are obsessed but they currently only fit one pair of feet. My five year old loves how they feel. They are light weight and she doesn’t want to wear sock with them because she’s likes the feel. Fortunately, they are easy to wash and quick to dry. My daughter loves to wear them and says they are great for dancing. My…
