Style fit for a champ in a design that's easy to get on? That's the Tatum 3. A collapsible heel squishes down to help little feet slide in with ease. The lightweight upper conforms to kids' feet, giving them a fit that feels secure so they can make the most out of playtime.

The shoes look really fantastic, but I wish they had real laces instead of the elastic fronts. I also wish there was some paper in the toe box of the shoes so that they don't collapse while in storage. Not a big deal and easily fixed.

Grandson loves them. Great shoes, would recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Looking for an easy to wear yet adorable baby shoe? Look no further! These shoes were so cute and my child seemed to think they were very comfortable. They have just enough pop of color to excite little ones yet match a big variety of colors! Extremely easy to put on, wipe off easy for the adventures they will be taken on. We would be back for more of these in other colors.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the first time we've tried the Tatum line of shoes from Nike. Right away, my son was super excited and couldn't wait to put them on. He's been wearing them on and off for weeks now. The shoe is easy to put on and take off, but it doesn't have trouble staying on throughout the day like some other shoes we've had. This kid definitely puts the shoes through their paces between running through the rain and climbing all over the jungle gym. He has never said anything about their fit other than they are comfortable, and he really likes them. Being that these are from Nike, we had no concerns over the build quality or materials. I expect that they'll last for quite some time. He will probably grow out of the shoes long before they start to break down due to wear and tear. The shoes run true to size, so there are no issues there. He is still too young to really take the shoes to a basketball court and try them, but they look like they'd be just fine if he did. Upper ankle support is solid, and when they are laced up, they stay good and tight. Overall, these shoes are exactly what we were looking for, and Nike came through for us again. I'd have no issue purchasing the shoes again because I know he likes them, and they'll stand up to whatever he throws at them. My son will be turning three in a few months, and I can't wait to see what new adventures he comes up with to drag the shoes along with him. From a parent's perspective, I like the durability of the shoes. They can be cleaned pretty easily and handle water without issue. He says they are comfortable and he has no issues wearing them for long periods. The design seems good, and he likes the way they look. I don't think I'd change anything about the shoes. I'm sure he would be interested in some other colorways, but there's nothing wrong with the one he has either. This pair was a win for sure.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As always, my concern with these “shrunk” shoes for kids is that it won’t be a good translation from the big version to the little version that requires parents to put them on. These rock! And are really thoughtful. The collapsing heel is excellent and works really well with the stretchy tongue. Despite those stretchy features, it doesn’t feel lose once it’s on. I actually got a size bigger than usual and it’s fit surprisingly well. Our little guy has been running all over with them and having no issues. He’ll even grab them over his other shoes when we get ready to head out the door!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are fantastic shoes for new walkers and toddlers. My kiddo had a genetic disorder that makes her joints susceptible to injury. These shoes are great for her because they are high quality and provide excellent support. It doesn’t hurt that they are super cute!! I plan to buy these for my older kids as well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] SO MY BABY IS GROWING AND SEEMS LIKE I NEED TO GET HIM SHOES OFTEN SO I OPTED FOR SOMETHING EASY AND QUICK TO GET ON AND OFF. THESE ARE NICE BECAUSE THEY HAVE THAT WIDE TOES BOX WHICH IS GREAT FOR MY GROWING TODDLER. THE DESIGN IS NICE BECAUSE IM ABLE TO MATCH IT TO MANY OUTFITS . THE ONLY THINK I REALLY HAD A HARD TIME WAS TRYING TO OPEN THE SHOE INITIALLY TO PUT MY BABY FOOT IN SINCE THE STRAP IS PRETTY TIGHT AT FIRST BUT THEY SLIP OFF FAST AND THERE ARE NO VISIBLE COMPLAINTS WHEN HE HAD THEM ON

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Design: The overall look of this baby version, with its grey swirls and lime green accents, is very fun and playful. The oversized heel tab and elastic shoelaces were also nice design details that make the shoes easier to put on and take off. Quality: Most of the shoe seems to be constructed well. However, when we received the shoes, part of the rubber outsole was peeling away from the shoe. In my opinion, that’s a pretty big lapse in quality control, even for a pair of baby shoes. Sizing: We got the shoes in size 2C when my little one’s feet measured just under 4 inches. The Nike sizing chart listed size 2C as 10 cm (or 3.9 inches). However, when we the shoes arrived, the tag said 8 cm. Needless to say, the shoes were too small for my little one’s feet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are a must have for the parent of a wiggly little child! I love the look of shoelaces on my kids shoes, but it's so difficult to tie them when he moves around so much! So, having shoes that allow my son to just step into them is so convenient and helpful! Not to mention, they for him well and are adorable!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son loved the bright vibrant colorway of these shoes. The got all of his classmate attention. I loved the width of the shoe, I could tell his toes had more room than other toddler kid shoes. That’s essential for proper growth. It’s nice without requesting a wide, as my son doesn’t have wide feet. He ran, jumped, and climbed in his shoes. I would say they are comfortable for him and stylish.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son is picky about his shoes but keeps reaching for these. A huge selling point is how easy it was for him to slip these on. I love that it’s a slip on with the appearance of laces. The laces are elastic allowing some stretch. I also appreciate a wide toe box, which is harder to find for younger children. The fit is aligned to the brand on sizing and matches the high quality standard they’re known for. I also love how light weight they are and fit as expected for the brand. The sole of the Tatum 3’s provides great traction without the squeaking. I love that it’s a mostly neutral color way shoe with a pop of color on the sole. I like how the design does include the small Jordan logo on the side. The fabric and mesh allow for movement and isn’t stiff. There is breathability so my son does not complain about wearing them for longer periods. My son is able to wear these casually to school but picks them to also run around the park in. There is good foam cushioning on the soles. A huge selling point for these shoes is how quickly and easily you can get these on. My son can get these on with the pull tab if needed and can easily take them off on his own. My son doesn’t have any complains and keeps reaching for these. I don’t think I would change anything about the shoe currently.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Tatum 3 shoes are designed for convenience and comfort, especially for families with kids who are always on the move. The collapsible heel is a game-changer! My nephew can easily slide his feet in without any fuss, which makes getting ready for playtime so much faster. The fit is snug but flexible, thanks to the lightweight upper. The design is simple yet functional, with a sporty basketball look that transitions well between casual wear and active play. The elastic laces add a nice touch, making it even easier for little ones to put them on and off themselves. I really appreciate how the shoe combines practicality with style, giving kids something that looks good while being super easy to wear. The fabric feels light and breathable, which is great for playtime. It’s also surprisingly durable, holding up well to outdoor play without showing much sign of wear. The foam midsole provides cushion without being too thick, so the shoes don’t feel heavy or clunky. What I love most about the Tatum 3 is the collapsible heel. It’s such a smart feature that makes these shoes so easy to get on, especially when you're dealing with a family who's always rushing out the door. Plus, the fit is just right; my nephew has been comfortable wearing them all day, both indoors and out. I’d suggest adding more padding around the collar and tongue. While the shoes seem to be comfortable overall, a bit more cushioning in these areas would help prevent any rubbing or discomfort. It would add an extra level of comfort for those long play sessions. Something else I’d suggest is a darker colorway, just so that the shoes appear cleaner after a few wears.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the packaging of this shoe. The shoe itself is pretty easy to put on especially a moving toddler. This shoe will be great for those who may have a wider foot. I like the pattern on the shoe. The colors of the shoe is nice but the green color used may give pause when trying to come up with different outfits. For a kid this young I won't find it too much as a problem by older kids possibly. The shoes seem to be comfortable as my toddler runs up and down the halls effortlessly. This shoe is not my normal pick of a shoe but it is a pretty cool shoe.
