After receiving these boots and reading the reviews, it sounds like there is a size control issue when the boots are made. I was desparete for a pair of boots for my 21 month old who outgrew her boots in Jan. Apparently stores don't carry boots by Jan. even though there are still a few months of winter so I turned to Amazon and found these. I thought the boots were really cute, warm and felt comfortable when I received them and my daughter was super excited to wear them. However they are unwearable. The cut of the boot is incredibly wide and the bottom of the hole where the top of the foot slides in is cut much higher than it should be to secure a foot in the boot, if that makes sense. In other word, when the foot is in the boot, the top of the boot is not sitting on the top of the foot especially closer to the ankle, it's much higher so there is nothing holding the boot on the foot. Nothing about my daughter is narrow or petite, including her feet, and yet the boots wouldn't stay on. She tripped in them 2 times this morning before we left for the store because they came off. They fell off again in her highchair and in the car on the way to and from the store. The best was when they both fell off in the store but it took me a few minutes to realize it so I had to retrace my steps to find them at different locations on the floor. Her toes are exactly where they should be so buying a smaller boot isn't an option because they'll be too small in the toes and the elastic band around the button clearly isn't tight enough to keep them secure. And I'll answer the question before it's asked, no my daughter didn't pull them off. She couldn't even reach them in her high chair or when she was sitting in the shopping cart and they magically disappeared. Based on the overwhelming positive reviews, I'm really surprised that these are so worthless. Maybe I just got a bad pair?
