My daughter learned to walk in these.

They slip on and off really easily, but once you fasten the velcro they stay on. All the shoes we tried before these, she immediately went to work pulling off. But these she just ignored like they weren't even there.

They give her great traction, which helps her walk more confidently. When we first put them on, she was just starting to stand on her own. Two months later she's running everywhere and they still (just barely) fit.

These are great shoes and I can't recommend them enough. We've already got the next size up.
