This is the 4th pair of Toms I have gotten for my nearly 4 year old and they are the best out there. They are super easy for her to get on herself and the Velcro tab makes them stay on much better than other slip in shoes. The patterns are adorable and they work well with or without socks. The sole is a lot more sturdy on these than on the adult version as well. And we can match! Best of all, another kid somewhere gets a pair too. If you buy in store they let you choose which country they will send them to. We don't have a store locally so its just when we travel and find one. All in all they are fun, cute, and functional shoes for kids.
