My 1-1/2 year-old son has very big calves, and these were the only boots that would fit him at all. They are also much easier to put on him than most other boots. They seem to be waterproof enough, and the design is super cute. My son quite enjoys wearing them.

But there are a couple of things I don't like. The "handles" are useless for a young toddler, since they don't really know how to cooperate with the process of putting the shoe on. They just make the boots taller (read: tighter around calves) for no good reason. And there's something off about the general shape of the boot. I can't quite explain what it is, but it always feels to me as if it's not on right, even when it is.
