These were adorable on day 1. My kiddo is very rough and tumble, but still, after a few wears the brown "leather" is tearing off the tip of the toe. These are for sitting and looking pretty only! Depending on the brand he is a 1 or a 1.5 in shoes. We purchased the 1.5 and they were a full size too large if not more, so something to keep in mind.
