Both my 4-year-old and my 2-year-old love these shoes. They're lightweight and relatively easy to clean.

There is a downside... toddlers like to help out by throwing these shoes into the washer just like their dirty tennis shoes. One ended up going through the dryer as we did not know it was in the load. I had to order a second pair of shoes for my 2-year-old because she was so upset that one of her new favorite shoes no longer fit. Every part of this shoe can and will shrink when heated. Don't leave it in sunlight, in a hot car, or throw it in a dryer.
