Great shoes for my toddler. He seemed comfortable in them from the minute he wore them. It's a little hard to get his feet in them, but maybe that's due to his wide feet. My only real negative is that, when he wore them in the sandbox, a lot of sand got stuck in the grooves inside, on the footbed. It took a couple minutes to get the sand out of the grooves. Not a big deal, but I'm used to just shaking the sand out!
