My son is 7 months old and kicks off any shoes we put on him but these are great with the snap close because he can't get them off (unless they are a size too big or something). This is his second pair (he had a smaller pair before this). I highly recommend to all moms and dads to get these. They make a great addition to a baby shower gift back or even as a cute topper to a wrapped gift. They are comfortable for your kiddo, practical for you and nice and warm. My son wears his almost every day.
