These shoes are well made and durable. They are great for early walkers, and stay on the foot perfectly for runners. The toes are also covered to protect them during falls. I have ordered them since my 3 year old was 1 and now order them for my second little girl, too. The red color is not as described in person and I returned them for the light pink, and I ordered the same size, however the pink is slightly bigger than the red.
