These shoes are almost everything i could ask for for my 1 year old toddler. She's been walking for a while, but curls her toes like a master trying to get on normal shoes. Velcro mary janes she can easily get off. These, she'll leave on! and they are so easy to get on and stay on, while looking cute and being functional. They are a bit wide in the toe box for her, but if your tot has wider feet, they'll be good to go - plenty of room. The extra material doesn't trip my daughter up, so it's fine. I ordered up a little in size and she handles it fine so they'll be worn for a while! I've also bought other similar brands and these are higher quality.
