I love seeing these adorable shoes on my toddler, they are so cute. He is usually really good at kicking shoes off, and some shoes are difficult to put on him, because he has chubby feet and ankles. These go on without too  much trouble and so far he has not been able to kick them off. Yes, they are somewhat pricey since kids this size grow out of shoes fast, but to me, these were worth every penny.
