They really are cute but....they are 100% plastic, like a water shoe! Great for kids play but unfortunately I will have to return them b/c although they fit in length, they are too tight and since they are snap closure, an not Velcro, I cannnot loosen them up. My child wears a 10 in most shoes and I ordered an 11 (27 on bottom of shoe.) Perfect length but overall uncomfortable. If your child has a slimmer foot...this is a super cute play shoe for the price! If only Velcro :( At agkance evetyone will think leather....but they are molded plastic. Easy clean up :)
