My daughter needed some shoes she could slip into if we were heading out for a walk or to run errands.  We live in Chicago, so the temperature and wind can be brutal.  On days that do not warrant boots, these were great.  I do not agree with a previous reviewer that said these were like slippers.  Our daughter  (6yr) has trekked across the city in these shoes with warm and comfy feet.  I have never been disappointed by Teva...stylish, durable shoes my daughter has enjoyed wearing.
