One of the most important aspects of toddler boots is to be easy to get on. I'm happy to say that these boots are very easy to get on. My toddler is not even 2 years old and is able to step into these boots herself. The lack of a liner and the smooth interior make it easy to slip little feet into. A quick tug on the elastic lace creates a snug fit.

The exterior is made of high quality, water-resistant materials typical of what is found in adult boots. The sole has a thick, grippy tread.

Overall, this is an "adult"-quality boot shrunk to toddler size.

UPDATE Oct 2012: I would recommend ordering a size bigger which helps in putting them on. My child started with a size 6 last year. I have both a size 7 and 8 this year. The size 7 fits just about right while the size 8 boots have about 1" of extra toespace. She runs around happily in either size.

The durability of the boots is great except for the elastic lace which got frayed because she kept yanking on it for fun - can't blame the boot for this. Regardless, the boots are still in good shape to pass down to my younger child.
