We love these little boots! We had such a hard time finding boots to fit our 2.5 year old, he has chubby little ankles that most zip up boots or slip-ons wouldn't accommodate. These slip on and off with ease, but aren't loose, they have terrific traction and are great for lightly snowy days, or wet and icy roads. My little boy thinks they look like Ghostbuster boots and wants to wear them everyday! I only gave them 3 stars though because, as a mom, I have some issues with the boots: the inside of the boot is made of some weird rubber and it's virtually impossible to get a child's foot in there successfully if they are wearing socks, which in the winter, when you ideally want to wear boots, is just not practical. Also there's not alot of insulation so these would not be the kind of boots you send your kid out in for hours on in in the snow.
