My 16 month-old loves her shoes and likes to practice putting them on and taking them off.
Most importantly, this brand is rated high for being well-made for children's changing feet. These shoes are soft and comfy. I like the fact that they have a closed toe which I think is safer for babies.
Another plus was that these shoes were on sale. I refuse to pay much over $25 for a pair of baby shoes. With a little searching I found these.
My only disappointment is that they are made in China and not here in the U.S.
