These shoes are great.  I had bought my bubs a pair when he was tiny and was impressed with the materials and workmanship - but he's now starting to walk, and after shopping and seeing some really shoddy-made baby shoes, I decided to just order these from Amazon.  They are gorgeous, the leather is soft and flexible, the sole is nice and substantial and supportive, and the insole is very cushy.  The laces are even really nice material, very soft and somewhat thin so they are very easy to tie and stay tied.  I just love these.
