These shoes were an instant hit with my grandson.  The way they light up is just delightful and entertaining to him.  I bought them because of the support of the shoe.  Too many shoes today are cutesy and some are dangerous to exposed foot parts. They are not made to run and jump and slide, flip and whatever else a toddler likes to do, on playgrounds or parking lots and even grassy parks.  Just as you like a good fitting, supportive, shoe and no blisters, so do the feet of a toddler.
