These shoes are ALMOST the perfect shoes.  The only problem I have with them is that the elastic which keeps them on my baby's feet is too tight and it leaves red, raw spots if you leave them on for several hours. So instead of a great everyday shoe, we can only use these for a couple hours at time at most.  My daughter is 10 months old and weighs 22 pounds with medium ankles definitely not chubby like many baby feet typically are.  I would have thought that the elastic would be looser to prevent any such issues - it could have been relaxed a good bit while still staying on her feet!  I would have returned them except that she chewed on them immediately when I tried them on her.

But on the plus side,  I love the soft leather and the suede bottoms of this shoes. The suede bottoms really help her to stand and walk without being too structured and stiff  The suede gives her just enough traction to get around on hardwood floors without sliding.  It's too bad the elastic isn't more roomy!
