I ordered the grey ones with what I thought would be tomato red accents.  When the shoes arrived, I was surprised that the leather accents and sole were fuchia.  The sole is rubber, waterproof yet bendy.  The toebox is nice and wide, but has sort of a point on one side so you can tell which foot it goes on.  My daughter likes them (1.5 yr old ) and helps us get them on her.  Now that it is warmer, I do notice that her socks can get sweaty, so the ventilation is rather poor.  As another reviewer mentioned, the toes of these get scuffed up in a hurry.  As she was learning to stand unsupported, I do think the wide textured soles provided some grip and stability to get her balanced.  Not sure if I would get this brand again....they are cute, but they'll look trashed in no time.  Might try the pedipeds, since some styles have the sole come up over the toe of the shoe.
