These are really cute little sneakers, easy to put on by herself (3.5 years old), sturdy, and comfortable. Very soft inside; Daughter can wear them without socks on warmer days. She actually wears a 23.5/24 right now, but I ordered a 25 because pediped, those brilliant shoe designers, send you an extra insole to place use (yes, you double-up) which makes the shoe a half-size smaller. As she grows, I can remove it; just be sure to remove the insoles prior to machine washing (yes!!!!) the sneaks, or the insoles might not survive; These I toss in a lingerie bag or hand wash. Even with the insole, the shoe is a little big, but again, those brilliant designers created a Velcro closure with some extra room to pull the shoe tight. I'm happy, she's happy. I will always buy my kids pediped, and when shoe shopping, look for their styles first. I compare the quality, price and styles to Primigi and Naturino, and the quality to Stride Rite. But none of those have the extra insole to grow with my daughter and to last as long as pediped. My daughter has a twin brother, and we primarily buy pediped for him as well.
