I wanted to like these shoes as it has been very hard to find good size 4 shoes for my 14 months old without spending too much. Unfortunately, both shoes started ripping at the toe after a few days of use at daycare. My baby is a strong walker but it's not like he was walking on a rough ground. I think they'll probably work fine for indoor use or for a baby who is not quite walking yet. Otherwise, the design is definitely cute.
