If your child has wide feet at all, don't buy these.  My son has long, regular width feet and these were snug across the bridge of his foot...he cannot get them on himself, and it's a struggle for me too! They are warm and fuzzy with rubber (not like a sneaker) on the bottom, enough where your child should be fine walking/running around on slick tile....but way tight width wise.  Wish someone had written that in a review, I would have passed these one's up.  Hopefully this will help someone else, cuz at $17 when I bought them, I would think they would be a 5 star item.  Next time I'll just look at Payless lol
