Adorable and nice quality! The little velcro band works great to keep these on my daughter's skinny little feet. They are really easy to get on and off, unlike lots of other toddler shoes...but SHE can't pull them off because of the velcro, which is a huge plus. The bottom is made of a very thin rubber sole - soft enough to be very flexible and perfect for a learning walker, but sturdy enough to protect her little feet from rocks and things. Great quality - will purchase others like them again!
