These shoes worked out great.  I bought a pair for my 2 1/2 year old as well as a pair for my newly walking 1 year old.  They have plenty of traction and I felt comfortable with my kids walking even on damp surfaces along a pool.  Used them more at the beach where they protected the kids feet from the hot sand but they seemed very comfortable for my children.

They did seem to run a little bit small.  My son is size 9 toddler and wears 9 1/2 stride rite shoes and we had to return the size 9s as they were very tight.  The size 10s worked great though and the seller handled the return with no problems.  I will definitely buy again next year if we head back to the beach.
