Having a son and a daughter I have bought tons of Robeez soft soles, and they are great shoes. My daughter's ankles are a little pudgier than my sons were and so the elastic on her regular soft soles leaves little crinkly marks on her ankles. Since the elastic on these reversible ones is wider and flat, no marks! And you can't beat the little angel/devil pattern, we wear them with one angel and one devil showing at all times.
