These are very cute, very soft, supple leather, flexible sole shoes that are good for first walkers.  I like that they're sort of sandals but they don't have the stiff soles that most sandals do.  My only complaint is that they really get dirty quickly (the downside of how soft they are).  My daughter still crawls, climbs, and falls a lot so they're all scuffed up.  Wish I knew how to clean them up better and/or restore them to make them last longer, especially for how expensive they were.
