My daughter loves these sandals. It is very secure since it is not the velcro type but the buckle type. This can also be a reason why yo would hate it because it is difficult to put on on a restless toddler.

The only complain I have with these sandals are that they are slippery. They provide no traction at all when on the cement or smooth surface. So when worn in the mall, it is slippery. Solve that problem and they have 5 stars!
