I bought these on a nice pre-season sale.  They match the product description quite well- attractive, flexible sole, seem to be warm (and they came with an extra set of laces in a pinkish-purple+brown, cute for girls!).  My 2 year old was very excited to try them on when they came in the mail.  Unfortunately, they are not going to work.  My main complaint is how HEAVY they are.  This may not be a problem for some kids, but for those who don't like wearing shoes in the first place the weight and clunkiness will probably be a dealbreaker.  My daughter (who is normally quite sure-footed) seemed very awkward and tripped more than once in the short time she wore them in the house-- I would hate to see what would happen outside in snow and ice.  Also, I ordered a full size up thinking they could last through the winter.  While they look clownishly large on her feet, she has less than 1/4" of room in the toe box to grow.  These boots are cute and look functional, but for the money I would rather find something that she feels comfortable in.  Last winter, she practically lived in a pair of sheepskin boots from soft star shoes. They were expensive but perfect (warm, extremely flexible sole, very lightweight, water resistant). I had hoped to find somethething less costly this year, but that might not be possible.  These will unfortunately have to be returned (never returned something from Amazon before; hopefully it goes well!)

3 stars for quality construction, warmth, and good sale price... These would probably be great for older kids who don't mind the weight/bulk of snowboots.
