We have a 20 month old who is very particular about what he wears...including foot wear. We were looking for a pair of sandals for easy-on/easy-off for going out in the backyard etc. It was overkill to put socks and shoes on every time he wanted to run on the lawn! We had no luck with other sandals as he refused to wear them...these crocs however are a winner! They are easy to put on, stay on with the heel strap and look very sporty. He likes them and is able to run around easy in them. For the price they are great and we would recommend them for toddlers approaching the "terrible two's."
