I ordered these wanting some black shoes for my daughter (19 months old but wears a size 7.5 infant shoe). Well...they were not very flexible (hence called a "flex" shoe)and I was not crazy about them so I sent them back. They had an insert that was moving around inside. Also be careful because they were over $50 bucks and I thought they were $32 but several colors were available and apparently when I clicked black...the price changed and I was not aware of it until I received them. Sorry...too expensive too for kiddo shoes. I am a fan of striderite. com and think I'll stick to those!
