These shoes are cute and comfy for the prewalker.  It gives the flexibility of a sock but offers better protection and keep the socks on.  I wasn't so happy however when two weeks after my son started wearing them the stitching started coming out.  I have purchased Robeez brand crib shoes in the past and haven't had this issue.  I did notice though that the other Robeez I bought were made in Canada and these were made in China so that may be the answer.  The leather of those made in Canada was a little thicker and sturdier and the shape and fit a little better too.  All in all, I do like this product since it does the job but I do feel that they compromised on quality when they started producing this product in china.
