I was so excited to find these shoes for $15!! My 15 month old wanted to wear them directly out of the package and didn't take them off for the rest of the day.  I love that she can wear them without socks and that they protect her toes, unlike many sandals.  They look and feel very well made and have already stood up well to some rough outdoor play. I am a big fan of the Keen sandals that my preschool son wears and I think these are just as good, although she hasn't tested them in the water yet. The only downside is that I wish they could be tightened a little more. There is not a lot of variation in how tight you can get them. I will definitely be buying these again when she grows out of them.
