We got 2 pairs of these shoes while they were a lightening deal. I figured with the discount it was a good risk. They are awesome!
Second day my 3 year old son was wearing them we were at Costco and he was riding on the end of the cart. We were passing the cell phone area (where those guys are just standing around doing nothing) and he slipped down and the cart hit his foot. I stopped and waited for his response, but before I could say anything the guys said "Ohhhh, ouch. You okay buddy?" and another guy said, "thats why I don't let my kids wear sandals". So I looked over and my son was totally fine, climbing back up. So I pointed out the awesome bumper protection and we were on our way.
I have to say that one incident was priceless! The shoes do exactly what they are designed to do...protect the little toes! I wish they made them in bigger sizes for me and my older girls. We are always slamming our toes into stuff.
The shoes do run a bit big. Crocs are supposed to have a lot more movement and room than normal shoes so its ok and not awkward. Just be advised they do run a bit big.
