I bought these for our 10 mo old that is learning to walk.  He has rather round, plump feet so the elastic is a little tight where his foot meets his ankle on the top.  They rub the skin a little so I just need to monitor how long he wears them so it doesn't become raw.  I'm hoping that with time the leather will soften or his feet will flatten out more.

Otherwise, these are super cute and soft to the touch.
