My 3 1/2 year old wanted some "pretty" shoes, and I wanted some black patent shoes that were soft and sturdy.  She wouldn't go for plain black patent, so I searched until I found these on Amazon.  We both love them because of the satin bow lacing around the top.  So cute and different from any other shoe out there!  Besides looks, the Pediped brand is great all around.

Sizing ran true to size.  My only concern is that if my daughter steps in a big mud puddle, the satin bows might get mucked up.  I am trying my best to avoid rainy weather, and if they get muddy, hopefully it will be around the sole and not as high up as the satin bow.  Otherwise, highly recommend!
