Just received my first grandsons first pair of moccasins. They are precious and at 14 months he seems to enjoy them. He can walk quite well with them compared to regular foot wear.
 Another reviewer had suggested that you order a size smaller than what they are wearing currently. And that advice was spot on. He is wearing a regualr size six and we ordered a size 5, they are almost perfect. He even has some room to grow into them. The are well made of pretty thick yet supple leather.
 The only thing I am not sure about is the velcro for the closure, seems a bit small to me but we just got them today,so I will have to report back on that. We look forward to letting him run in them tomorrow.
 All I can say for parents or grandparents, they are worth what you pay for them. The kids enjoy them alot but I think we adults get a bigger kick out of them. We still have our younger sons first pair of Minnetonka moccassins to give to his children. And we intend to save this grandchilds to hand down also.
 I would suggest for toddlers get front closing ones for they are easier to get on them. When they get older the ones with the closure on the back work well and they like that thay look like "real" old time moccasins.
