These would probably not wear well on a child who walks everywhere he/she goes (read: older child who is not carried) but for my now 13 month old these boots are awesome! They are soft soled, warm, waterproof and easy to put on. I found the sizing for these boots as with all of our other Robeez shoes to be perfect. My son has a very average foot, not to long, short, wide or skinny. I believe these would fit well on a child with a wider than normal foot too. My son has been walking since 10 months and these are great for him to play outside in the snow/cold. The front flap velcros to the ankle at the top for a custom fit. The ankle elastic is gentle yet keeps the boots on well. The color online is very accurate. The inner material is a soft fleece-like fabric that does not pill or fuzz. The bottom is a "grippy" rubber that helps keep from slipping. I love that my "early-walker" can still "feel" the ground through the flexible sole of these shoes, as it is important for his foot development and walking skills - according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. I highly recommend these shoes for any baby younger than one who is old enough to walk everywhere on their own. An older full-time walker in my opinion would need shoes with a thick rubber sole, like one on an adult shoe. My son wears these out to play and out to run errands, but we still usually carry/stroll him while shopping or walking far.
