I purchased 2 pairs of these for my 2.5 yr old toddlers. They are great for slipping on to go outside to play for a few minutes - which we do a lot. The big plus of course is they can put them on themselves. The minus is they take them off a lot. I would not recommend them for children who are still beginning walkers- this type of shoe if too hard for them to walk in.  Older toddlers do great but will trip if running. The lining turns inside out every time they take the shoes off. Overall these are okay, but more novelty than a real shoe to wear to for a long walk. Definately would not send them to daycare with these shoes, they'll never make it home on their feet. Overall they are like any crocs, but lacking the back strap makes them less appealing to me. Quality is good.
