My 2 year old LOVES sandals and it is hard to even attempt to put socks on, so I was thrilled when the weather started warming up, but his stride rite sandals from last year were too small.  I had always heard about this brand, but I thought it would be too expensive, but these were actually cheaper than the stride rite sandals that I was looking for.  The only complaint, is that they look to cause a red mark right around the front of his ankle, but maybe that is because they are still a little too big?  Anyways, my son isn't complaining that it hurts so I think he likes them.  Oh, and I don't think you can wash them, so if he gets them muddy or stinky I might have to get another new pair.
