My almost 2 year old loves these shoes. He really likes the lights on these shoes which are quite bright. I like how easy these are to put on him especially when he's squirming around. The velcro flap seems like it will hold up better than the ones you see at the stores that close between your foot and ankle with Cars and such on them (I've always had a problem with those not sticking after awhile.) The only downside to these is that they're also easy for him to take them off. But that's not too big a deal since you can put them on again quickly. It's also hard to find Sesame Street shoes around where I live so these were a great find.
