These shoes are cute!  My daughter is 6 months old and they are too big for her now, but you can't tell when they are on.  These shoes are pre-walkers and not going to stand for a lot of heavy use so I would not advise them for a baby who is far into the crawling or walking stages.  They also do not have elastic laces, they have regular shoe laces.  I didn't see that as a negative at all as my baby has a high instep and tying a couple of little shoes takes a whole two seconds versus the struggle you face with getting a little fat foot into an elastic shoe.
