I bought these for my 14 month old son and he wears them around the house. They are super soft and cozy, and you can tell that they're comfy because he always does a funny little dance with a smile when he first puts them on. I haven't tried to wash them yet, but I hate that the bottoms get soiled quickly. I'm not sure what I'll do about this bc spot cleaning isn't doing a thing, but the directions say to "Spot Clean Only". A friend of mine accidentally threw the shoes in the wash. They were stiff at first, but with daily wear became soft and flexible again. I haven't tried this yet, but I may just have to. I would def buy these again!
