Bought these shoes for my 2 year old this past Christmas, 2012.  My wife and I liked the color combination and style, and the velco lacing system offered good support to keep them on my son's feet.  They fit my son true to size, he loved them (as much as a 2 year old can) and they have endured the abuse that only a child can put shoes through.  I highly recommend these shoes to any parent looking for toddler sneakers.
