I loved these shoes! They were the first shoes I purchased for my daughter and she wore them until they had holes. They were perfect as first walking shoes, flexible and light. The fit was great, she has really small feet and the size 4 (at 1 yr old) was perfect and left a bit of room to grow. The sole is cloth though so I don't recommend them for winter or wet areas. They are even cuter in person and we always received a ton of compliments!
