We got these for our 2 year old and live an active life in Alaska. The best part of these boots is the top toggle to keep snow/slush, etc out of the boots. They are easy for her to get on by herself, and easy for us to tighten the boots in a hurry. They also keep her feet nice and warm outside in the cold and snow. We ordered a size 7 but quickly decided we should have gone a size up just because they fit a little more snug than we had hoped. We thought we were ordering one size up, but these fit just a little better than her current size 6 boots (lands end). We are happy enough with them though that we decided to keep them and see how long she'll keep fitting into them. The liner is nice and thick and does come out if you want it to, but so far it doesn't come out when she takes the boots off herself. Good buy! Nice winter boot for active kids who want to get int the snow!
