Soft, warm and very functional.  My 8 month old granddaughter is on the bigger side so I got her the 12-18 month size and I am glad I did. (I measured her feet with a ruler and they measure 4 inches) They fit great and are easy to put on and she does not mind them on her feet.  My house is on the cold side so I feel better knowing that her feet are toasty. They are good footwear for our New York winters because we needed something warm for taking her places, going from house to car to stores, etc.  I don't think I would use them for spending ling periods of time outdoors .
