We bought these shoes for our upcoming trip to Europe.  Our daughter loves the color and it fits true to size.  She's already worn them a week (zoo, biking, beach, etc.) and did not need to break them in.  The only negative is that she is almost four and needs help putting the shoes on because of the Velcro strap that needs to be fed through a small loop at the top.  I'm sure she'll figure it out soon...
