I got these shoes for my 4.5 year old and she loves them. bright purple makes them girly, but they are durable and great for hiking. One thing to note with these is that the toddler sizes have a velcro strap across the top and the lower portion in threaded elastic, so there is no shoe tying...which we love. the pictures and descriptions on Amazon do not show or tell about this. However it is one of the better features of this shoe as my daughter cannot tie shoes yet.
Overall, we love these shoes and highly recommend them. I will be ordering them in a different color for my son. Also we paid about half the price of REI at Amazon for the same shoe!
