I have been looking for shoes that would stay on my 8 month old's chubby feet. It's freezing here so I wanted something warm too. These fit the bill perfectly. I adore the plaid and the fur inside is so soft. The *only* reason I am not giving them 5 starts is because after having them just 4 days the plaid fabric is starting to pill which is annoying. They are very functional other than that and he looks adorable.
