For awhile, my daughter wouldn't let us put shoes on her feet...it was winter & she was just learning to walk...and had already learned how to pull off all her socks...so these were a great find!  I like the snug-ness of the sock part...and the design is cute too! They are not cheaply made & don't have any fraying issues; I have washed them in the washer.  We loved them so much that we bought the next size up too!
