This product is really great -- my brother and I wore them when we were kids. They are still well-made, classically cute, and easy to put on and take off a just-learning-to-walk toddler. The only reason it's not a 5-star item is the sturdy rubber sole is a bit heavy, and our 14 month-old twins first walked around like they had blocks of cement on their feet. But that said, these are great for around the house and outdoors, flexible in the right places and a total bargain. I expect we'll get great wear out of them until they are just too small, and then we'll buy the next size up!
