My little one always gets compliments when wearing these shoes. People are impressed by how cute they are and ask where I got them. Sometimes my kiddo will be walking while staring down to watch the shoes. They go everywhere: to the store, on a walk, to the splash pad, to the pool, and anywhere else we go. The only time I would not recommend them is on very puddle-filled or downpour walks, or once it gets cold or snowy.My little one has worn them extensively and so there is some visible wear in the photo. The paint rubbed off on some spots and the bottoms are starting to smooth out, but overall I think they have held up remarkably well given how hard they have been used. They are very easy to get on and off and my 2 year old is always excited to put on the “purple shoes.” I may very well buy these same ones again in a size or two up next spring.
