Our kiddo loves these! I have a petite nearly 3 year old. I purchased size 10. I wanted them to be big so she could grow into them. She actually wears these shoes! Before she would take her shoes off any chance she could. I double knot these and then tie them in a bow and they stay tied that way. They are narrow like some people have said so I’m glad I sized up. I’m not to excited for the rain to come I don’t think you would want them to get wet. Other wise I highly recommend these shoes. They are cute, seemingly comfortable and very well made. Honestly they are a life saver! I couldn’t keep shoes on my kid before we found these. She loves them so much she wants to wear them in the house. I love watching her run in them she is happy and comfortable and that makes me a happy momma. :)
