Love these shoes!!!!! Easy on, easy off, and absolutely adorable! We get tons of compliments from strangers when we bring the little one out with these shoes on. Baby has very little tolerance for anything uncomfortable, and these do not bother her at all. They are perfect for bare feet, but I would imagine you could wear socks with them as well. She is close to walking, and these shoes are nice and light weight and will be great for her first steps.
