First of all, the shoes are very nice looking and are super cute (prettier than the product view on the amazon-the color in the amazon are somewhat not exact) - the red color would really look nice and smooth in toddlers for sure. I had already bought the adidas Cf fluid 2 shoes and the gymboree sneakers before for my toddler 1.5 yrs old boy and were very pleased with them.Pros:1.This shoe has a sole that has a kind of memory foam materiel that yields pressure relief to the foot (at the ankle point)- very important for toddlers who are very active and have just learnt to walk/ in the process of learning to walk.2. Apart from the soothing red color, the white stitches of the seams on the red color are very nice and gives a bright contrast and look stylish.3. The curves of the shoes are perfect and the width is very standard (heel counter, toe box are of perfect contours- feel like they would make the baby feel comfortable wearing the whole day)4. The double zippers with the Velcros look durable (though time will really tell how long they hold on)5. Apart from the original sole (that has nice grippers), they have filled up the portion with a dark greyish gripping material between outsole & midsole to help in weight balancing profile. That is definitely a nice catch for this product, especially aimed for beginners/ toddlers.CONS:Amazon has very limited sizes in this color- I bought a 5.5M which appeared to be larger, so wanted a 4.5M- ,looks like amazon doesn't have stock of those.Would definitely recommend this product.
