These seem to be pretty good cleats. I bought them in a 9C, and was so thankful to find shoes in that size! (If you've looked for cleats for little feet, you know what I mean!) My almost 4-year-old thinks these are the coolest looking shoes he's ever seen. It was hard for me to convince him to take them off after they arrived! They seem to be relatively soft and well-made. We only just received them, so I will update this review if I see any indication to the contrary.My little one wears a pretty solid 9, yet these offer enough room between his big toe and the end for my thumb from joint to tip. Like I said, I was just glad to find tiny cleats. We are keeping them, and he is very happy with their look and feel. Just know they are a little larger than average.
