Sturdy shoe, I am happy with my purchase. One star off only because it seems you have to break them in, they're a little stiff at first and Im not sure if it because these work work like the original saltwater where you get them wet to conform to your feet? I haven't tried that, but he seems to really like these a lot so I probably won't bother with it. Size is true to size toddler 7 fits perfectly they go with everything with out looking to dressed up or down. All around a good buy I will repurchase again once he grows out of these.
