I will not allow my children to wear cheap shoes, and all little kids want are shoes with cartoons on them! These shoes keep us both happy! My son is 4 and we have ordered the Sesame Street style of this shoe before, so we tried this one too, and he loves it! These shoes are more sueded than the others, so I won't allow him to wear them on rainy days, but overall the shoes are awesome and well put together ! We will be ordering more of this style!
