I appreciate a leather shoe at this reasonable price. The two velcro straps help make the shoe open big & wide so my toddlers chubby foot can slide in easily. I also love the European design!The big issue & draw back of this shoe is the stitching which holds the velco straps - it comes un-stitched with each use. This causes the foot to come right out b/c the strap has nothing to attach to. Multiple times, I had to glue gun the leather pieces back to the shoe. The rest of the shoe held up great, but it has one key quality defect.Even though they're not as flashy and exciting as a lot of other toddler shoes, these were well made and fit very well. Our son has minor ingrown toenail issues and so we have to buy shoes at least a full size larger than usual. Unfortunately this means most shoes don't fit him well but the double velcro stap on these kept his shoes on tight without digging into his skin and there was lots of room for his sensitive toes.Seem to be of good quality. The blue suede material fades fast, but can be expected with children's shoes. We primarily use them to be worn with school uniform.I always love buying Jumping Jacks. It is so high quality and this shoe does not disappoint. Buying again for sure.
