My granddaughter absolutely LOVES these shoes.. They are so incredibly comfortable. I have her wear socks with them as the elastic around the ankles tends to rub her ankles but with socks she can wear them all day. They were cute with dresses as well as shorts. Very versatile comfy shoe. Highly recommend.. They do run large. I bought them for my 1 year old granddaughter (12-18 month) and they fit my 2 yr old granddaughter so she inherited them instead.
