We are big fans of this brand in my house, and my kids usually wear them until they don't fit (i.e. they aren't falling apart before they get outgrown, which is first in my list of requirements of to make quality purchases with the goal of limiting quantity). The first time I put these on my 2 year old, the pull tab on the back of the shoe broke off. What is the point of a pull tab to help put on the shoes if it can't take a little tug?? I knew they would be getting returned, but I wasn't sure if I should order a replacement or not. I decided to have him test wear them around the house, and he kept sitting down to take the shoe off, saying &#34;owie shoe.&#34; He is not particularly picky, so there must have been something inside the shoe rubbing his foot (I couldn't locate any irritant). But his reaction helped me decide to return these broken shoes and try a different slip on instead of a replacement.
