I love these shoes for my 4 year old. They look so much nicer than a plain old Croc style. I do think because we are inbetween sizes the size is a bit loose on him especially to the back heel where his foot can slip out, but he still wears them without problem socks or no socks and he likes them. I have taken note from other customers and the label on the product to NOT leave them outside in the sun as they will shrink. I did find them kicked off a few times in the yard when my child was in the sandbox etc and hours later in the sun they still were fine but i have read others that were not as lucky. Kids will be kids and kick there shoes off. hopefully mom knows and can find them before they have a chance to shrink. Otherwise these are no stink, washable and the choice of many colors is wonderful.
