My 2 year old has grown 4 sizes in the 15 months AND is very picky about his shoes. I always had great experiences with See Kai Run when my 8 yr old daughter was a toddler and so once we needed real shoes, I went with SKR again. This is our 4th pair of SKR sneakers and every pair have been terrific. They're cute, not bulky or heavy, easy to put on, the soles are really flexible, and they're durable. He wears his SKR all day, every day and is happy to wear them. I really couldn't ask for more!<br /><br />ETA: 2 Months in, these shoes are still in structurally good condition, but the canvas has faded (and we haven't washed them) quite a bit more than our previous SKR canvas sneakers. But doesn't matter anyway, because we have to go up another half size...
