I love these shoes.  The leather is very soft, it's very easy to put on by a 2 year old, and very light.  I bought one in 8, and they were a little too big for my son (he is a 7.5 Wide).  So I kept the 8 and bought the 7.  The 7 fits very well on him.  Just FYI - my son has chunky feet with high arch so it's a bit hard to find shoes that fit him perfectly.  We have been lucky with this particular See Kai Run.  My only complaint is that the shoes do not protect his big toe.  The opening on the front is big enough for his big toes to poke out.  I have noticed that his big toenails get chipped quite a bit.  I am guessing it is due to the fact that these shoes do not offer protection on the toes (unlike other brands like Keen).  I've been trying to think of ways to &#34;cover&#34; that hole, from ductaping it (which will probably make it look really ghetto), or to sewing a strip of leather to the shoes.  If any of the readers have any ideas, I'm open!  However, he has no complaints.  If I ask him to pick which shoes he wants to wear, he would pick these over and over again.  And these are perfect for summer, very airy and light.
