I bought these sandals for my 2 1/2 year old about 2 years ago and I absolutely love them! They are made with genuine leather inside and out for extreme durability. The design is beautiful and looks perfect with any type of clothing like dresses or shorts, they even look very chic and stylish in the fall with jeans and a cute sweater! I honestly wish they made these in my size! Ha ha :) i made the mistake of washing them too often and drying them in the hot sun which is a no-no for leather because it gets hard and stiff, with these the sole did crack a bit because of that but the upper leather remained perfectly soft and flexible. My daughter has really used them well and they are now worn but she still wears them, even with the cracked sole it's still soft and not hurting or chafing! I am now desperately trying to find them again but sadly her size 10.5 is not available :( I definitely recommend them to any little girl, they fit perfectly and are not too girly but not too grown up either. I definitely think these are the perfect sandals!
