I was disappointed in the quality of these boots after seeing them in person, so I returned them.  The materials and workmanship remind me of what I would find in my neighborhood big box discounter, which is not necessarily terrible for the price, but I wanted something more.<br />The material is a sort of suede so toe scuffs or any rainy/muddy accidents likely would spell the end of its cute appearance.<br />The size is roughly consistent with other shoes the same size, perhaps a little bigger.<br />I still like the styling with the ruffle down the side as it appears dressier than most and the sole is flexible (easier for little people to be active), but I am afraid that they wouldn't last but a couple of wearings so I chose to get something else.
