The slippers are cute and my daughter loves how they light up, unfortunately they do not offer any support and it feels like my daughter's ankles are going to buckle when she does walk around with them. These are not flat to the ground and that is probably the issue with the slipper. Because of the foam, it feels like my daughter is trying to balance on the foam and it's not fun. Other than that, she loves the lights. I'll more than likely find another slipper. Just a bit irritated that Stride Rite would produce a slipper like this....
