Took baby a few tries to trust that she could walk in them, but then she got the hang of it. Nicely fit over shoes and even just socks. Cozy warm for a quick trip into the snow and durable enough for a walk. I was planning on using them past the 1st year, but am not sure how they will hold up for a toddler. If you have a crawler or new walker who is not a fan of shoes- I would definitely buy these.
