My baby is one year now, and very much on the cusp of walking! I prefer a ‘barefoot’ shoe and this meets all our needs. They’re flexible, water resistant, warm enough for the autumn/winter season (with the right socks), and most importantly they stay on! My little one used to pull off any socks etc but he leaves these on. I would highly recommend! Also, great customer service. I had mentioned i needed these for an upcoming trip and they made sure I received my order in time. Very kind! Thank you :)
