I love these, they offer good support and protection and keep my sweaty baby breezy. LOL But there are two problems. You are very tough. I can't bend them without feeling like they might start spitting. I think that makes them a little stiffer? Also, we now have about 5 pairs of shoes in the same size for our 17 month old daughter. They all seem pretty close except for this one. They are a bit big. The problem is that for the most part they are designed to be worn barefoot. Shoes are too big and wearing them without socks will compress the lacing system/tongue and cause pain. I would say if you could, order two from Amazon Wardrobe. One size smaller and one size normal for your little one. *Thumbs up*
