I love the look of these toddler shoes. I ordered them a bit bigger because it's a size 12 1/2 but they slip a little with socks. So we made him wear regular or athletic socks under his socks. The shoes look great on his small feet and with his vest and pants. I failed to mention that the shoes are genuine leather and have a nice sheen but are not overly shiny or shiny. These are really nice shoes for boys.
