We bought my son leather soled loafers until he was active enough to wear holes in them in just 2 weeks (about 3 years). Lightweight shoes with a wide toe box and a fully flexible sole are very important for infant/child foot development and adult foot health. Not only are flexible soles better for them, they are also far more comfortable and result in far fewer trips and falls as they learn to walk and walk. These water shoes aren't as wide as ideal, but they're not too narrow so they're still good. Anyway, these water shoes are great for casual/casual shoes (my son wears them with socks). . They're breathable so my son doesn't get too hot, they're AF flexible, and the rubber even protrudes at the front to protect his toes. I can also spritz them with water if they get dirty at the park (hello goosebumps) and they dry quickly. In addition, they have a very good grip, so my son does not slip even with questionable maneuvers on linoleum, and on playgrounds they easily overcome obstacles. Although the soles are very thin they are strong enough to last until my son outgrows the shoe and will still be in pretty good condition. He also LOVES all the fun colors. We have the 4th couple in almost 2 years (he is just over 4.5 years old).
