Sparkling Toddler Boys' Mini Melissa Sandal Shoes - Glittery Sandals for Style and Comfort Review

These are very cute and would make the perfect shoes for the beach/pool. Unlike other Mini Melissa shoes, they don't have a fruity smell but a very strong chemical plastic smell. And as expected they run small but we have had many pairs of Mini Melissa so we always run larger but if this is your first order order the next size up as they are almost a full size smaller.

As mentioned in other reviews, shoes are quite heavy. Absolutely adorable and although they were heavy my daughter loved them in the short time she tried them on. The main complaint is that I ordered a toddler 8 for the summer as my daughter is currently wearing an American toddler 7 and the shoes were too small. Her heel was dangling behind her back and I couldn't insert her foot any further. We can't wear them.

So I'm new to Mini Melissa so I don't know if this is normal. But A. These shoes are SO HEAVY! My almost 6 year old couldn't even walk in it. And B. You smell like toxic chemicals. That was the main reason I sent them back. I tried leaving them outside for a few days to air them but the smell never went away. They just smell like horrible chemicals. I'm so pissed. The style is so cute. But we just couldn't keep her.
