Review on Merrell Boys Steps Sneaker Toddler Girls' Shoes: Perfect Footwear for Active Kids by Jon Thawngzauk

These shoes are the best! My daughter has had them for about 9 months and wears them almost every day as they are her favorite. I agree with other reviews that they are great. These shoes are so light and flexible they really move with your foot. Many toddler shoes have thick, hard soles that make walking difficult. She doesn't stumble in these shoes like she does in some of the more 'traditional' shoes. They are also very durable. She was rude with them, even threw one in the toilet so I had to wash it! I washed both of them and then conditioned them with mink oil and they were like new! I also like that I can get them far. I recently ordered nude step sandals for her and they are great too. They have the exact same sole as this shoe. Will definitely be buying them again in the next size up when they outgrow their current pair! I bought her 5W, I would say it's comparable to 6-6.5 other brands.
