I really wanted to have a suitable for the winter warm shoes for our baby who does not constantly slip off the foot or leg when the baby moves. At first we had a couple of sheepskin shoes that are laced in the ankle and also go only slightly above the ankle. These are last sliding down, especially when using a sling or baby carrier. These shoes from Sterntaler meet but exactly its purpose. Are super warm, can be very good tighten (not too far and not too tight, and our baby has fairly thick legs) and above all they do not slip a bit. As they are resistant to water, but I can not judge, but they give me the impression that most splash does not come up to the feet. When it rains, you probably still need further protection. In size 17/18 to a successful match and our 5 month old baby without being too large or not to have a good hold on the foot. Since they have no right sole, they are in my opinion but not for kids who want to stand around or -Laufen already out.
