We bought these shoes because we went in April on vacation and until then had only closed shoes for our little girl. Since it would be warm so we needed something open and have then decided for this pair, as they also can attract until the summer at home, because they are not very open (as sandals). They are very well padded and comfortable to wear with or without socks. The neutral color to fit in everything. Our little they liked it very much and she likes to wear. Did they are getting tight in Gr 22 ordered since the winter shoes in 21. The size falls slightly from large (compared to other footwear brands which we previously had), so they may well carry the loose yet few months, they are not too large but.
