Since my little one is now in kindergarten and really more in a slipper infected than in street shoes, I have decided for this very expensive house shoe and hope this will also hold correspondingly long. The size falls slightly smaller than normal, so returned the size again. Pay now 2 sizes larger, and I hope that does not fall from the foot and can be worn as well as at least 1 year (if the slipper really holds, as I believe in the very high price!)
