These sandals are very cute and comfortable for our 18 month old daughter. We bought them for her to wear around the swimming pool area (not to swim with though). The only problem is That When She runs, she trips Because The front of the shoe is quite flexible and hooks Onto the ground very easily. She does not really run around much at the pool, since we are holding her hands beacuse she can not jump in the water alone. But When We Were outside, away from the water and she what free to run around, that's When We Could See That She tripped quite Easily thesis in sandals. But for walking around, They serve Their purpose and are much cheaper than other sandals out there for little feet. I would buy them again. They are well-made, and the adjustable buckle is very good.
