Long we were looking for good "outside shoes" for our 2 1/2 year old son and with these Kamik we found them. Very handy solution is to tighten the shoe on a drawstring, so you get your feet comfortable in the shoes and pulls them then "close". One should already take 1-2 size larger, because the child usually do not increase with thin socks in your shoes, but already tights, socks and sweatpants or something else has yet to.
