"My daughter loves these shoes. We have to hid them on most days because it still isn't always warm enough to wear them. We were looking for a sturdy sandal that would also be okay to get wet this summer and these are perfect. Not to mention that everytime we do take them out for her she jumps up and down and says 'Pretty'! It's a lot easier to get shoes (and keep shoes) on a toddler that is excited to be wearing them."
