Bought these for my 2 year old grandson. He has had a pair since he's been walking. This is his third pair. We call them his holey shoes. He puts them on and takes them off by himself proudly. They are great for playing outside, quick errands, and fishing (his favorite). Mimi makes sure he has new ones when old ones are outgrown. We throw them in the washing machine when they need it.
My little boy has chubby feet (on top, not just wide) so it's difficult to find shoes that fit, but crocs work every time. And he loves the alligator on the side and that they are his favorite color, green!
