These shoes were an impulse buy but I do not regret it. They have been helpful in pulling together my kid's everyday outfits and has definitely helped with the school dress up days! My son is very particular about his shoes and how they fit and he had no issues with the comfort of these. He's a 1.5 but the size we got was a 2 which was slightly bigger but with thick socks, they fit just fine right now and will allow him time to grow into them so they can stick around for a while.
