First off, these sandals are *adorable*. The floral bowknot design had me sold instantly—they looked like tiny princess shoes straight out of a fairy tale. My baby girl wore them for a summer wedding, and they matched her dress perfectly. The soft, breathable material kept her feet comfy, and the Velcro straps made adjustments easy (though they did loosen a bit after some wiggling).
But here’s the catch: these aren’t for active walkers. The soles are *super thin*, almost like fabric slippers. My little one tried taking a few steps indoors, and her feet slid around awkwardly. They’re fine for photos or short outings where she’s carried, but I wouldn’t rely on them for playground trips. Also, sizing runs big—we ordered 6-12 months, and they swam on her 8-month-old feet.
Final verdict? Great for special occasions or cute Instagram pics, but if you need sturdy first-walker shoes, keep scrolling. The design gets an A+, but functionality is more of a B-.
