text: My 15-month-old son wears these all the time. I purchased them because he was growing out of his tennis shoes purchased from Target (that will give you an idea of my usual price range for baby shoes) and because these were on a really great sale. The look and quality are terrific. They look like they have a little bit of leather and velour, so I was thinking that I would never be able to wash them. About a week after we got them, a kid at my son's daycare threw up all over them, and then about a week after that he threw up all over them. So, I ended up washing them twice. And they look fine. The wear on these shoes is minimal, even though my son wears them constantly (like every day for the past month). I would buy these again, and actually I did--in the next size up. I would say the sizing runs about a half size small.
