New Balance Kids' KL574V1 Lightweight Running Sneakers - Comfortable Athletic Shoes for Boys & Girls - Perfect for School, Play & Daily Activities

We've had these shoes for awhile now. My daughter started walking at 10 months so we've had trouble finding shoes for her that were suitable for walking around outside the home. These are adorable!! She's now a size 4. They fit perfectly. However, we had to lace them up to very top hole to keep them from sliding off since they don't have a Velcro strap. I will say the my one and only complaint about these shoes is that the soles are very, very STIFF. I had to play with them for awhile bending the soles (almost breaking them in for her). Bottom line - these shoes are a good investment, just maybe not for a toddler who is new to walking. They are very well made, look just like adult New Balances, and seem comfortable. I would buy these shoes again as well as I would recommend them to anyone.
