These are excellent leather sandals and we have previously bought them for our almost 4yr old grandson.They wear well and are still in good enough condition to pass down to a younger sibling.The only problem with this latest pair is that the lining leather is a pure bright white, which gives the impression that he is wearing white socks. The photo on the website shows the lining as a light brown, which is what we are used to & is much more practical for children's rough & tumble play. We would have returned them, but our grandson desperately needed new shoes.He is happy with them, & luckily has no fashion sense.They fit well (size 29) & I would normally highly recommend them, but this one issue caused disappointment.
