The leather is genuinely soft and the criss-cross elastic makes them so easy to slip on a squirmy baby. They stay put through crawling and kicking, which I didn't expect from a shoe with no real closure.

My daughter has chubby feet and these actually stay on without pinching. The leather is buttery soft from day one, no breaking in needed. She wore them for her first birthday photos and they didn't slip off once.

The elastic criss-cross straps make these so easy to slip on my daughter's wiggly feet, and they actually stay put. The leather is soft right out of the box, no breaking in needed.
