The Born boots that I have had in the past alway stretches out and makes the shoe feel sloppy. and the product looks and fits amazingly. They are very cozy and comfortable however I wish the sole had been made from a more durable material. These are the most practical kids sandals I?ve bought. Nothing super heavy. I just purchased 7 bottles and they all stink. Bigger is not better, just more uncomfortable! The reason for the less than 5* rating is because of this blaintant design error. I never took them off. I want to state I have not used these but will update later after use .
