All in all, I?d buy again, but not before looking for a more attractive unit. She is 4 and has no problem taking them on and off. Did run a little on the small side. The textured instep makes standing comfortable, plus you can easily slip your foot out for a little relief or a little air, then back into a comfortable shoe. Pulling them out halfway fits perfectly. Update: just ordered another color! I remember trying these pods when they first came out and remember feeling disappointed. Using on lower value john boat wouldnt use them on a high dollar boat. Was told what to order and they still came in too small. I find the weight, comfort, accurate sizing (order your size if wearing barefoot) and for the most part the quality is comparable.
