I bought these for my son when he was 13 months and just learning to walk. Winter was coming on and I wanted to keep him in soft-soled footwear. I ordered the toddler size and they fit easily over his Robeez. That was handy because he was wearing his Robeez around the house a lot to keep his socks on, and I could just slip the boots on over them without actually doing a change of shoes. These boots worked fine for keeping his feet warm in the car and stroller. However, now that he is 15 months and walking like a pro, these boots are a failure. Even if I put them on without shoes underneath, they are too wide and he trips on them (he wears wide width shoes, but these are actually oval-shaped). We just took him on a walk down the street, and one of them kept slipping down and turning around sideways so that he was tripping on it even more. I cinched them up as tight as they go and they still won't stay on reliably. And once you cinch them down, the little elastic string hangs loose and poses yet another tripping hazard. I always try to tuck the elastic string up into the strap at the top of the boot, but it works loose after a few minutes and flops on the ground. Finally, these boots are not waterproof at all. Maybe they could withstand very cold, dry snow, but with all the salty slush on the sidewalks my son came home with soaking wet socks. I'm going out to get him a pair of regular ol' boots tomorrow. These were a waste of money, I'm afraid.
Oh, one more thing: the "cobalt" color is actually very purplish, much more so than it looks in the pictures. I thought they looked girly and exchanged them for the black ones.
