I just got this for my son. The suede is very soft so takes no time to break them. He's only three and it's his first
slippers so it's taking him a while to get used to the shoes. However, he likes the fact that he has the same shoes with the rest of the family. I know that the comfort of
Birkenstock is second to none so he will grow to love the shoes.
Only thing is although they are narrow, there's plenty of room. Also, he normally wears size 9 shoes including his
sandals, but this is big. I
guess maybe he'll get to wear them next summer also.
