I gave these to my husband as a gift. The quality is fantastic, they fit true to size, and of course as always Zappos had it at my doorstep in record time.

The Kyoto slip-ons have an interesting style, but go with jeans, khakis, and other casual pants very well. My initial wearing of the shoes was quite uncomfortable; rubbing and creasing at all the wrong spots. I tried to wear them two days in a row when I first got them, but I simply could not bring myself to wear them the second day. I hsve worn them maybe five or six times now, however, and they are getting better. The break-in period does seem longer than other, competitively priced brands such as Born, Ecco, and Clarks.If you're looking for something a little different and rugged, I think this is a great shoe. Just be prepared to slowly break them in.

Consistent quality and style from Pediped - These are great shoes. Never any worry about needing to be "broken in". They are great for learning or new walkers b/c they are soft soled so it's like going barefoot. Pedipeds may be expensive but they wear really well and are very stylish which you can't always say about baby shoes.

Pediped Katelyn - We get lots of compliments on how cute this shoe is. It does stay on her feet all day. The shoe does run large, though.

Pediped Katelyn - Very nice soft shoes. Sometimes I use it on my baby even without socks! Zappos have the best service as always. Thanks Zappos!

Adorable summer shoe - I love these - they are too sweet. They do run large, though. There is a huge difference between the size 12-18 and the 18-24. I tried these on my 14 month old daughter in a department store, and the 12-18 just fit. So I purchased the 18-24 from Zappos, and they are really way too big. I will keep them b/c they're really adorable. But...by the time they truly fit her the summer may have come and gone!

Perfect Pre-Walker - WOW-these are great! The velcro really works! They are cuter on a little person than in the picture. They are soft and they do not fall off little feet-and they are great for chewing! I think they run large because the 0-6 month size fits my 7 month old grand-daughter. Her mom LOVES them. I also found them cheaper on another site and Zappos honored their 110% price guarantee.

Cute Shoes - I bought this shoe for my 9 month old and I love it. It's the first shoe that she won't pull off her feet. It's a good shoe for a beginning walker as they are not heavy.

So cute!!! I bought these for my daughter's first shoes... They are just so cute in person. Better than online. They do seem to run on the big side. My daughter has narrow feet. These seem a little wide for her. She is 8 months old. I ordered the small size - for 6-12 month olds. They do have velcro to fasten them though. That helps. She's not anywhere near walking yet. So, with a pair of socks they will look great. I know she will grow into them. Very happy!

Great Learning Shoe - This shoe was great for my 13 month old who is still learning to walk. It doesn't impede her motion in any way and she is still able to have control of her toes. One of my favorite things about it is that it is so easy to clean. Because she's still doing a ton of crawling the toes get very dirty quickly. But the dirt and smudges just wipe right off!

Perfect in every way! We have had a hard time finding a shoe to fit my granddaughter's "chunky" foot, plus stay on while trying to walk. This shoe did the trick! Easy to get on, fantastic look, superior quality, great price!!! Very pleased with this brand of shoe. This shoe should be tried by all mothers with a little one starting to walk! Heck, even if they aren't walking.
