When Leonardo grew up and traveled the world, he was inspired by the numbers used in different countries.

Nice sandals, but run a little big
Size: 12 Little Kid, Color: Pink Faux Leather, Size: 12 Little Kid, Color: Pink Faux Leather
I got these for my oldest daughter, I tend to order a little big so my kids can wear them a little longer. These are a little bigger than expected, however. Not a big deal for us since she has other shoes to wear at this point....BUT I don't think most people would be happy if they not be able to use the product immediately. At any rate, these appear to be very well made. The cushion resembles adult style padding as it's pretty firm. The velcro strap works well and is a good choice for kids. Lastly, these were $25 at the time of testing which is on the high side for kids sandals. These are made of faux or PU leather, so a little surprising. I would expect that price to come down a little to be competitive. Overall though, pretty decent sandals that run a little large.
