The shoes are comfy, cute, and easy to take on and off. They don't have a large amount of support, but for the young that doesn't seem to matter and my daughter loves them and wears them all day long. Her current favorite pair of shoes. I tried them on and wear the same size so can say they were comfy even without having arch support like I generally prefer. They also didn't rub in any spots like new shoes often does for me.
