I had seen a review from a mom who said that the shoes were tight on her daughter's already narrow foot and overlooked it because I thought they would fit well on my daughter's very thin and narrow foot. I was wrong because, in the end, just like the other woman had said, they fit very poorly on the child's foot. The strap that attaches to the buckle is not very elastic and is tight. It left a mark on the child's skin and hurt her a lot. Also, since it lacks elasticity, it is really difficult to put the shoe on itself. The quality is mediocre because when putting on the shoe, the frill on the strap came off as if it had torn at the seam. I put them on her once for 2 hours and then we threw them away. A very bad purchase that I could have avoided if I had taken the other review I had read more seriously.

My daughter has narrow little feet. And yet, she struggles to put them on because of the tight elastic. And they caused her a big wound within an hour of wearing them. You can't really call them soft.
