We really liked these for our son. The waterproof part of it was great for him to play in puddles.
I bought two pairs, one for my 4-year-old and one for my 6-year-old. 6-year-old. We love the colors and they are so comfortable. I will say that they are not as breathable as some of their other models. My kids come home with pretty sweaty feet. I also wish they had the strings that tighten. However, the velcro is better than some of their other models and covers more of the strip and we're able to tighten more. I'm still a bit worried as they wear that the Velcro will wear out.
I bought these for my 3 year old granddaughter who loves camping and hiking with her parents. She loved them so much she didn't want to wait for their upcoming camping trip and started wearing them to school.
