Used for casual wear but purchased for a function.

My husband and I are expecting are first child in a few months. That being said, I am woefully inexperienced when it comes to buying clothing for babies. When I ordered these, I initially thought these might fit a newborn because the label says 0-6 mos. I was hoping that our baby girl would be able to wear these home from the hospital. Unfortunately, after doing some research, I’m no longer sure that will be possible. These shoes are about the size of a U.S. size 2-3 for infants and are actually quite large. I included a sizing chart for reference purposes, since there may be others like me who do not know the difference. They do not have any elastic lining to keep them on like some brands do, a small consideration that other brands I found on Amazon do make for similar products. For size reference I’ve included a side by side photo with a size 0 purchased from Carter’s. The shoes from Carter’s (on the right side of above mentioned photo) are much smaller and actually meant to fit a newborn baby up to six weeks. Luckily, babies grow, so for $10 I don’t mind holding on to these until our baby will be able to wear them. Other than issues of size, these are lovely shoes with a very good price point. They are a nice, shiny, black with softly slick bottoms. They came exactly as pictured.

I read several reviews before ordering to make sure I purchased the correct sized shoe. Everyone commented that they ran quite large so I purchased a size smaller than my daughter wears and they *barely* fit. If you're like me, you prefer shoes that have a little growing room, so I suggest ordering the suggested size for the child's age.

I have attempted to order these shoes twice b/c they are very cute and their good quality. I ordered the 0-6m when she was 2 months, foot only filled about half the shoe. I gave them another shot now that she's 5months and they still too big, her foot slips right out as soon as she moves even slightly! very unfortunate :-/

It is my opinion that these shoes run larger than most size 2 (6-12 month) infant shoes such as Carter's and Koala Baby. My 11 month old daughter has long, narrow feet. These shoes fit her length-wise, but width-wise they were enormous. Even with socks they were too wide. I will have to return for a narrower shoe. If your daughter has wider or puffy feet, these shoes will fit her comfortably. Narrow feet, look elsewhere.
