They are very beautiful, but I give one star because they are not flexible at all and the 2-year-old cannot walk in them. Of course, as soon as he put them on, he started running and went like a duck. In my opinion, if you want ballet flats for a more formal appearance, prefer the flex walk ballet flats from this company. They may not be as stylish, but kids can walk and run as much as they want! Save their little feet and stay away from such stiff shoes!
