I was thinking about buying a pair and when I mentioned it to my mom she told me I was crazy and there would be no way he could walk in them (??). She of course is old school, hard ankle boot type of woman though.
So if you had them, did your LO have issues walking with them and keeping them on their feet?
They will just be for the beach and back yard, not planning on walking a mile with him in them ![]()

We got DS his first pair at about 18 mos and he didn't have issues. We've gotten them every summer since. This year we got the Crocband ones, which I think are pretty cute.

DS1 has been wearing them since he was 2.....no problems and he lives in them during the spring/summer!
I am going to buy a pair for DS2 for this summer. I wasn't sure about him yet (he is 18 months.......), but he put on an old pair of DS1's and was doing fine in them, so I'm going to get him a pair as well.
I love, love them
SO easy to get on and off and they clean up really well.
I thought the same thing as your mom but it was totally not the case. I bought her a pair that fit perfectly last year and they were great. I bought them at the beach after a half day of constantly cleaning out sand from her sandals. They were great for the beach and just as good when we got home.
Unfortunately, their sizing is weird and then only come in 4-5 and 6-7 (I guess we need a 5-6) so the 6-7s are just too big and I do worry she wouldn't really be able to walk in them so I passed this time around but if her feet grow this summer and the fit is right I will definitely go wiht them again.
Oliver is not great at gross motor skills. He has trouble walking in good shoes some days! But after about half an hour in his crocs he was fine. He has no more issues in them than any other shoes.
(Although, like you they are to wear in the back yard and around the house. He doesn't even wear them running errands or anything.)
