mini melissaUnisex-Child Mini Campana Zig Zag Mary Jane Flat

We ordered these shoes to wear to Disney as recommended by several others for wearing with "princess dresses", etc. while still being comfortable for all day wear. We ended up wearing them one morning and one night for events where my daughter dressed as Cinderella (they were great as "glass slippers"), but I do not have an all day park experience as that was the most we ended up wearing them.Things I love about these shoes:They sparkle beautifully and truly look like "princess" shoesThey are a very flexible gel material (kind of like jellies from the 80's) that appear to be very comfortableYou can wear them with socks or withoutThey can be worn to daycare or other locations that have "closed toe" restrictionsThey are easy to take on and off and my young daughter can easily take care of this herselfThings I don't love about these shoes:There are gold seals on the soles of the shoe's footbed that my daughter complains sticks in her feet when she is wearing them barefoot (she is a bit picky so it may something that would not bother most kids)The flexibility of the shoe's material causes the shoe to be sort of flimsy feeling in your hand and when putting on - it makes them feel like they will be more likely to come undone while wearingThe strap and attaching part seems smaller than on our other Mini Melissa's, which also makes me feel like they will be more likely to come undone while wearingThe material that the soles are made of could be slippery on certain surfaces (playground, etc.)

These are a pearl white color that goes with everything and the candy smell is great. I chose to buy these instead of buying white sandals for my 3 1/2 year old's summer dresses because they go with dresses, shorts, her swimsuit, everything. I say that these fit as expected but I expected them to run small. My daughter wears a size 9 in Nike tennis shoes and a size 8 in Converse (both with wiggle room) and I ordered a 10 in these shoes and she has enough room to last the summer for sure. The first pair of Mini Melissa's my daughter wore were pink Zig Zag hand me downs from a friend and they have since been passed down to her cousin so they lasted through three 2 year olds and still look great.

I have has purchased nanny pairs of this exact shoe for my daughter as she outgrows them. This is the only one I have purchased from Amazon and the Velcro just isn't as good as the previous pairs. They don't stay on well which is disappointing and potentially dangerous for a toddler.

These shoes are adorable. My girls wore them for a full day at Disney with their princess dresses. They don’t need to be broken in like some jellies and were comfortable for a full day of walking. My biggest complaint is the velcro…. It’s absolute garbage. But because of reading other reviews, I was fully prepared and had new Velcro to super glue onto the shoes. If the company used better velcro then these shoes would be perfect.

These are absolutely adorable but beware these run small!! Order next size up!!

My eldest is 3.5 years old and she's been wearing mini Melissa's for two years now. This is probably our 6th pair and I've gotta say this was the softest one out of all of the ones she owns material wise. All of them are slightly different across the styles. For example The footbed padding is not as cushy as the other pairs we own but the jelly part is super flexible. It suits the purpose in this case because I needed something more breathable in the summer that she can put on and take off by herself easily. the design is super cute and I don't mind her getting them wet for those impromptu sprinkler playground visits in the summer.

My daught is 16 moths old. Foot length 12 cm, perfect for her. Very beautiful, I like it very much, it’s okay to walk for a long time at the zoo.

This is my favorite shoes and my kid has been wearing every size. I just need this one pair of shoes for her during summer time, she can wear it to parks, to play water, to kick soccer, to attend wedding…… so every occasion it works, really love it. Just remember that the size is consistently smaller than other brands, so just order one size up.

Love these shoes, they look so pretty and unlike most toddler Mary-Janes, you can easily clean them if they get dirty or wet. The inner sole is padded as well so it's nice and comfy on my little girl's feet.
