I was wearing these with socks when my child's foot was 12-12.5 cm last December. I wore them about 15 times, so the soles are a little worn, and some areas of the velour look faded after a light wash, but from a distance, they still look cute and wearable. My child has outgrown them, so if anyone would like to try them out at a low price, please do! ☺
