Customer Reviews Tsukihoshi Kids Maru (Toddler)

These are some of the best kids shoes around. They are lightweight yet sturdy and hold up to lots of washing. They wear extremely well. They are easy to put on and take off. They provide a lot of support, too.

My 17 month old son adores these shoes. He has thick (deep from bottom to top, rather than wide) feet, and many other shoes are impossible to get on or hurt his feet. Although we have some other shoes that seem to fit him, he refuses to wear anything but his Tsukihoshis. These shoes are ideal for an infant who is beginning to walk and/or an active young toddler: they are lightweight and flexible and enable the foot to move naturally. Our pediatrician, Early Intervention motor skill specialists, and other parents in the playground have all asked where we got the shoes and commented on how fabulous they are. After months of beating by a very active boy in a muddy playground his shoes still look as good as new. We have them in brown: though this colour doesn't show much dirt it is easy to wash (we also have white Tsukihoshis for our equally active daughter and they also wash well, though they do show the dirt sooner).

I have three pairs of these, in various colors, because they fit my 16 month old who has wide feet. He loves them!

Great Shoe - I bought this for my 17 month old in the blue. They are very cute. They are very light weight. However, I believe that I should order down but had to exchange the shoe. My son wears a 5 in Stride Rite shoes and he needed a size 5 in these. He gets tons of compliments and he is eager to hand me the shoe so that I can put them on for him. I wish they had more infant shoes!

These shoes are very tough. I bought my grandson and he wore them until he needed a bigger size (6 months). They looked and stood up under everyday wear like the new ones. Very good choice.

This is the 2nd time I buy this brand for my kids, I love how they're designed for little kid's feet, so light, flexible and comfortable. They're very stylish too, everybody likes them, my 2-year-old only want to wear his red shoes! The only issue I noticed is that, each time, the front rubber gets used relatively quickly and it starts wearing out a bit. I can't say that my boys are gentle to their shoes, though.

Comfort without sacrificing aesthetic value - It's time for my baby to move from crib shoes to toddler shoes. I've been using crib shoes for him to walk in his first walking stage because I like the flexibility of the sole which is hard to come by in toddler shoes. I was sold by a flex joint sole of this model. The transition was seamless. My 14 month old has no problem walking and running in it. The machine washable feature is a big plus. I'm a clean freak so... However, it's not dryer safe. I assumed it would be so I put it in the dryer and the sole kinda came off. I discovered it early so I pressed it back, kept fingers crossed that the glue would still hold them together, and it did. Now at 16 months, my son can take the shoes off by himself. Thanks for the easy strap. I can see how the arch support helps with his walking so I'm very pleased with it. I would recommend it to a friend.

Perfect! They fit very well and are flexible enough for young walkers and new walkers. My son loved to stomp around in them. I haven't noticed any blisters or red spots. They hold up well against the sprinkler and mud puddles as well. Easy to get off and on, and very cute. My husband wishes they made these shoes in adult sizes!

Love these shoes so much. They have lasted much longer than the other See Kai Run shoes we had before. Our crawler had put holes in those in less than a week. He's walking now but these still look brand new after a couple months. They are very light and the red looks great!

These shoes are just perfect for little ones! They cannot get any better. They are lightweight, roomy, comfortable, easy to put on and take off, nice and colorful, stylish, easy to run with, and even machine washable. The sole looks really comfortable. Just too bad that they do not come in bigger sizes. They are almost too small for my 2½ year old son, we will try another pair from Tsukihoshi.

I love these shoes! I bought my first pair when my son was 11 months old and wore a size 6.5 shoe. These shoes are super lightweight, easy to slip on quickly and he loves to wear them! He is now 15 months old and in a size 8 and I have bought him, yet again, a new pair of Tsukihoshi's. These shoes are great for foot development and easy to learn to walk in. In every other shoe I put my little on in, he would revert to crawling. I stuck these shoes on him and within a few minutes he was up and on the go again!

We bought these shoes for my son in October when he turned one. He is now a full fledged toddler and these shoes have been wonderful. They are very light and breathable, have a sturdy but flexible sole and are adorable. They are very easy to get on. I will be very sad when he outgrows them.

Love these shoes! So easy to put on that my 21 month old can do it himself! Only one strap to fasten and shoe opens wide when strap is unfastened. I got as hand-me-downs. My child is 3rd to wear and they are still in great shape!

This is a great shoe for toddlers, especially one who is starting to learn to walk. It's really easy to put on and it's really light weight.

Absolutely SUPER shoes. Bought these for my 18 month old and they fit his wide feet perfectly. Easy on and off, flexible soles. He LOVES them and doesn't ever want to take them off. Now he's outgrown them and the infant sizes, but I'm buying more of this brand!

I bought these at a local shoe shop to get my son's foot measured. My mother was with me and she is in her 60's and I am in my 40's. She was feeling all of the variety of shoes (only upper end kids shoe store). She said that she didn't get it. Most of the tennis shoes (or sneakers as my husband calls them) aren't flexible and they are heavy and hard. I have to admit she is right. We came across these shoes...cheaper than the others. And they are super light and very flexible. My kids (when younger than 2) wore Robeez and no sole type of shoes. These are a great next step. My 2 year old son has a little bit of a wide foot. But these are not listed as wide. They remind me of the fit of my euro shoes from the walking store. A euro cut shoe (as told to me by the sales guy...who knows he could have been feeding me a line of bologna) is wider in the toe area. I can feel it when I wear them. Wonderful if you are on your feet all day. These shoes have held up over the past 6 months with lots of running, crawling, banging, you name it! I will buy them for both of my kids this next time. My son has the red ones and they are really adorable and we get lots of compliments!

Our son loves these shows and wears them until he outgrows them. This was the third time that we have bought them for him. He is two and can put them on and off by himself, which is a huge help for us and helps his sense of independence. Highly recommended.

Best shoe in the world - This is just the best shoe ever. I am getting ready to order my second pair for my 2 1/2 yr old boy. I put these through the washer and dryer often. They wore like iron through mud, rocks and playground. He soaked these 2 or 3 times during potty training and I was glad I had the no-odor insole and could wash them! If you are hesitating-don't.

Great shoes - These shoes are great... Light as air, easy on/off, strong velcro, no rubbing, removable sock for easy cleaning, and they look great.

Great Shoe! This is my first time buying this brand of shoe for my 2.5 year old son. I was impressed with how lightweight they are, and easy to get on. My son has wide feet and very high arch; these shoes fit him well and he loves to wear them. I was so impressed by these shoes I ordered the purple/pink one for my 2.5 year old daughter as well. Great shoe!

Ultra Light! These shoes are nice and wide and are ultra light and durable. Perfect for orthotic use!

Cute shoes for a little man! Love the style for my son...very hip and cool. Also, comfortable and easy to put on.

I am a little disappointed in these shoes. The soles are particularly stiff and my daughter doesn't walk as well in them as shoes with a more flexible sole. That said, the construction is excellent and I love the fact that the shoes can be washed and look new again. However, I bought a different brand (with a more flexible sole) to replace these.
