My son wore these when he was between 1.5 and 2 years old. I think he wore them to daycare and for everyday use. He was at the age where he could run, and he often fell, so there are scuffs and scratches. The dirt on the insoles could probably be removed with a little more effort, but I'm leaving it as is to avoid damaging the material. There are some holes, but they don't go all the way through, so I think a child of this age could still wear them out completely. I'm offering them at a lower price due to the scratches, but please refrain from excessive price reductions as there are shipping costs.
