They are exactly as shown in the picture, very attractive. I got the right size by measuring his foot (21.5 cm) and ordering size 34; there's still a finger's width of space before his big toe. You can use the size chart as a guide. I'm considering how much his foot might grow since the soles are rubber and should last all summer. The quality seems very good. The packaging was excellent, with a bubble bag. I recommend them. They're quite popular!
