We adore livie & Luca shoes. The shoes are quality made. The shoes have a real story behind them. We have been buying livie & Luca shoes since my grandbaby has been 1 year old. The shoes are made so the foot can be natural not cramped together at the toes like so many other brands are made. The shoes are leather and each style has a good gripper sole on it. The price for the shoes is not outrageous. The shoes are well worth what you will pay. Since children grow so quickly the resale value on the shoes is also wonderful. You will not be disappointed with livie & Luca shoes.
