Detailed Review
The OshKosh B'Gosh Girls Powell Athletic Sneaker stands out in the competitive market of toddler footwear. Its blend of sustainability and practicality makes it appealing for parents who prioritize both their child's comfort and environmental impact.
In terms of comfort, these sneakers excel with their breathable knit upper, which allows for airflow and prevents overheating during active play. The pull-on design eliminates the hassle of buckles or laces, making it easy for toddlers to put them on by themselves, fostering confidence and independence.
When it comes to versatility, these sneakers shine brightly. They seamlessly transition from playgrounds to pools, thanks to their water-ready adaptability. Parents will appreciate how easy they are to clean – simply toss them in the washing machine after a muddy day out, and they're good as new.
However, while they offer great advantages, there are a couple of considerations. The limited color options may not satisfy every child's preference, and the slip-on style might not provide the snug fit needed for particularly active toddlers, potentially causing them to lose a shoe during more vigorous activities.
Overall, the OshKosh B'Gosh Girls Powell Athletic Sneaker is a fantastic option for eco-conscious families looking for functional and stylish footwear for their little ones.

The shoes are excellent quality, true to size and easy to put on my very active toddler. Well worth the money.
These are lightweight, seem to be comfortable and the best part: they stay on! Baby is 18 months, size 6 fits perfectly with some extra room. Hope more styles will be available again.
These have been great shoes. They slip on easily enough and more importantly stay on! My son loves wearing these daily and we will likely be buying another pair when he outgrows his current. Definitely recommend.
Fit my 18 month old perfectly. Stays on all day at daycare and breathes for his sweaty feet. Washed them twice (air dried) and still look great!
Love them! Exactly as the pictures showed and the quality is really nice, the strap on top is elastic and can be lifted to help slide them on. Only reason I took a star off is because I bought these to size my son up from a 9 toddler to a size 10toddler and these size 10s are almost close to his size 9s so make sure you know exactly what size foot your child has. His toe has room but not as much as I expected . Glad he still fits 9 so he can wear these as well.
I liked the price and how easy it is for my toddler to put on their shoes.
I love this product! I paid under $18 and am praying they go down again as I intend to buy every size 11 color I can! No blisters & no break in ... btw kids or adult shoes if you buy the right product should NEVER need to "break in". That means they are not in a product that fits there feet appropriately per 3 podiatrist Dr.'s and 2 pediatricians and common sense with one exception ... Leather & suede esp if lambs wool footbed. Yep, fits as expected and this this Fred Flinstone footed child approved! Ps have had for over 3 month and swim, we climb, we puddle, we beat the beans out of them and they are TONKA!
Omg these are SO cute!! I like that the fabric is thin and breathable/moveable for new little walkers! I’m a big “no shoes until they’re walking” kind of mom so when my little one started taking her first steps recently I needed something supportive for her feet while we’re outdoors, yet comfortable enough for her feet to move the way they’re meant to without being jammed into a stiff, Inflexible shoe. Added bonus: they are too adorable!! I’ve already ordered up the next size! LOVE these shoes
