I purchased these boots for our daughter, for our 2 week trip to Europe. She wore them every day.  No matter the weather, they kept her feet dry. They are sturdy, and made walking easy and secure for her. She had great ankle support, sturdy traction, and the velcro and elastic laces made it easy for our daughter to put on herself.  The boots are well made and held up great.  Now that we are home, these are her go to shoes.  She loves them and their cute pink color.  I will defiantly look for other Polo Kids shoes to purchase in the future.
