I bought this for my daughter about a year and a half ago and it has held up and she still loves it.  These definitely give a look of quality and style, more than your average shoes for a kid.  I'm repeating my statements for this shoes as I am for another shoe that I bough at the same time for my kid as they both are great quality and style, so I am not a robot or a paid person posting almost identical reviews for kid's shoes.  Since both shoes rate the same for me, I though it just easier to cut and paste, but then I though, people will think I'm a robot or a fake rater, so I'm adding more statement to this one.
