I bought these for my 8 yo daughter. They were my first venture into buying her more expensive shoes, i.e. not from Target, because she is always complaining her feet hurt. Once she they came in she was so excited about the color, true to the red pictured. She has been wearing them for a few weeks now and she loves them. Her feet are not hurting her and they are extremely durable. Most other sandals I would buy her would be ruined from playing outside. Hopefully these will get her through the summer and beyond.
