We really wanted to love these boots since my daughter is obsessed with MLP. She loved the design, but the boots were a lot bigger than expected. If she ran, they would frequently fall of her feet. She was still determined to wear them and we were able to get them to fit enough to stay on while walking with thicker socks. The size could have been managed, but after only a few short weeks the boots started leaking. We live in the Pacific NW, so we have lots of rain and puddles that my daughter loves to splash in. Too quickly, the top of the boots started splitting apart from the pink rubber edging that goes around the entire boot. Not one boot, BOTH boots. I gave 2 stars because they are very cute, but they fell apart really fast and let her feet get soaked and the sizing is off.
