My daughter wore these semi-daily for the past 7-8 months.  During that time they have served her well and she seems very happy with the shoe.  They fit her well and appeared to give her the support she needs on her little feet.

Mostly, kids grow so fast at this age that durability of a shoe is rarely a concern.  However, I've noticed that with these shoes, the rubber on the soles of the shoes have worn down a lot more than expected, and on the heel there's not much rubber left.  Same with the area under the balls of her feet. It's not like my kid is grossly overweight (actually a bit underweight) or drags her feet around like Frankenstein or clomps around like a monster, so I was a little surprised to see the degree of wear on the shoe.  Her older brother, who is a lot more abusive to his footwear than my daughter, has never been able to wear down a pair of shoes like this, so I'm guessing this may be a characteristic of this shoe.

Regardless, the shoes have served my daughter well and we're happy with them.  They just won't be able to be used as hand-me-downs.
