I bought 3 pairs of these shoes (for next year)... I bought the sizes 11, 1 and 2.  When they arrived I matched them up next to my kids' current sized sandals and they are 1 size too small... meaning they fit THIS YEAR.  So if you're buying an 11, they're really 10 and so on... We haven't worn these yet.  They look sturdy.  I like the adjustable velcro in the back and over the top of the foot.  However returning the shoes is a colossal pain, especially when Amazon counts how many returns you make and that causes a black mark against your account.  So I will be keeping the 1 for my youngest, the 2 for my middle child and find something else for my oldest.  That's the reason for the 3 stars.
