This was really well received by our 9yr old... AND... it's a great price, which is so important with her feet growing faster than the rest of her!!!

They were also a hit with the other kids, which we all know is so important at that age.

They weren't any fun to lace up the first time but after that there is a zipper to get in and out of them (like tall boots).  The laces were a huge benefit though in getting them to fit my daughters ultra skinny feet!

Don't expect these to last like an expensive pair of shoes but if you want a good budget choice and you like the style... I don't think you can really go wrong.
