We bought these for our daughter's 4th birthday in October 2017. We loved the bright and colorful, adorable design. They seemed very well made and sturdy, however, after 5 months the boot has a big gash that started along the seam. We had thought that these boots would last at least one fall/winter season for our girl,  especially since she wasn't hard on them - just normal playing and jumping in muddy puddles. Sadly, she still loves them and wants to wear them, but gets absolutely soaked when even walking normally with them since the rip is so low on the boot. We won't be spending another $35 for a pair of boots that lasts less than half a year.
