I bought these for my 4 year old because they were a classic simple style and super cute.  It also helped that compared to the $50+ kids shoes we usually buy from Pediped, Ecco, etc. they were relatively cheap.  She ended up wearing these to Disney Woeld since we couldn't persuade her to wear tennis shoes with her princess dresses.  We were there four days, it rained every day we were there and we did a LOT of walking.  Everyone else in our group--adults and kids--had more expensive and more substantial shoes (Adidas, Clarks, Keens), but these were the shoes that dried the quickest and my daughter was the only one to come home without a single blister on her feet or even complaining that her feet/shoes hurt once.  I will definitely buy again next year!
