We bought these for my 7 year old who attends Catholic school. She wears them 3-4 days/week and plays on the playground in them. She says they're the most comfortable shoe she's ever worn - which is a great endorsement - but I'm finding that they're wearing out at the toe of the shoe and we're only 2 months into the school year. I'd like them to at least make it 6 months before having to replace them and I don't know if these will.
