My girls just love their new shoes. We bought two pairs in purple.  I wanted a shoe that was cute, girlie and sturdy.  The shoe is all of that and sparkly.  They both call them "their pretty purple shoes" and I think that says it all. They love to wear them around the house even when we are not going anywhere as well as they wear them to the playground. They are very comfortable for them and they are able to put them on their-selves quite easily.  They do seem to run a bit bigger than some other shoes that we have in this size but we just be sure to always wear socks with them.  I would buy them again and probably will when they outgrow them.
