I got these for my daughter to wear to camps that required closed-toed sandals and then to start off the school year.  So far they are holding up great and look very cute.  My issues with them are that she gets blisters if she doesn't wear socks with them AND her feet get very stinky in them, quickly!  Our remedy has been to send her in socks but with a Mary Jane style shoe, this is not always what we want to do (and she REALLY dislikes socks!)  They have washed up nicely though and she tells me they are comfortable despite the blisters (although my guess is, this is to avoid the wearing of socks).  I would not buy these again for the above reasons but they are working well enough to finish out their use this year.
