My daughter asked for tom's for her 12th birthday. We are on a tight budget so this was a major purchase for us. We purchased a pair in april and one month later her toe had worn thru. She can't wear them anymore. We bought these in a store and the sales clerk measured her for a true fit.  She wasn't even allowed to wear them out to play so that we could keep them looking nice.  Well,  this is an inferior product and i would never buy them again. What a waste of money.
