These shoes look nice and are well made. My 22-month-old daughter has been wearing these shoes for several months nonstop, and they're holding up very well--like all Stride Rite shoes I've purchased. I agree with another reviewer who mentioned their versatility (good for both church and play), on top of which my daughter loves wearing them; coupling these factors with quality/durability, I wouldn't hesitate to buy another, larger size when she outgrows her current pair.
