Durable, long lasting, tough and comfortable!  The kiddos slip them on with ease and they are perfect for 3 of the 4 seasons!  We get them wet at the water park, dirty at the zoo, and they go for miles in the grass!  Great shoe!  I was leery about spending this much on a pair of shoes that they would soon grow out of, but they are worth it!  They even look great with their little sun dresses.  Whether they are left in the rain, or full of sand, these shoes go the distance. I bought a pair for all of my kids!
