These shoes are cute, seem comfortable and my daughter (who has just turned two) has requested to wear them everyday since their arrival. But more than that I was very very impressed with their durability/quality. We went to he park and my daughter was plying on a cement structure. I was concerned about scuffing or damage to the shoe and as we left the park I took a look to see what had happened to her brand new shoes (which I would not consider inexpensive), I was amazed to see that there was not a mark to be seen! These shoes are worth every penny, plus they come with a second insole so you can get a half size larger and remove the second one as feet grow (which extends use). I've had too many shoes for our daughter that she wears just a few times and has outgrown already. I highly recommend these shoes.
