My daughter wore her first pair of Daisies for 3 full years of weekly dance classes and through three recitals.  (They were sized a little large at first.). These shoes have held up.  They clean up with a little soap and water.  We ordered her second pair, and they look beautiful :).  My son has them in black, and they work for him too.  He has a very wide foot, and we were able to find a size for him.  He's been in his for two years.  For the little kids you can get away with ordering up a bit to give them growing room.  (Not too much, but having a little extra in the toe doesn't hurt their dancing.)
