We ordered our third pair of Merrell Jungle Mocs for our daughter. Her first pair a few years ago was purchased on a whim...not sure if she would like them or want to wear them. They quickly became her favorite shoes. Our daughter wears her mocs everyday to school and only turns to her sneakers on gym days. These shoes hold up amazingly well. Her pair from last year was worn every single day and still look great. No problems with them coming apart or losing shape. They are comfortable and are a great alternative to wearing boots to school in the winter, while still working for spring & fall. LOVE LOVE LOVE these shoes. We hesitated on our first pair, as the price is a bit high for kids shoes (they grow so fast) but they are worth every penny!!!! I recommend these to everyone! You won't be disappointed!
