My daughter adores her Twinkle Toes Skechers. This is the second pair we have purchased. I agree with other reviewers that these shoes don't last long, especially for the price. The lights, which everyone comments on, work only sporadically at best after only a week or so. The shoes aren't constructed to last very long, either. Her first pair is less than three months old, and the glitter is worn off and some of the seams are fraying. However, these are one of very few shoes that can be worn over ankle-foot orthotics (braces), and they make my daughter feel special, so I don't care. I'll buy a new pair every six weeks if I have to.
