My daughter only wears these for her ballet lessons.  They hold up well.  As others have mentioned in reviews, sizing can be tricky.  My daughter is 5 and wears a 11.5 sneaker.  She outgrew the size 12 capezio ballet shoe that fit fine when she was in shoe size 11.  I ordered her the size 13, and it was way too big.  So now we're going to try the 12.5.
