I bought these shoes online, and the pink stitching didn't show through on my computer screen.  I'm not a huge fan of pink for girls, so my baby doesn't have any pink clothing to match the thread in these shoes.  But, to be honest, the stitching is so inconspicuous that you barely notice it.  And that's saying a lot for me, since I have a pretty low tolerance for pink!  More importantly, my little-one finds them comfortable and easy to walk in, so I decided to keep them.  They're not a hassle for me to get on and off, which can be a rare trait with sandal styles.  And they're perfect for keeping my baby girl's feet cool during the hot summer days, plus they match with just about anything, despite the pink thread.  The only "minus" with these shoes (besides the pink stitching) is that my little-one can pull them off rather easily, and they frequently fall off her feet, even if she doesn't pull them off.  She's 11 months old and I ordered these sandals in the 6-12 month size, so they've got a bit of room to grow, but they're definitely not too big/long.  (I subsequently tried a similar pair of Robeez sandals on her in the 0-6 month size, and they smushed her toes because they were too short).  My baby girl has slim feet, so I think that's why these shoes fall off sometimes.  Luckily, every time this happened I noticed right away and just put the dropped shoe back on her foot.  But it's definitely something to consider if you have a little-one with slim feet ... At this price-point, these are not shoes you want to lose!
