These were very cute shoes when they arrived. Unfortunately the quality is very poor. Within 2 days of my daughter wearing them they developed frays and threads from every surface edge/stitched area. This was with normal wear and not a result of misuse. Later the patent toes were too easily scuffed and worn. They do not look nice after 1 week. Oh well, they were pretty cheap and one of the few shoes in navy that I could find to match her uniform.
