My 10 year old daughter and 6 year old son loved these shoes last summer.  These are much better and cuter than Crocs.  These stay on thier feet and do not smell with sweaty summer days.  The white part on my sons black shoes did wear off, but he wore them almost every day of the summer.  I like the full coverage on these shoes for summer camp and bike riding.  They are worth the price and a great pair of summer time shoes.  They rinse of easily after playing at the beach or playground.
