I gave these shoes to my daughter for Christmas.  She LOVED them.  I thought they were very cute as well. They reminded me of Punky Bruster. :) However, it is now January 11 and the side of the shoe sole is pulling away from the shoe and the colors are peeling off. This isn't a rough and tumble girl. This is just normal to school (for a week) and around the house wear.  My daughter is so sad and wants another pair, but for them to last 3 weeks? She hasn't even wore them everyday! That is crazy.  Low low quality. Darn.
