My Granddaughter is on her 3rd pair of these shoes.  Last pair bought in August (has outgrown) and they still look fantastic.  She loves them.  The way the velcro strap is.. it always looks neat and tiddy.  A bit pricey but they hold up GREAT, you won't be disappointed.  All 3 pair have been the brown with pink.  It's a nice sneaker and you can get away with it as a nice casual shoe too.  She loves them..
