Admittedly these are super cute shoes. I ordered them for my girls in the pink and I was impressed with the look and feel. But when my daughter slipped them on right away she complained that it felt funny. She noticed something that no other reviewer mentioned... the low back of the shoe! The heel back is so low the shoe is basically a slide, not the best plan for an active 6 year old. Hmmm, the Jambu Canopy looks to be the same criss-cross style but with a higher heel back. I think I will be exchanging.
