My daughter is very particular about her shoes. She doesn't wear them if they are uncomfortable. I have had to send back a lot of shoes because of this. These, she loves and wears until they are torn apart. I gave it a 4 stars because I only wish the ribbons were better secured and would not come off so easily. She pulled the ribbons out the first day, and I got sick and tired of trying to poke them back in their tiny wholes so now she is walking around without them.
