Bought these for my 4 yr old daughter, she loved them and put them on as soon as they arrived, however, the first day at school and the front of the shoe (pink suede) was already dirty.  We've had them for a 3+ weeks now and she wears them everyday dispite what they look like, since they are pretty pricey but so far the material and construction of the shoe has held up well!  My opinion I wish the pink rubber part was all the way across the front of the shoe- this would allow the scuff marks and dirt to get on that part and not the suede which makes the shoe look dirty!  I'm still a Pediped customer and will continue to purchase the brand of shoes until she completely outgrows them!
