My 6 year old daughter wanted these shoes sooo bad. So when she needed new shoes this was what we got for her. The shoes are cute, but only lasted about 2 months. My daughter has several pairs of shoes, boots sandals, so the shoes were not worn everyday.  Her feet lift out of them when she runs, and the sides sort of folded down? not sure if that makes sense or not. I am a sketcher fan, and that is the only shoe i buy for myself, Fact is the shoe is cute but not great quality.  :( sorry sketcher.
